Instructions

Don't really have a recipe for anything! Its just stuff I like to eat!

    Flatbreads pizzas

    • We used naan we just got at the farmer's market, grilled them quickly and placed slices of fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, grilled peach slices on them and back on the grill to melt the cheese. You could use brie or really any cheese you want. We topped them with fresh arugula that we dressed with a bit of lemon juice and olive oil. Sprinkle of pepper. DUNZO EASY

    Melon Salad we don't bother with the skewers we just throw it all in a bowl.

    • Cantalopes have been sweet! Cut melon into bite sized pizza and place on platter or bowl. Add small fresh mozarella balls and prosciutto that has been shredded into bite sized shreds.
    • Make the basil oil by combining the shallot, basil and olive oil in a processor. Process until basil and shallot is minced.
    • Drizzle oil on melon and cheese. Sprinkle on some coarse salt and cracked fresh pepper. Another DUNZO.
