Back by popular demand, a frequent family request, here is another pizza on my menu for Father’s Day Simple Summer Dinner with delicious edits in flavor and texture. I used store bought pizza dough for the crust as I find it more savory and nutty in flavor. Brushing the dough with artSAVOR 70 makes it tangier and more citrusy with its lime ingredient. The frisée with its bitterness, dressed in an artSAVOR 75 vinaigrette contrasts with the sweet roasted tomatoes. All of this together creates complex layers of delicious flavors and textures.

I truly never do what I am about to tell you to do with this recipe! However, in this case the results were rewarding and over the top.
I know that for certain recipes, like Bread Pudding and French Toast, stale bread is required and that is how I prepare those recipes.

Crispy, flaky, cheesy deliciousness! It will disappear faster than the blink of an eye!

Every bite of Nachos should have chip, cheese and everything else that is on it. It should be a total satisfaction and experience loaded with layers of flavor. After so many disappointments, I decided to make my own, which also makes it a great substitute for Pizza when I have guests who are gluten intolerant. It is one of my name dishes and loved by whoever who has had them. Get creative with me and create your own!
Read MoreChallenging myself to constantly to create recipes that don’t adhere to traditions is a great source of joy and freedom. I am not a good follower.
