Thin Crust Alfredo Pizza with Bacon and Kale

January 8, 2017 by Vanessa Leave a Comment

Restaurant pizza is yummy. But homemade just-the-way-you-like-it pizza is far more delicious even decadent especially when it’s topped with bacon.

I live with a native New Yorker so you can bet we eat a lot of pizza. We’ve made homemade crust and purchased a case of Sam’s frozen pizza crust. No matter how you slice it, preparing homemade pizza crust is labor intensive and messy. By the time the pizza was on the plate, we were exhausted and the kitchen was a flour-covered mess that we didn’t want to clean. Then, I discovered Mama Mary’s oven-ready crust! My Thin Crust Alfredo Pizza with Bacon and Kale doesn’t take more than 30 minutes to prepare.

You can find oven-ready pizza crust in medium to large sizes in your grocery store next to store bought sauces and near ethnic foods. A lover of white garlic pizza, I created my version of Granite City’s bacon flatbread pizza. Topped with Alfredo sauce, crumbled pork-bacon sausage, thinly sliced red onion, finely chopped kale, sliced mushrooms, shredded mozzarella, and crumbled blue cheese, my homemade pizza took minutes to prepare and less than 10 minutes to bake. Now that’s decadent!

Since the New Year, I’ve taken the time to prep my vegetables and recipes starters during the weekend so I’m ready for the work week. This dedicated time in the kitchen has helped me so much! I don’t throw out half-rotten produce and I’m preparing more flavorful, healthier meals. My energy level during the day has improved because my intake of nutrients and fiber comes from prepared lunches stocked with fruits and vegetables. So, this pizza was easy to get on the table because I already washed and sliced my produce.

Tip: After slicing the red onions, place them in a bowl with water for at least 30 minutes and then drain. This reduces the robust raw onion taste that can overpower other pizza flavors. I do this in advance and store my onions in the refrigerator for later use.

Grilled Greek Pizza

June 24, 2016 by Vanessa Leave a Comment

I think it’s great that in Greek culture a common saying is “Να ζήσεις,” which means “may you live well.” I completely agree.

How is that Greeks look so at ease and happy all day long? (Oh, and that tan, olive colored skin!) They live to eat and socialize while doing it. They also appreciate quality seasonal ingredients such as fragrant herbs like parsley, oregano, and dill.

Grilled Greek Pizza is a no fuss recipe and it is packed with vegetables and Mediterranean flavor. I cheated and used a bottle Tzatziki sauce, made with creamy greek yogurt, in an effort to save time. Honestly, it was still delicious. We grilled our pizzas in our newly purchased Traeger giving them a slightly smoked flavor.

Bring on the ouzo! Grilled Greek Pizza is layered in fresh flavors reminiscent of the Mediterranean and is a lighter substitute for dinner.

Turn on the patio cafe lights and create your own ambience while enjoying a slice with a fresh squeeze of lemon (or drizzle olive oil) on each slice. Now, where’s the ouzo? “Stin iyia mas!” (Greek for “to your health.”)
