PIZZA ITALIAN STYLE FOR A SATURDAY NIGHT

Real Italian pizza can include anything. Tonight I am making 2 pizzas one with swiss chard from the garden and the other with zucchini slices. Healthy-yes? Buy some pizza dough from an Italian place like Grande Cheese locally. There are many recipes for making your dough if you want! Spreading it on a greased pizza pan or cookie sheet works before putting the ingredients on the dough! Watching my weight lately, fresh veggies are good! Barb will take some pictures I am sure. Saturday night with pizza and salad  is a good meal. Barb likes a glass of wine with her meal!

MY CANADIAN VEGETABLE GARDEN-GIARDINO ITALIANO

Good meals come from good fresh food. Italians always use the vegetables and fruit in season to make their meals. I have been busy- digging then planting my summer vegetable garden. So I am Italian and need tomatoes. I planted several different kinds. Lettuce, beans, eggplant, cucumbers and swiss chard are some of the other vegetables in my little plot. My herbs- oregano, rosemary,basil and parsley are in my little pots. Over the next few months I will share my summer recipes with you. It will be fun showing you the fresh vegetable then the dish it will become. For today, I want to rest my sore old muscles from all the gardening activity. Maybe a nap or two! Il bello giardino! Troppo lavoro! Sono stanco!
