Friday Dinner
Today I am making this recipe from Williams and Sonoma! Enjoy:)
Whole Wheat Pizza with Broccoli and Turkey Sausage
Ingredients:
- 2 tsp. plus 2 Tbs. olive oil
- Cornmeal for dusting
- 1 lb. whole-wheat pizza dough
- 2 turkey sausages
- 1 garlic clove, pressed or minced
- 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
- 1 bunch broccoli rabe, trimmed, coarsely chopped and rinsed
- 1/8 tsp. sea salt
- 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Directions:
Position a rack in the lowest position in an oven and preheat to 400°F. Grease a baking sheet or a 12-inch pizza pan with the 2 tsp. olive oil and dust with cornmeal.
On a lightly floured work surface, pat and stretch the pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
In a fry pan over medium heat, warm 1 Tbs. of the olive oil. Remove the sausages from their casings, add the meat to the pan and cook, stirring constantly and breaking up the meat into pieces, until lightly browned on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate and scrape out any browned bits from the pan.
In the same pan over medium heat, warm the remaining 1 Tbs. olive oil. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until just fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the broccoli rabe (carefully, as any water clinging to it may cause the oil to splatter) and sprinkle with the salt. Cook, stirring often, until the broccoli rabe is bright green and evenly coated with the oil, about 2 minutes. Add 2 Tbs. water to the pan and steam until the broccoli rabe is tender, about 5 minutes more, sprinkling up to 2 Tbs. more water if needed.
Scatter the cheese, broccoli rabe and sausage evenly on top of the dough. Bake until the crust is golden brown on the edges and the cheese is bubbling, 15 to 18 minutes. Let the pizza cool slightly, then cut into squares or wedges and serve immediately. Makes one 12-inch pizza; serves 4.

Foresting
Oh how I love the forest! It calls to my heart and sings to my soul surrounding me with beautiful trees that are a life source for us all. Lucky for me we live in an area full of lush forests just waiting for me to skip through chasing imagined fairies. Here are a few pics from our jaunts..
These trees were perfect for hide and go seek
I just love looking at this little pond
This where I think the fairies live
My loving husband who treks with me on our many forest jaunts

Happy Birthday Fleetwood!
My precious little kitty turned 7...SEVEN...yesterday! Sorry for the caps, but I cannot believe how fast time has went by since we adopted him. It seems like yesterday but it has been 5 years since we adopted him from our local animal rescue shelter. Here he is at our little family b-day party for him:)
I made him a cake out of Fancy Feast and Iams!
