Lobster Pizza

It's Monday night, and there's a container of lobster meat in the fridge. A shelf below that, there's some Fairway pre-made pizza dough. What to do what to do...MAKE LOBSTER PIZZA!!! Duh.

But wait, what is lobster pizza? I didn't know, but was eager to find out/make it up. Thanks to the magic of Google, I found that I was not the first to make lobster pizza, and took bits and pieces from a few of the recipes that I found based on the ingredients that I had.
Oil the pizza pan with some salt & pepper
Attempt to roll out the dough on the pan (not the best idea) - spread butter all around and sprinkle with garlic powder
Top with Parmesan & mozzarella cheese, diced tomatoes, shallots, lobster pieces & black pepper
Then add MOAR CHEESE!!! Cheddar cheese and green scallions
After about 20 min of baking at 400 degrees - looking good!

After an additional 10 minutes...
ZOMG
Perfection on a Monday night

What better way to spend a Monday night but with some surprisingly awesome pizza and a glass (or maybe all the glasses) of wine?

Lazy Sunday

While I was out and about today, last Sunday was a perfect lazy Sunday, where I did nothing but lounge around the apartment, watch Netflix and make some easy brunch and dinner.

When I finally rolled out of bed and made my way to the kitchen, I decided to finally use up the egg whites leftover from making ice cream at my last dinner party (post to follow...eventually). I feel like I'm always looking for easy recipes that use up leftover egg whites since egg yolks always seem to be the more favored child.

So I felt like I found the perfect use for it with this mini egg white frittatas recipe - where I don't need to keep track of exactly how many eggs whites I actually have, and the other ingredients can be manipulated to anything I want them to be! This time I used spinach, red onions and cheddar cheese.

Brunch is served!
Maybe the most productive thing that I did all day after eating was start posting on this blog again - with the stuffed baguette post, which I also ate the rest of along with the frittatas.

Then all of a sudden, my stomach was telling me that it was dinner time!

Seriously one of the best things that I have discovered this year other than the fact that Fairway Markets opened up another store closer to home, was that said Fairway Market also sells pizza dough! So I threw together some of the things we had in the fridge for Sunday pizza night - spinach, red onion, button mushrooms, tomato & mozzarella cheese on top of garlic & herb pizza dough.

All in all, one of the best Sundays that I have had - I think this is me finally learning how to relax properly! And it is AWESOME.
