I am a foodie. I love different flavors, so when my husband arrived to the United States, I was excited to share with him all the flavors of California. He didn't like my food at first. I tried recipe after recipe for him, and night after night the response was mediocre at best. I soon tired of cooking food that went to waste because he didn't like it. I stopped cooking and I love to cook. But cooking is no fun when there isn't any enjoyment when it is eaten. After about 3 years of marriage, he began to experiment with food. He started trying different items and became willing to eat things he had never eaten. AND, he started to like food. Yay- and with that, I started to cook again. Now, he always asks me, "When did you learn to cook?" As if this is a new thing for me. My answer- "It isn't when did I learn to cook, it is when did you learn to eat?" This blog is a collection of recipes that I have created. I make new things all the time, but I don't write anything down and then I either forget that I made it, or I forget how to make it. I don't know if anyone is out there that will read this- but if you do, I hope you enjoy trying my recipes. Buen Provecho!

White Pizza with Sun Dried Tomatoes

Left Over Cream Sauce, and left over chicken... What do I do with that?
Another surprise. I took a bite of the completed pizza to taste (a good chef never serves without tasting) with no intention of eating the whole thing. But I couldn't stop myself. It was so good!
You will need
Pizza dough
Olive oil may be needed for the crust
Shredded Mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese and/or Romano cheese are optional
Bleu Cheese Cream Sauce (see recipe below)
Chicken- cut up into bite size pieces
Sun Dried Tomatoes
Spinach, Fresh Tomato, and Fresh Basil leaves are optional

I used pre-made pizza crusts and brushed them with olive oil (as instructed by the pizza crust instructions), but obviously if you have a favorite pizza dough- you can use your own.
Spread the white sauce over the dough generously. By having had it in the refrigerator overnight it was perfectly thickened.
With the following ingredients, use as much as you like
Add Mozzarella cheese
Add bite size pieces of chicken
Add sun dried tomatoes
Add parmesan cheese if desired
Add any other toppings if desired
Bake according to the directions for the crust. Be careful with the sun dried tomatoes, if the oven is to hot they will char on the edge (which I like).
