Pizza Blanca, inspired by Leña’s Bacon Blanca:
ATK crust, garlic-oregano-parm bechamel, more parm, fresh basil, grated whole milk mozz, thinly sliced Yukon spuds, and scallion whites. After baking, I added bacon crumbles and scallion greens.
With double carbs, something acidic is required - served with a tomato-cuke-scallion chopped salad in vinaigrette.
Baked Shrimp and Orzo with Feta and Tomatoes - Browned orzo is cooked in a pan with red bell pepper, red onion, garlic, oregano, saffron, tomato juice and vegetable broth. Once you add diced tomatoes, peas, shrimps and top it with feta you bake it in the oven. Finished with some scallions.
We enjoyed another outstanding dinner at F1rst Restaurant in Hawthrone, NJ, including crispy veal chop milanese with burrata salad; halibut with cauliflower puree, mushrooms, and a leek sauce; octopus; mussels with bacon, sautéed shallots, and a leek puree. It all went great with a couple of excellent cabernets.
Such a gorgeous pizza!! 
I cooked cod Sunday. I oiled the fish, I read that somewhere, had lots of oo and butter in a hot ci skillet. It still tried to stick. I saved it using my cleaver as a spatula.
Creamy Italian sausage and mushroom sauce over cauli, corn puree. Parsley. Tomato, cucumber, red onion, oo&v, basil salad. Mushrooms and sausage were sauteed in oo & butter, added shallots and garlic, a splash of wine, Alfredo sauce and Italian seasoning. It was ok, puree needed more corn. There was wine.
Very nice!
Thanksgiving in July!! I got up early and slow cooked the Turkey Breast I picked up earlier in the week. Neighbor #2 was overjoyed at my “Thanksgiving in July” meal. I gave her some extra turkey to munch on, as she is starting to get her appetite back and trying to eat more than one meal a day.
The meal was turkey, stuffing, brown sugar & butter sweet potatoes, corn, cranberry sauce and gravy. Really tasty and quite filling!!
Non stick works a treat for fish , I also use my heavily seasoned carbon steel pan if I want to finish in the oven.
I swear this only ever happens with cod. Nonstick it is!
I’ve made this a lot and love it every time: Spinach Maria, a gloriously cheese filled version of creamed spinach. We used it as a hot spinach dip with tortilla chips. Recipe:
That looks and sounds great! My first band’s guitarist’s former wife (talk about a mouthful) made a similar dish that was amazing, and she once made it just for my GF & me to take home. We basically polished it off on the drive home 
I love spinach & will have to try this! Thx for sharing 
You are very welcome 
I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
A friend of mine used to make something very similar for our poker nights. She called it Roadkill. Spinach Maria sounds more appetizing, but we ate it anyway.
This sounds so good! Have you ever made it with frozen spinach? That is what I would do but not sure of the quantity.
I used frozen tonight. For a half recipe, 16 oz. of frozen works!
