Poor Man’s Roosevelt – Mushroom and Gruyère Flatbread

Written by , Posted in Baking, Cheese, Main Dishes, Pizza, Vegetables

Poor Man's Roosevelt

We have Pizza Fridays in our home. Even last Friday. Our oven broke, so I used the toaster and using a small baking dish did a stuffed mini pizza. So good! Pizza Fridays started when I was looking for the best pizza dough. I was going to make a different one each week and have a little competition. (Note: A few years later, I’m still searching for that perfect crust!)

A little over a month ago I thought it would be fun to try a flatbread pizza. The Roosevelt used to have an amazing Truffle Flatbread that I wanted to try to make at home. Oh man. Best idea ever! The first time we had it, we had to pause the movie so I could make a second one because it was so good! I wasn’t going to buy truffles (I mean, I want to, but a little pricy), so I used mushrooms, really thinly sliced. Just read the recipe, then try it, you won’t be sorry. Then try it with other toppings. It’s delightful! I can’t wait until tomorrow – Pizza Friday! Our oven is still broken. We’ll see what I come up with. But you, you can make this tonight, or have your own Pizza Friday!!

Happy Eating!

Written by , Posted in Dinner, Leftovers, Low Carb, Meat, Poultry, Quinoa, Vegetables

“Tasca Cacciatore” (Pocket Cacciatore)
Recipe Type: Leftovers, Main, Poultry
Author: Rachel Oberg – De Ma Cuisine
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 60 mins
Total time: 1 hour 10 mins
Serves: 2
I had a contest because I needed a name for this recipe. The winner was Angie. She won a free menu. Thanks for the clever name, Angie!
Ingredients
  • 8 swiss chard* leaves, stems removed (I didn’t cook them first, but you could steam them to make them easier to work with)
  • 2 small yellow squash**, chopped
  • 1/4 onion, chopped
  • 1/4 C daikon radish, chopped
  • 2 small carrots, chopped
  • 1 C cooked chicken, in small/medium chunks
  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1/4 to 1/2 C spaghetti sauce (I used homemade, leftover from a few weeks ago, that I froze)
  • 1 C cooked quinoa (leftovers that I froze)
  • 1 1/2 C chicken stock (I used homemade, that I froze, from a chicken we had a few weeks ago)
  • pinch nutmeg
  • 1/4 t smoky paprika (my new favorite seasoning)
  • salt and pepper
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • Parmesan cheese, for topping
  • You could also use Kale, or another large green
  • You can substitute for other veggies – this is a great way to clean out the vegetable drawer!
Instructions
  1. Lay 4 chard leaves on a plate so that they overlap and form a + sign (I hope this makes sense). Sprinkle with seasonings and oil. Pile 1/2 C chicken, half the garlic and onion in the center. Fold the leaves in, making a wrap/roll. Repeat with the second set of 4 leaves and remaining garlic and onion.
  2. In a greased loaf pan (I used a Corningware), pour stock, and mix in quinoa and spaghetti sauce.
  3. Place chard rolls in pan, on top of quinoa mixture.
  4. Place veggies around rolls (not on top, because they might burn). Drizzle rolls with olive oil.
  5. Bake at 375F for about an hour, or until the internal temperature of the roll comes to 165F.
  6. Top with Parmesan cheese. We had it with garlic bread and red wine.

Written by , Posted in Baking, Cheese, Dinner, Main Dishes, Pizza, Vegetables

I’ve been trying to make a new kind of pizza each Friday. I came up with a bunch of new and creative ideas, because while I love regular pepperoni, or ham and pineapple, it’s fun to try something new. Here’s one week’s invention:

Hope you like it! I made it for dinner with friends, along with my Philly Cheesesteak Pizza, and we ate all of both of them! Next I’m making Chicken Club Pizza. Hope it’s yummy!

Philly Cheesesteak Pizza

Written by , Posted in Baking, Beef, Cheese, Dinner, Leftovers, Main Dishes, Meat, Pizza, Vegetables

(From Feb 2011) Last night I had Broccoli Cheese Soup on the menu. When it got to be 6 o’clock and I hadn’t started it, it became clear that I needed to make something else. I had made a Pioneer Woman’s Pizza Crust the day before (it’s best after 24 hours in the fridge), we had some leftover Tri Tip, we have a ton of leeks, and we always have cheese. Thus, the Philly Cheesesteak Pizza was born… It was delicious. We may have a different kind of pizza invention every Friday from now on.
