Chicken Caprese Pizza


                  We all know about Vodka in Marinara Sauce....but, what about Tequila???
               Well I started thinking as I was about ready to make this. What if I put a couple
                tablespoons of Tequila in the sauce...It was a long day. I know you understand..
                I must say it was all I needed. A star was born. Of course, you could leave it out
                entirely. But, I say go for it. It all cooks out anyways. Happy Day To YOU.

Summer Veggie Pizza


         Pizza...oh how I love thee. Pizza should be on top of the food pyramid. Could you
         eat it everyday? I know, I could...easily! I prefer lots of fresh veggies on top verses
         lots of meat! Summer vegetables are so amazing right now...take advantage and -
         make this. My favorite part is the corn and I think it will be your favorite part, too!
         It's also very healthy. Enjoy!

                                                          Summer Veggie Pizza

                1 pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
                cooking spray
                pizza sauce
                2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
                2 garlic cloves, crushed
                1 cup sliced red onion
                1 red bell pepper, cut into think strips
                8 ounces of asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
                2 ears of corn
                1 tablespoon of cornmeal

       Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add 4 teaspoons olive oil and garlic to the pan
       cook 2 minutes until fragrant ( do not brown). Remove garlic from oil, and discard
       garlic. Remove garlic oil from pan and set aside. Increase heat and to med-high Add
       remaining olive oil add onions and pepper. Saute 5 minutes. Place onion mixture in
       a bowl and add asparagus. Cut the corn from the cob and add to veggie mixture.
       3) Scatter the cornmeal over a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a what ever
       shape you'd like onto the prepared surface. Transfer to baking sheet and brush with
       garlic oil. Top with sauce, veggies, cheese, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
