NikitaThis week, I asked everyone to make a dish that was prepared by another person in our Saturday Bites group, and I can't stop thinking about the Rosa Parks peanut butter pancakes. We don't use peanut butter much because Christopher is allergic, but he's fast asleep in his bed. So Matt and I get a nice, quiet breakfast this morning. I simply love the smell of the batter! No bananas in my house to throw on top, so we used real maple syrup - not that sugary fake pancake syrup. They were light and fluffy just as promised. I'll probably add choco-chips to them next time. 😊 Love, 99 GeorgiaNikita's choice this week was for us to make a recipe posted by another Saturday Bite user. So I decided to revisit Nikita's naan pizza. We have the husbands family over at least once a week for dinner and I had been talking about having a "make your own pizza" night.. Well Naan is perfect for individual pizzas. Everyone made their own. Well they added the toppings of their choice. Once they completed their fabulous pizza creation I slid them on the grill to finish them up. How to make your very own Naan grilled pizza Naan (flatbread) Pizza sauce (Buy or make) Cheese (The more the merrier) Pizza toppings (Have fun) Brush olive oil on the back side of naan (grill side) Heat your grill on high. Slide your pizza onto the grill. Close top and grill for 2 to 3 minutes. Very important to pay attention. You don't want to burn your bottom. This was the first time grilling my pizza and it got rave reviews. The husband who compliments very few things said several times that he REALLY liked it and thought we should do this again.. So Nikita's Naan pizza idea was fabulous.. Grilling kicked it up a couple of notches.. Amy I like this challenge. What better way to compliment one another then by trying a dish from the challenge itself? I could have prepared an amazing 5 course meal based on many of the dishes on this blog! Alas, we are only doing one. The triple digit heat is still in full swing so I went with a recent challenge. Salad. Quick and easy. I was intrigued by Gigi's quinoa salad. So I made it with a slight twist. Gigi's Quinoa Salad 2.0 Quinoa Red onion Fresh basil Fresh lemon juice and freshly grated peel Flax seed oil Balsamic vinegar Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste Cook the quinoa according to package directions. As the quinoa is cooking, whisk together the lemon juice, grated lemon, flax seed oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Chop up the onion, tear basil into bite-size pieces. Allow the quinoa to cool and mix all ingredients in a bowl. I scooped the quinoa and threw it on top of a bed of greens. A satisfying and filling lunch. Nikita's choice this week was to make a dish from a previous post. Something one of the others made. Because she likes to see what we all do with the same dish. With the exception of myself, the others have no idea what we prepared until I post it. So.. It's interesting how we manage to not duplicate. Nikita made Amy's, I made Nikita's and Amy made mine. Simpatico Love these ladies and how they are all dedicated to making meals for their loved ones. Serving up love.. One dish at a time.. Georgia
