Dinner tonight

Prep
Tonight I wanted to make something nice for Adam and my weekly Date Night. I didn't feel like paying to go somewhere. I really wanted to go all out and cook something.

I guess I was inspired after going to a local farmer's market on the far south side of Fresno to get a free huge bag of citrus fruits. I made the guilt purchase of a few cheap, great looking tomatoes. Then thought of a recipe I saw in the Pampered Chef catalogue I was reading earlier.

I then made my way over to Save Mart supermarket near our apartment to get the main dish. I found the Stouffer's skillet meals on sale and decided on grilled chicken and veggies.

Then I went to WinCo and got the last ingredients I needed. I was on a mission. I knew exactly where to find the WinCo pre-made pizza dough and mozzerella cheese I wanted. Almost forgot fresh basil!


Down to Business
I sliced the tomatoes and sprinkled with salt and olive oil (E-V-O-O). I cut in halves and then set them aside to marinate for a few minutes.

I kneaded some basil into the pizza dough then spread it out flat on my new Pampered Chef baking stone. Thanks Mama!

I grated some mozzerella onto the dough and topped with the tomatoes, grated parmasean (Kraft) and a bit more basil for color. Then bake.

Then the main dish was easy. Cut out contents of the bag into a large pan and heat.

IT WAS DELICIOUS!


What the hell am I supposed to do for Valentine's Day? I try to do stuff like this as much as I can.
