Super Simple Rosemary Potato Naan Bread Pizza

Red Onion Rosemary Potato Naan Bread Pizza
Last Thursday, the southeast side of Michigan got hit with a particularly nasty storm leaving somewhere in the range of 100,000 people without power. I was one of those people. My mother was coming down for a quick visit to eat dinner and give me her cat to watch over for 2 weeks. My plan was to try out making Rosemary Potato Pizzas on Naan bread after Anne Marie and I had discussed what a wonderful pairing we thought this would make. By the time my mother arrived, the storm was in full effect, I had no power, and I was starting to think it might be a good night to get take-out. But I decided I wasn't going to let a little thing like not having power stop me from cooking. Luckily, I have a gas stove otherwise none of this would have been possible.

Weekend Tryouts: Cranberry Wasabi Trail Mix


 Trying a new recipe can sometimes be time-consuming, especially when working with unusual or unfamiliar ingredients. Most work weeks don’t leave me with lots of extra time to spend trying out new recipes so I end up just falling back on reliable classics. On the weekends, I usually make it a point to try at least one new recipe. I have more recipes than I know what to do with bookmarked online or in one of the many wonderful recipe books I have collected. My goal is to at some point try out every recipe I mark. Sometimes I follow the recipe by the letter, other times I simply use it as a basic guideline and make my own variation.

Inspired by this weekend activity, I’m introducing a new section on The Awesome Vegetarian called Weekend Tryouts. I will share a recipe with you that intrigued me. I’ll tell you any variations or adjustments that I made to it. Most importantly though, I’ll tell you if it was any good!
