Tender chunks of stew meat are cooked in a luscious tomato-based sauce that filled with onion, tomatoes, and Latin spices. It's said that Carne Guisada is originally from Puerto Rico although there are many variations across Latin countries. This is a very simple dish to make and it all cooks in one pot.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Serve it over a nice bed of rice along with tortillas for a great meal. Any leftovers can be stuffed in to tortillas for soft tacos or rolled in to enchiladas. The flavor is amazing and this dish is all about the sauce and the tender meat. I made this in my Instant Pot and the meat was falling apart. You can make this on the stove top or in the oven in a Dutch oven. It will take you about 1 1/2 to make this start to finish so plan on making this on the weekend for Sunday dinner or even game day!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Enjoy!</span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJoKqdnujgJXUJTQ6zl1nINktLot1RFt8j0I3Xt666fwxcUvrZ653sfSYBVn8Q3OqwmVBgeyO9OgXHyiOoQgY_rjSr5xRdw3QMD2XvR3_2Wh9l9HoTMci36xMcHLL8xfrgEbxlobH9Ta8DjgBSWBmmZZa_CGhGCdFoU7sRrAi0JTM0ImoVLRQd7oVNr4E/s4032/20240310_205029.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJoKqdnujgJXUJTQ6zl1nINktLot1RFt8j0I3Xt666fwxcUvrZ653sfSYBVn8Q3OqwmVBgeyO9OgXHyiOoQgY_rjSr5xRdw3QMD2XvR3_2Wh9l9HoTMci36xMcHLL8xfrgEbxlobH9Ta8DjgBSWBmmZZa_CGhGCdFoU7sRrAi0JTM0ImoVLRQd7oVNr4E/w480-h640/20240310_205029.jpg" title="This mouthwatering Carne Guisada has tender chunks of seasoned beef cooked in a luscious tomato-based sauce.

So more comfort food is on the menu. Last night I decided to make some Chili Mac because it is stick to your ribs good. <i>What is Chili Mac?</i> It's a combination of a good chili and macaroni and cheese. Yum! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Typically Chili Mac is made with ground beef but since we are always on the road to healthier eating I decided to make it with ground turkey and it came out <i>extremely</i> tasty. My Easy Turkey Chili Mac is a <b>one pot meal</b> and a <b>weeknight warrior</b>. It can be made in 45 minutes including all the prep work.

Cooked slowly in a rich red wine sauce transforms them in to fall-off-the-bone tender chunks of beef. Serve them over mashed potatoes for a comforting meal worthy of company. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">We use a cooking method called braising for this dish. Braising is a two fold cooking method that starts with searing (browning quickly) the meat and then slow cooking it in a liquid. This gives you a deep levels of flavor and buttery tender meat along with a rich sauce. You can braise all cuts of meat, even chicken, but tougher cuts really benefit from this technique. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">To flavor the meat and the sauce even more I use the addition of vegetables (Matignon) such as onion, celery, and carrots along with some herbs. In some braises the solids are strained out of the sauce at the end of cooking. In this method, called Braising a' la Matignon, you keep the vegetables in the sauce and they become part of the finished dish. It's soooo good!</span></p><h2 class="mc-text-h2 highlight-shareable" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-size: var(--mc-scale-8); font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-alternates: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: none; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-variant-position: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; line-height: var(--mc-lh-heading); margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="background-color: transparent;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I hope you are not intimidated by this cooking method.

Season with salt & pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are turning brown. About 8-10 minutes. Add the garlic and tomato paste and stir together and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Add in the beef broth, bay leaves, rosemary/thyme bundle, and the beef short ribs. Hit the "cancel" button. Place the lid on and turn the knob to "sealing". Hit the "pressure cook" button and adjust set the time to 50 minutes. Once the cooking has finished allow the Instant Pot to release pressure naturally for 10 minutes then move the valve to venting to release any remaining pressure. Remove the lid. If the sauce is too liquid for your liking turn on the "sauté" setting, remove some of the liquid (1/2 - 1 cup) to a glass measuring cup and add 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch, whisking to combine. Then add the mixture back to the pot and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes.

It rained to 3 days non-stop and we got about 8-11 inches of rain. All the flooding and mudslides caused us to hunker down where it's dry and safe and think of all the comfort food dishes we could make to tide us over. My slow cooker is one of my comfort food tools. I love using it during the winter months. So I wanted to share a Tex-Mex style chicken casserole that I made in the slow cooker. It's sort of a cross between a green Enchilada casserole and a King Ranch Casserole.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Using the flavors of salsa verde, green chiles, and Latin flavors like cumin and cilantro you can make one zesty comfort meal. You layer plain old tortilla chips, (they become soft when cooked and your base for the layers) a shredded chicken mix and and a layer of a salsa verde that's mixed with cream cheese to make it rich and creamy. Set it and forget it in your slow cooker and then top it with some shredded cheddar cheese and some crunchy tortillas and dinner is served. Excellent comfort food and really just a dump and go kind of meal.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Enjoy!</span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZqZjXsBZiF2mof9Kpb9M4qAUlgE_4Yw7SWepVIltfja7xNEJEvPRByc7kiWmulgyXyf6Yj1jmkalVCu06ZJ928akl2_ojGF8o9NvHpo3GQoUT1oUp1pH19SP38OSpg7EzYTeCDsIHqvy20UIvStCbtJf20f98a9DV6xEbeoi0j_inY064YrOI78zXVKY/s2560/20240109_195136.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2560" data-original-width="1920" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZqZjXsBZiF2mof9Kpb9M4qAUlgE_4Yw7SWepVIltfja7xNEJEvPRByc7kiWmulgyXyf6Yj1jmkalVCu06ZJ928akl2_ojGF8o9NvHpo3GQoUT1oUp1pH19SP38OSpg7EzYTeCDsIHqvy20UIvStCbtJf20f98a9DV6xEbeoi0j_inY064YrOI78zXVKY/w480-h640/20240109_195136.jpg" title="Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken Casserole: This Tex-Mex chicken casserole has the bold flavors of green chiles and salsa verde; plus it's made in the slow cooker for a one pot comfort meal! - Slice of Southern" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b style="font-family: arial; font-size: xx-large;">What Ingredients do I need?</b></p><p><b style="font-family: arial; font-size: xx-large;"><br /></b></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">shredded chicken - (3 cups) buy a </span></span><span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">rotisserie chicken, use leftovers, poach your own, or make it in the instant pot like I did.</span></span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">cream cheese - I used Neufchatel cheese to reduce the fat and calories - block style</span></span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">salsa verde - 16 oz jar</span></span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">diced green chiles, mild, medium or hot depending upon your heat preference</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">yellow onion</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">cilantro - for garnish</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">garlic</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">cumin</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">tortilla chips</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">cheddar cheese - shredded</span></li></ul><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><b style="font-family: arial; font-size: xx-large;">Substitutions and Variations</b></p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /><b>Protein</b>: use shredded beef or pork for a different flavor<br /><br /><b>Add vegetables</b>: sliced bell pepper (any color) or poblano pepper would work well.

You <i>HAVE TO</i> make these scones! Really, they are the <b>BEST</b> scones I think I've made. They are really moist and light with the addition of sour cream, not too sweet, and have a texture that's not too crumbly. And then there's the flavor...so warm and cozy with spices like nutmeg and cinnamon. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Scones are a quickbread, a sweeter form of a Southern biscuit if you will. I've been making biscuits and scones with my Mom since I was a little girl. They are the perfect treat for a weekend breakfast or to enjoy with a cup of tea/coffee. Making scones really are easy to do. You can make them all in one bowl and either roll them out and cut circles, triangles, or just spoon drop the dough for a rustic texture. Don't be intimidated by them, as long as you are gentle with the dough they will come out beautifully. They do take a little extra time from start to finish so I like to make them on the weekend when I'm not rushing. Remember you can ask me any questions and I'll be here to held you get a beautiful tasty breakfast treat!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Enjoy! </span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0ELI28j5J-eUhs9U8F3uUXU96fuDr5Pqbluak5BjybhdFC8BSVbe-2LFGQwxAAg9ia7KLaAW-IXL_fTrN6ZKVzSQ6sguSNjCNSQs6Q47v734zIcjuJ-FtJ5x4-x0AIv9GGafjPilV-XHiIxgb077IVa4fOEmNX6LEj2RRl7xA-f65LbhPdnAEcrQWg4A/s4032/20240115_140102.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0ELI28j5J-eUhs9U8F3uUXU96fuDr5Pqbluak5BjybhdFC8BSVbe-2LFGQwxAAg9ia7KLaAW-IXL_fTrN6ZKVzSQ6sguSNjCNSQs6Q47v734zIcjuJ-FtJ5x4-x0AIv9GGafjPilV-XHiIxgb077IVa4fOEmNX6LEj2RRl7xA-f65LbhPdnAEcrQWg4A/w480-h640/20240115_140102.jpg" title="Wintertime is the best time to make my Eggnog Scones.

and losing their flaky & moist texture in the oven</span></li>

font-size: large;">In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and sugar. Grate your cold butter and add that to the bowl. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter you want to work the butter in to the flour just until small sizes of butter are dispersed throughout the flour. You don't want any of the butter to clump any larger than pea size. </span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">In a measuring cup measure out your eggnog, then add in an egg, the sour cream, and vanilla. Whisk together with a fork, and pour in to the flour mixture. Stir together until the dough is all moist. It will look shaggy. Use your hands to get the dough to come together. Turn the dough out on to a floured cutting board or surface. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">Press the dough in to a 1 inch thick circle. </span><span style="background-color: white;">Cut into 6 or 8 triangles and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet about 1-2 inches apart. Brush each scone with some eggnog and sprinkle on some sparkling sugar if using. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Remove from the oven and place on a wired rack to cool.

Cornbread has been a staple in my family since I was a child, and what better way to dress up this salad than to use cornbread instead of regular Italian bread. To make the cornbread hold up and not crumble everywhere in the salad I toasted it and made a sort of cornbread crouton which comes out crispy and stays intact in your salad. You can either use homemade or a store bought version that's already made. Make it easy on yourself! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The other part is to use good tomatoes. In the summer this isn't a problem but in winter I find that using cherry or grape tomatoes will give you the best flavor. So you can still have your winter Cornbread Panzanella Salad and eat it too!</span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3qlq4dWtmwU_HT9XvGBGZYKiWCWLQyqk2pVysHL2naujITTgIFcoU4jaDR6gqljco3WFQy4Ohq5LHw3AuXsbIMSi9OFchB8DtksvXE-_dp4QxurEuUQIKYQZ_J8l7oVJ_6NI77DlVvqhSoMc4Wg7V2denhDJD7zv5M_otYBkvNx15um5H1n0aWuswGfc/s4032/20230529_152922.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3qlq4dWtmwU_HT9XvGBGZYKiWCWLQyqk2pVysHL2naujITTgIFcoU4jaDR6gqljco3WFQy4Ohq5LHw3AuXsbIMSi9OFchB8DtksvXE-_dp4QxurEuUQIKYQZ_J8l7oVJ_6NI77DlVvqhSoMc4Wg7V2denhDJD7zv5M_otYBkvNx15um5H1n0aWuswGfc/w480-h640/20230529_152922.jpg" title="Cornbread Panzanella Salad is a Southern spin on an traditional Tuscan salad.

There is something comforting about having a hot muffins slathered in butter with your morning coffee, hot tea, or a glass of cold milk! I just love all the cozy feels it gives. Today we're making a classic, Banana Walnut Muffins. When I hear that name it reminds me of two places, a bakery that was next to my office that made the <i>best</i> muffins, and Costco's giant banana walnut muffins. This is a darn good muffin, but it is <i><b>simple </b></i>to pull together, and is made all in one bowl. (love that!)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The muffins come out moist and tender and are filled with earthy walnuts for crunch. A great combination that's hard to beat. This batch is a small batch of 6-8 muffins so it's a family friendly recipe. Get your drink of choice ready because hot muffins are on the menu!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Enjoy!</span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6qd77XeiMg0eYI9yofqH1bXoSZA5r_8i3obmwgrKOxOIEf0rGkO2E-N-yjsc49Y3R7ayDVzYOBeGD9F0fQc1pbhLaqWdlFH47cLGVrvGQUlZ_7X4znE5RF1ZT6CtmpGWmxhyR2dIjCjpk_qz-kGKHg9eF633gQPYukTKG9iM9pNVwBq9ptgq-WIAxHa4/s4032/20201228_120528.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6qd77XeiMg0eYI9yofqH1bXoSZA5r_8i3obmwgrKOxOIEf0rGkO2E-N-yjsc49Y3R7ayDVzYOBeGD9F0fQc1pbhLaqWdlFH47cLGVrvGQUlZ_7X4znE5RF1ZT6CtmpGWmxhyR2dIjCjpk_qz-kGKHg9eF633gQPYukTKG9iM9pNVwBq9ptgq-WIAxHa4/w480-h640/20201228_120528.jpg" title="Simple Banana Walnut Muffins are moist and full of spice and earthy walnuts.

Starting off the year with good intentions to eat healthy? That's always a goal of ours and I like to start off with a warm comforting soup. Pasta Fagioli is a one pot soup that can be completed in under 30 minutes. It is loaded with beans, pasta, and a thick tomato base. This particular version doesn't have any meat in it although you can add pancetta if you like. Serve it with some crusty bread and a salad for a complete meal.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The perfect comfy, cozy meal that healthy to boot! Make this soup on the stovetop or in the Instant Pot like I've done today. It will be one that the whole family will enjoy and you'll be coming back for more.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Enjoy!</span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVr9tbmpmMdDHAtRx3TIO6PyLEVZ2sXVZ4-vG8iTSoKLJeLfRwfuXsZ1QHZtiFLYp1kFUJMckG1s0p615FtNUhxNCO6p7eepthsQ92LSmNRzSJmf9Me62kOF_PnBb1e2yD1kAMnmOAdzJYqaMo3AwTNEV3sSHMCjeONlP5MkYNGX4tQqTHDaCZZVCAdw4/s4032/20240101_181601.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVr9tbmpmMdDHAtRx3TIO6PyLEVZ2sXVZ4-vG8iTSoKLJeLfRwfuXsZ1QHZtiFLYp1kFUJMckG1s0p615FtNUhxNCO6p7eepthsQ92LSmNRzSJmf9Me62kOF_PnBb1e2yD1kAMnmOAdzJYqaMo3AwTNEV3sSHMCjeONlP5MkYNGX4tQqTHDaCZZVCAdw4/w480-h640/20240101_181601.jpg" title="Let's start off the year right with a simple healthy Italian soup!

This made prep time go quickly. </span></span></p><p><span><span style="font-size: large;"><b style="font-family: inherit;">Stovetop directions: </b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span>Sauté<span style="font-family: inherit;"> the onion and carrots, then add the beans, broth, water, tomato sauce and spices. Bring to a boil and turn down to a simmer. Allow to cook for 15 minutes. Add in the pasta and cook 8-10 minutes then serve.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Instant Pot directions</b>: Add olive oil to an instant pot and turn on the sauté feature. When hot add the carrots and onions and sauté a few minutes until slightly softened. Add in all the rest of the ingredients including the pasta. <b>NOTE:</b> add the tomato sauce last and do not stir after adding to avoid any "burn" messages while cooking. Set the instant pot to cook 7-9 minutes then do a quick release and serve.</span></p><p><span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Another method is to cook the pasta separate from the soup and add some to a bowl and then add the soup over it. This keeps the pasta from absorbing all the soup broth as it sits in the soup. You can store any leftovers separately as well.</span></span></p><p><span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></p><p><b style="font-family: arial; font-size: xx-large;"><br /></b></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd0oEnwPvK8eeHVdT1GnZFBMJbzkhKKUJFGU6624DLUVKME9JrduiCW_zNSb5JQ8c8UwmuUQwL2kkjY1oE_SBjoT_Y2rVct1GbogVzoCUyoYkaGhvBMw6R9ATREZxt4IOmym5KfLDwArdtc_N6gM7wg4yzjSMgSn4WjNPU9jBirBCZNBhk70pwVmZkN38/s4032/20240101_181615.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd0oEnwPvK8eeHVdT1GnZFBMJbzkhKKUJFGU6624DLUVKME9JrduiCW_zNSb5JQ8c8UwmuUQwL2kkjY1oE_SBjoT_Y2rVct1GbogVzoCUyoYkaGhvBMw6R9ATREZxt4IOmym5KfLDwArdtc_N6gM7wg4yzjSMgSn4WjNPU9jBirBCZNBhk70pwVmZkN38/w480-h640/20240101_181615.jpg" title="Let's start off the year right with a simple healthy Italian soup!

This recipe features chicken that is cut into bite sized pieces, sprinkled with Cajun seasoning blend, and cooked quickly (think stir fry). Then we move on to cooking the succotash which is a blend of vegetables. It's popular in the South but my version has a more modern spin using corn, shelled edamame, cherry tomatoes, and green onions. The whole thing is then covered with a sauce that is luscious. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">You'll want to keep this dish in your rotation as it is a winner! I served it over some basmati rice, but it would also be great over mashed potatoes, or polenta, and of course it will stand on </span>its<span style="font-family: inherit;"> own as well.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;

Chicken Enchiladas are a favorite of ours but stuffing those tortillas takes extra time and on a weeknight I don't really want to bother. This casserole type enchiladas have all the flavors but really is an easier assembly. This would be <b>perfect for your Halloween dinner</b> or any weeknight meal this fall and winter.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">For this meal I use my trusty cast iron skillet. If you don't have one make sure to use and oven safe skillet and we will be starting this out on the stove and finishing it in the oven. All the goodies from gooey cheese, soft tortillas, chicken, salsa, seasonings, and a large dose of veggies are covered with enchilada sauce and all mixed together in the same skillet. It's heaven in a skillet! You can add a side or rice and beans, or a side salad, but this is so loaded with veggies that it's pretty much a meal on it's own.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Enjoy!</span></p><h2 class="comp mntl-sc-block eatingwell-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading" id="mntl-sc-block_2-0-19" style="box-sizing: border-box;

A favorite flavor combo right? Since strawberries and bananas can be bought almost year round let's use some late summer ones to create a bakery style (large!) muffin.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Good sized chunks of strawberries and bananas are dispersed throughout these muffins so you get a burst of flavor in every bite. These make a small batch of 6-8 depending on how much add-in you use and make the perfect weekend breakfast or grab and go during the week. There is nothing better than a hot muffin, so make these soon, and see below for great tips on making the perfect muffin.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Enjoy!</span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmSzHBGKZaSXqvfSumzA60lGyc9NaVl0G4nLtqiVPOYYioGMTWiWDHz_g_1ZuuiJNGCy_iJDUHNHW4PSMjslRJdpPItc5Ox99UEU-EWAfhp3HBzDTMdVoK59sf6tuu-qKfPnXZic49Oy3DIsM9jLDWUgRZeW-avcG2QxOHkcRHJq_rvFuFdaJbKKjEWGg/s4032/20231003_120936.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmSzHBGKZaSXqvfSumzA60lGyc9NaVl0G4nLtqiVPOYYioGMTWiWDHz_g_1ZuuiJNGCy_iJDUHNHW4PSMjslRJdpPItc5Ox99UEU-EWAfhp3HBzDTMdVoK59sf6tuu-qKfPnXZic49Oy3DIsM9jLDWUgRZeW-avcG2QxOHkcRHJq_rvFuFdaJbKKjEWGg/w480-h640/20231003_120936.jpg" title="My Bakery Style Strawberry Banana Chunk Muffins are exploding with your favorite flavor combo.

A couple of weeks ago I posted a recipe for my <a href="https://asliceofsouthern.blogspot.com/2023/09/flatbread-pizzas-with-corn-and.html" target="_blank">Flatbread Pizzas with Corn and Prosciutto</a> (<i>heaven!</i>) and today I'm sharing my Roasted Tomato and Spinach Flatbread Pizzas. This pizza uses Naan flatbread as the pizza bases which makes it quick and easy for you to make on a weeknight. I'm not sure about you but I don't have time or energy to make pizza dough from scratch on a weeknight, so Naan is a perfect substitute. They come out thin and crispy without all the fuss. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The star of this pizza is the use of roasted tomatoes instead of pizza sauce. Cherry tomatoes are cut in half and then tossed with fresh minced garlic and olive oil and roasted until they are bursting with juiciness. This becomes your topping and your substitute sauce.

To make pizza quickly and without all the fuss of making homemade dough or rolling out store bought dough I turn to flatbreads for the base. We have a great brand called Stonefire Authentic Flatbreads that I just love using for so many things. Usually I get one of their packages of Original Naan to make quick pizzas with but the grocery store was out of them and instead I found that they now make Artisan Thin Pizza Crust. They are very similar in texture to the Naan but have an 8" round pizza shape and come in a pack of 4. </span></p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEivLr2gPCYS5WSJFLixW4eWA63BXHVYM2JTUL-PFMLWhgpDhDVpDbXpADoIjNo4QwgjllKvXllRODPtW0FTy4kVISeVUkS3eQ8r4ZDZnds1wkHttTHCFRYGgxu-DpX2YnQmVDmsDVZrVZzSMK0Xp8454SJf-mJwTO7ACiBdF2pooFENNVN-u81GyrH7onM" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img data-original-height="580" data-original-width="624" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEivLr2gPCYS5WSJFLixW4eWA63BXHVYM2JTUL-PFMLWhgpDhDVpDbXpADoIjNo4QwgjllKvXllRODPtW0FTy4kVISeVUkS3eQ8r4ZDZnds1wkHttTHCFRYGgxu-DpX2YnQmVDmsDVZrVZzSMK0Xp8454SJf-mJwTO7ACiBdF2pooFENNVN-u81GyrH7onM=w320-h298" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">You can certainly choose any type of flatbread that you would like for this pizza, but this is a good choice as well. I decided to give our pizza a summer vibe since the weather is still hot around Los Angeles. Instead of a traditional pizza sauce base I went with a garlic oil and topped it with fresh corn kernels, mozzarella, and prosciutto that crisps up on the oven and gives you a salty bite. Once baked, I topped it with peppery arugula and fragrant basil and a douse of olive oil. I must say this is one of the BEST pizzas I've made. My husband certainly ate his portion and then some! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Try a light and fresh pizza that is bursting with flavor for your next pizza night.

But let's not forget about the side dish of sauteed carrots, mushrooms, zucchini, and onion. The are a so easy to make and are the perfect side dish to the chicken.

I like Roma tomatoes, which I core and seed. Persian cucumbers are short thin, and seedless, plus they have a thin skin so they don't need peeling. They are great to snack on and have a fresh flavor. If you can't find these then English or hothouse cucumbers would be your next choice. Use red onion, fresh mint, and some lemon juice if you like to provide a little acid. Everything should be diced really fine. To cut down on my knife work I used my <a href="https://a.co/d/8VDP7Ww" target="_blank">Mueller Multi Chopper</a>.
