05-21 French Bread Pizza

Another one of those anything goes meals

Make or buy a french loaf or use leftover garlic or french bread
Slice on the diagonal for more surface area if not already sliced

If its fresh and/or soft, drizzle each side with olive oil and toast under the broiler until golden brown to keep the bread from getting soggy.

At this point you can add fresh toppings and eat it cold:
salad greens and/or baby spinach tossed with olive oil and lemon juice
thin slices of asiago , parmesan, etc. or crumbled, herbed feta
slices of tomato, super thin slices of raw colored peppers, zucchini, red onions.
leftover cooked veggies
tomato or fruit chutney (like the one used for Tandoori chicken)
slices of apple or pear on the greens
hummus

Or add more traditional pizza toppings and put it back under the broiler to warm and melt:
bruschetta sauce, anitpasta sauce, spaghetti sauce,
meatballs
thinly sliced zucchini, red onion, colored peppers, baby spinach
grated cheeses
artichoke hearts, capers, corn, tomato
cooked, shredded chicken

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

01-25 Dad's Quick Italian Meatballs

Mix 1 lb lean ground beef 2 eggs 1 c Italian bread crumbs 1/2 c spaghetti sauce (more or less, see how it looks) The longer you mix/beat them, the more tender they will be Form meatballs and bake at 350F about 12 minutes Use in meal immediately or freeze for later Put in spaghetti or any pasta will work. Meatball sandwiches would be good too!
