filling. It's kind of like an outside in pizza.

(which are so convenient). no knead rustic dinner rolls, and

This roasted pear, Parmesan, and spiced pecan salad is so refreshing, and it was the perfect dinner this weekend when I wanted something light. It's a tasty combination of sweet pears, salty cheese, peppery arugula, and spicy pecans.

with juice when we sliced into them. In addition, I found some authentic
Parmigiano Reggiano yesterday that I couldn't resist.
