Baked Feta with Marinara 2007-09-07 16:32:00 If you can find them, use fire-roasted diced tomatoes (such as Muir Glen); just add a pinch of basil, a pinch of oregano, and a minced garlic clove. Feta doesn't melt, but baking makes it creamy and spreadable. Toasted sourdough bread and rosemary focaccia are also good accompaniments.Ingredients1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper2 garlic cloves, minced1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano, drained1 (4-ounce) package crumbled feta cheese Cooking spray32 (1/2-inch-thick) slices diagonally cut French bread baguette (about 1 pound), toastedPreparationPreheat oven to 350°.Combine first 4 ingredients in a bowl.

Homemade Italian Pizza 2007-09-17 20:29:00 What to do when your 8-year old nephew comes to visit? Make pizza, of course! Well, not of course, actually. I didn't think of it until we exhausted Sorry, Monopoly, and gin rummy. But it did turn out to be a brilliant idea as dad had just received a baking stone for Christmas, and my nephew Austin loves pizza. I told him if he helped me make it and didn't make too many faces I would put him on my website and he would be famous. That seemed to get his attention. He thought the dough was "slimy and gross" but he loved picking his own toppings, and the finished product was "awesome". I made two batches of dough, four pizzas in all, with varied toppings. Next time I'll be a bit more patient with stretching out the dough so I can get it even thinner. Look to the end of this post for some excellent links about pizza from other food bloggers.
