After and extremely trying day at work, my biggest questions is : What am I gonna make for dinner and what goes good with a glass of white wine?
Basically, my day sucked yesterday and well, family issues definitely didn't help make it any better. All I could really think about towards 4pm is what am I gonna have for dinner and what kind of white wine I should get. I was browsing online for recipes of comfort food. Let me tell you, comfort food ain't so comforting for the person making it~! Comfort food takes A LOT of time and tons of ingredients that are not readily available in my kitchen nor at most chain grocery stores.
Once again, my old friend Fresh & Easy came through for me. They usually have a pretty good selection of wine so I went there in search of a good bottle of white and hoping that wandering down the isles would give me some inspiration.
When I think of white wine I always always think of cheese. Might be the whole white thing. I think of cheese, green grapes and some sarong wearing, wash board abs pool boy fanning me with a giant banana leaf and feeding me grapes. I kid I kid. I only think of cheese and green grapes. So, what better way to eat cheese than having it warm and melty on pizzas? Ready made fresh pizza dough is awesome~! I remember a Food Network show I saw awhile back that had something called a sauceless pizza. I was intrigued by the idea. I mean, how do you have a pizza without sauces? The best part of the pizza is the sauce~!
Anyway, I digress. Sauceless pizza pretty much means what it is, sauceless. The way I see it, sauceless is just another excuse for me to load up on cheese...mmmmm....cheese.
So this is what I put on my sauceless pizza. Ricotta and mozzerella cheese; fresh grape tomatoes, sliced; a handful of torn arugula leaves; sprinkling of garlic infused olive oil and then a generous amount of fresh cracked black pepper and some salt. Bake in the oven at 450 degrees for 20 minutes.
And.........
It. Was. Awesome. And paired with a glass or two.....or three....of Chardonnay....yummmmm. *sigh* <----content sigh *grin*
