The Celery, radish and herb salad was refreshing and delicious. Of course it was easy to make and took less than 30 minutes - much less. I've been really impressed with Ellie's salad recipes. Buying salad dressing at the stores is definitely not the way to go! Awesome - loved by all!
The Asparagus and mozzarella pizza rocked. My teenager thought it was a bit bland but good. Julie and I totally enjoyed the roasted asparagus nestled in two different kinds of cheeses. We also loved the hearty/earthy whole-wheat dough for the pie. Turned out great and was delicious. There is no real confusion with the recipe. Just remember when it tells you to "brush it with oil" she is talking about the asparagus tips, not the whole pie. Anyway, the thing was great / awesome / wonderful and we are pretty big home-made pizza snobs!
And finally, dessert. We were pretty full at this point but I promised a dessert would be part of tonight's blog so we made it anyway. Super glad we did too! What's not to like about baked pears, fresh nutmeg and fresh ground cinnamon, toasted pecans and brie? It was a superstar combination in our view. Really good - will serve for company any time.
Ellie Krieger - you cook and create as beautifully as you look! Thanks.
Agree it was a perfect meal. My favorite part was probably the refreshing salad!
