Having made a different type of flatbread in my family, preparing naan was totally new to me and I was skeptical of how it would turn out...
In the end, I had nothing to fear as my naan cooked perfectly and was great with my Chicken Tikka!

I also have a recipe for my first attempt to make Naan.
The spices used can be found in large supermarkets as well as specialty Indian/Pakistani stores.

I especially enjoy greek yogurt with either strawberries and blueberries, or nuts and honey (for an added bonus, with a few drops of vanilla extract).

With a pizza stone, it always comes out nice and crisp, but even without a stone, it's delicious, hot and fresh! The fastest and easiest way to make a pizza at home - buy the dough at your local supermarket (most markets have a deli/catering area - all you need to do is ask) or your local favorite pizza eatery. These places are TastyMealsForTwohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08876658377816870457noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4951852673479664458.post-32970602804355316452011-08-05T22:34:00.000-04:002011-08-05T22:34:28.927-04:00Caprese SaladFinally posting for the first time. With ripe delicious tomatoes and fresh basil, this is a perfect summer salad. I've made this a simple and savory variation from the traditional Caprese of tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella. This is perfect for a single lunch serving or as a salad to share for two before a meal. Enjoy!
