Today I accidentally made a very tasty meal. It started with me wanting some french bread pizza. I only had a baguette, cheese, and pepperoni. No sauce. Dang, I hate it when that happens. So, I tried to make some.
1/4 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 can tomatoes, smashed (diced probably would have worked pretty good too)
1 tsp oregano
1 tablespoon pesto
salt and pepper
Directions:
I sauted the onion and garlic in about a tablespoon of olive oil. Next, I added the tomatoes and oregano. After that mixture cooked for about five or ten minutes, I blended it in my Magic Bullet (Yes I have one and it is absolutely amazing). I left some chuncks in it but not many. Then it needed something more. Abraham had made some pesto the other day that smelled good so I added that too. Made all the difference. Salt and Pepper to taste.
Next, I sliced my baguette into portion sizes. I put a good amount on each piece, then a little bit of cheese, some pepperoni, and a little more cheese. Put in 400 degree oven for 15 minutes.
After getting the pizza all going, I really wanted some tomato soup. It was a very rainy day and it just seemed like it may complete the day for me. All I had was canned soup. Not very exciting and not really something I enjoy. Sooooo, after preparing the soup as it says on the can (soup plus one can of water), I added about a tablespoon of Pesto. Didn't help. Then I had a fabulous idea. I had about of cup of pizza sauce left so I decided to dump it into the soup too. AMAZING! I wasn't sure anyone else would like it (Abraham tends to not enjoy homemade tomato soup...well, at least mine). PJ asked for a taste and loved it. She ate an entire bowl. Abraham ate all of his. I ate mine probably the fastest. AND, even Asher loved it (finally some veggies into that boy).
I love it when delicious accidents happen.
