Sweet Onion Pizza

Hi There
I'm back from traveling to Russia and Tennessee and I'm glad to be back in my kitchen.  There's something very comforting to me about creating food for my family to enjoy.  Cooking is my therapy.  It relaxes me and pulls me away from all the problems of this world. 
Today's post is a very easy, but wonderfully delicious pizza.  We can even cheat and use store bought pizza crust.  If you try this, I guarantee it will be one of your "go to" recipes for company or a quick weeknight meal. 

1 Boboli store bought thin pizza crust
1 tablespoon butter (more if your not concerned about butter intake!)
2 large onions, sliced
salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary (optional)
2 level tablespoons brown sugar
Shredded mozzarella (as much as you like)


Heat your oven to 375 degrees.  In a saute pan, melt the butter.  Add the sliced onions, salt and pepper to taste.  Saute the onions until soft.  No need to carmalize them.  Add the rosemary and saute another 3 to 4 minutes.  Turn off the heat and add the brown sugar. Stir until the sugar melts.  With a slotted spoon, remove the onions from the pan and place on top of the pizza crust.  Top with mozzarella and bake directly on the grate of the oven.  This will allow the crust to crisp on the bottom also.  Bake for about 20 minutes but watch to make sure the mozzarella doesn't brown too much.  Each oven is different, so yours may require less time.  The picture below is what mine looked like the last time I made it.  I think I left it in the oven a few minutes too long.  I like the cheese a bit less brown.  But, it still tasted delicious.  I really hope you try this one.  I promise it won't disappoint!!



Enjoy!!
Love,
Beth

No Russian recipes

Hi
I spend the past two weeks in Russia.  It was a wonderful experience.  People were friendly and Moscow is a very impressive city.  Prior to leaving I was hoping that I'd have some really neat Russian recipes to share with you when I returned.  Well, that didn't happen.  The one thing I wasn't impressed with was the food.  Russian's eat a lot of meat, and I'm not a meat lover.  They also eat a lot of fish, which I like, but I like to identify it prior to eating it!!  Needless to say, I wasn't very daring when I was choosing my meals.  I stuff with the "American" food on the menu. 

So I'm home and ready to start cooking farmiliar food once again.  Stay tuned.  I'll post some new recipes this week.

Love,
Beth
