I'd like to say 'yes' to that question, but I don't know for sure. If it can wait till I get settled I can try to handle that, weekly. Right now, I can barely focus on just typing.

Ok I'll give it a shot. I will include the recipe link or a description with the pics. Sometimes things are so simple no recipe is needed. Like the saying goes a picture is worth a thousand words. LOL

I made a roasted tomato pizza - used an armenian bread that was topped with black and white sesame seeds. Then I spread pesto on top of that, fat free mozzarella, sauteed mushrooms (in the one pot I still have unpacked) and roasted Ugly Ripe tomatoes. I roasted them first so they would be a bit drier on top of the bread.

Thanks Dee! It's a lot like a biscuit dough so it's very easy to make, with very little kneading and tastes wonderful.

Look at that bread! And that stuffed tomato is wonderful!

Here's the bacon you asked for, Mama.

I told you we're living on BLT's right now, so I'm posting a pic.
