Roberta’s Frozen Pizza, the Famous Original - With Broccoli Rabe

Image
Frozen pizza isn’t what it used to be. Like waist packs for the festival circuit, they’ve gone hipster, posh and luxe.   Encountered the Roberta’s Frozen Pizza line on sale at Whole Foods.   My choice, around $10.41, the Famous Original, is topped with tomato, mozzarella, parmigiano, caciocavello, oregano and chili flakes. Handcrafted wood fired frozen pizza from a collective of friends in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Sourdough crust.   You can’t get more hipster than that. Especially with my addition.   I had made a big batch of broccoli rabe the night before, trimmed, steamed, spiced and sauteed in olive oil, the perfect healthy topping for this pizza. And topping one of my favorite lists (besides the S&P), the ANDI: “The Aggregate Nutrient Density Index (ANDI) list, ranks foods from 1 to 1,000 based on their micronutrient content per calorie (H=N/C). Top-tier foods include mustard greens, kale, and watercress.” What’s more, the broccoli rabe was relatively af...

Solar Power: Outdoor Waterproof Solar Lanterns

Image
My first foray into solar…worked!   Overdone, overwrought string lights are not for me. I tried these neat, nifty solar lanterns instead. Out of the box, turn them on in the sun, turn them off, then on at night. Good to be here during the day, following the light, because the sun rotates around my backyard, re-positioning them is beneficial.   Easy with handy hooks all around my bamboo outdoor walls and back wall: https://amzn.to/453K3Qt We’ll see about durability.   Right now, it’s 💖.   This small project makes me just so much more ambitious with solar than these lanterns.   Solar Lanterns Outdoor Waterproof: 2 Pack Hanging Solar Lights for Outside Patio Porch Garden Tabletop Decor - Bright LED Warm White Solar Powered Lighting - Unique Gardening Gifts for Mom: https://amzn.to/4w1ulQE

Healthy Vidalia Onion Dip

Image
Blogger Healthy Vidalia Onion Dip Who doesn’t love onion dip, a favorite American classic that belongs to everyone?  We grew up with it.  Here’s a sweet‑savory Vidalia-onion-forward dip with fresh ingredients. Vidalia onions peak April–August, a short season, when their signature sweetness is at its highest thanks to the low‑sulfur Georgia soil. This is the moment when they caramelize best. The more you know:  The Vidalia name is legally protected and the onions are only grown in 20 Georgia counties. With these versions, you can count on fresh caramelized Vidalias and simple ingredients — no preservatives, nothing engineered.   Royalty Free Image. Base Version with Greek Yogurt 2 large Vidalia onions, thinly sliced 2–3 tbsp olive oil ½ tsp salt 1 container Fage 2% Greek yogurt or equivalent Method Slowly caramelize onions in olive oil and salt until deep gold and jammy (20–25 minutes during peak season; off‑season ca...
