Fresh Garden Pizza

Our garden (I say this loosely because it's my husbands garden), has begun to yield some incredible vegetables already.  We have picked at least 6 zucchini, cucumbers, yellow peppers, and my herbs are doing great.   I decided to make a healthy, fresh pizza, using the veggies from the garden.

I brushed the crust with a little EVOO and then brushed some crushed garlic.
Next I sectioned the crust with fresh roasted red peppers.



 I layered all my veggies; tomatoes, onions, thinly sliced baby zucchini and a couple of banana peppers for a little bite, lots of fresh basil and a few spinach leaves. Topped off with oregano and mozzarella cheese.




Bake on 400 for 10 minutes or so and you are ready to eat.

Pasta & Wine gift Basket

I made this gift basket for my daughter and her husband for their wedding Anniversary.
All they have to do is add some fresh Italian bread and they have an Italian meal.

Items I selected for their basket :  Red wine from the "Cape May" winery. 
 Emeril's Vodka Sauce, Penne pasta, a few Wine themed dish towels and hot pads
and I added a new cool red colander.

whaaa Laaa, this is the finished product
. I love making up different types with different themes.
