Apple and Feta Pan Fried
Pizzas
6 ½ ounces dry pizza crust
mix
1/2 cup hot water
5 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces crumbled feta
cheese
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh
thyme
½ tablespoon butter
4 apples, cored and
chopped
ground black pepper to
taste
- In a medium bowl, combine
contents of the pizza dough package and 1/2 cup hot water. Stir vigorously,
about 25 strokes. Set the bowl in a warm place (about 85 degrees F, or 35
degrees C) for 5 minutes. Turn dough onto floured board, divide the dough into
8 small sections. Knead the dough and shape it into rounds.
- Preheat the oven to 300
degrees F (150 degrees C).
- In a large skillet, heat
the olive oil. Add the dough and fry until the dough is lightly browned,
flipping once to brown on both sides. Once cooked, place the circles on a
cookie sheet. Sprinkle the feta, red onion, and thyme on top of the circles.
- Bake the pizzas until the
feta begins to brown, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- While the pizzas bake, in
the previously used skillet, heat 1/2 tablespoon of butter and a few sprigs of
thyme. Mix the apples into the skillet, and cook until the apples are soft and
golden. Lay the apples on top of the pizzas, season with pepper, and serve.
Mini Apple Crisps

Crumble:

½ cup flour
½ cup brown sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
For the Cinnamon Apples:
3 medium apples
¼ cup butter

whipped cream, ice cream,
or vanilla yogurt for serving
- To prepare the oatmeal
crumble, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a large bowl. Pour the butter
over the mixture and stir until well combined.
- Spread the mixture onto a

- Allow to cool before
using.
- To make the apples, peel
and dice the apples into bite sized pieces.
- Add the apples, butter,
brown sugar, and cinnamon to a medium skillet and cook, stirring often to coat
the apples in the sauce, for 5 minutes over medium low heat.
- Remove from heat and cool
a bit before assembling the dessert.
- Add a generous layer of
oatmeal crumble to the bottom of each dish (2-3 tablespoons) and top with the
cinnamon apples.

Spinach Pasta with Roasted
Broccoli & Bell Pepper
Roasted vegetables
1 large bunch of broccoli,
florets removed and sliced into bite-sized pieces
1 red bell pepper, sliced into 1-inch
squares
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt
Spinach pasta
8 ounces whole wheat linguine or spaghetti
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot bulb, sliced very thin (about ½
cup, sliced)
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
12 ounces baby spinach
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
Optional: 1 ounce finely
grated Parmesan cheese* (about ¾ cup, grated), plus extra for garnishing
Freshly ground black
pepper, to taste
- To prepare the roasted
vegetables: Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large, rimmed baking
sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Transfer the sliced broccoli
florets and bell pepper to the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon
olive oil and toss until the vegetables are lightly coated in oil (add a little
more olive oil if necessary). Sprinkle with salt, arrange the vegetables in an
even layer and bake until the broccoli is tender and caramelized on the edges,
tossing halfway, about 25 minutes.
- Once the vegetables are in
the oven, bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the pasta just until
al dente, according to package directions. Before draining, carefully reserve about
1 cup of the pasta water. Drain and return the pasta to the pot.
- To prepare the balsamic
spinach, in a large Dutch oven (my 5.5-quart Le Creuset is perfect here) or
large sauté pan over medium heat, warm 2 tablespoons olive oil until
shimmering. Add the sliced shallot, ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon red pepper
flakes. Cook, stirring frequently, until the shallot is translucent, about 3 to
5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about
20 seconds. While stirring constantly, add several big handfuls of spinach at a
time until they have wilted, then repeat until all of the spinach is in the
pot. Once the spinach has reduced a bit but is still bright green in parts
(this happens quickly!), pour in the balsamic vinegar and remove the pot from
heat.
- In your Dutch oven or in a
large serving bowl, combine the roasted vegetables and cooked pasta with the
spinach mixture. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
and optional Parmesan. Drizzle in about ⅓ cup reserved pasta cooking water and
gently toss to coat. Season to taste with additional salt (mine needed about ½
teaspoon more) and freshly ground black pepper. Divide into bowls and serve
immediately, with extra grated Parmesan on top for bonus presentation points.

Turkey Meatloaf with Fennel & Bacon
2 Tbs. plus 1 tsp. canola
or olive oil
1 medium yellow onion,
chopped
1 cup small-diced fennel
2 large cloves garlic,
finely chopped
¾ cup dry white wine
4 oz. medium-coarse white
bread, such as Italian or French, cut into 2-inch pieces (about 2-1/2 cups)
1 cup whole milk
2 lb. ground turkey (not
100% breast meat)
2 large eggs
1/3 cup sliced scallions
2 tsp. coarsely chopped
fennel seeds
½ tsp. crushed red pepper
flakes
1 Tbs. Worcestershire
sauce
Kosher Salt
Freshly ground black
pepper
10 oz. sliced bacon (about
9 strips)
- Heat 2 Tbs. of the oil in
a 10- to 12-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the onion, fennel, and
garlic, stirring frequently, until softened and just beginning to brown, 6 to 8
minutes.
- Add the white wine, and
simmer briskly, until almost dry, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and
let cool until warm.
- In a shallow dish that
holds it in a single layer, soak the bread in the milk, flipping once, until
soggy but not falling apart, 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the coarseness and
freshness of the bread. Lightly squeeze a handful of bread at a time to remove
some of the milk (it should be wet but not drenched). Finely chop and add to
the bowl with the vegetable mixture.
- Position a rack in the
center of the oven and heat the oven to 375°F.
- Add the turkey and eggs to
the onion mixture. Scatter the scallions, fennel seeds, and red pepper flakes
over the meat, and then sprinkle with the Worcestershire, 2-1/4 tsp. salt, and
1/2 tsp. pepper. Use your hands to gently mix all the ingredients until just
combined; try not to compact the mixture as you do this.
- Heat the remaining 1 tsp.
of oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Form 1 Tbs. of the meatloaf
mixture into a small patty. When the oil is hot, cook the patty on both sides
until cooked through, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and let cool
slightly. Taste and adjust the salt, pepper, and other seasonings as needed.
Repeat until you're satisfied with the flavor.
- Line a 9x13-inch baking
pan with parchment. Transfer the meatloaf mixture to the baking pan and form
into a 10x4-inch rectangular block (it becomes loaf-shaped as it cooks). Finish
the meatloaf by draping it with slightly overlapping strips of bacon, tucking
the ends under the loaf.
- Bake until an instant-read
thermometer registers 165°F in the center of the meatloaf, 40 to 55 minutes.
- Broil the meatloaf about 6
inches from the broiler element until the bacon is brown and crisped, about 3
minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board or serving
platter with a large spatula and cut into 3/4- to 1-inch-thick slices.
