Spinach Pizza

This is so good...I don't really have a recipe for this, so I'll just explain what I do. Take a pre-baked pizza crust and spread with ricotta cheese. In the meantime, take some fresh spinach and chopped garlic and cook in a little olive oil until wilted; drain any liquid off spinach. Now spread the spinach on top of ricotta cheese. Top that with sliced red onions and pizza cheese and/or parmesan. Bake until hot and slightly browned around the edges. (I think I bake in a 425 degree oven).

A Word On Radishes...

Have you ever cooked radishes? I had never thought of this before, but recently tried it and they were really good! I sliced some thinly, and sauteed for 4-5 minutes in some butter and seasoned to taste with salt and pepper. The hotness totally cooked out and they were actually kind of sweet. Had a taste similar to cooked cabbage. I also recently read that someone cooks them in a foil packet on the grill, but I have not tried that.

Chive Garlic Bread

1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons snipped chives
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (1 pound) loaf French bread, cut into 1 inch slices

In a bowl, combine the butter, Parmesan cheese, chives and garlic. Spread on one side of each slice of bread; wrap in a large piece of heavy-duty foil. Seal the edges. Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until heated through.

Baby Spinach Omelet

2 eggs
1 cup torn baby spinach leaves
1 1/2 tbsp. grated parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
salt and pepper to taste

In a small bowl, beat eggs and stir in the baby spinach and cheese. Season with onion powder, nutmeg, and salt and pepper.
In a small skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat, cook egg mixture about 3 minutes, until partially set. Flip with spatula, and continue cooking 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and continue cooking 2-3 minutes, or to desired doneness.
