Long time, no see!

I’ve been doing this myself a lot lately because the short daylight hours make me want to sleep all day. I think the cats have it right.

It’s been a while! I could lecture myself on time management, motivation, etc. But I could also use excuses like “end of year is busy” and “I was working on setting up my new site.” As you’ve noticed, Modern Domestica is now its own domain woohoo! Thanks to my husband who is good at purchasing sites and managing my technological affairs.

Since it’s been busy, I’m doing another post on a good quick meal which still feels semi-healthy and gourmet. Pizza is, like, seriously the best food invention. Throw anything on bread and bake it and it’s going to be awesome, unless of course you throw some rotten vegetables on moldy bread. But who knows, maybe you’re into that kind of gourmet (blue cheese is, after all, covered in mold).

But I digress. Here is a recipe for a bruschetta-like pizza that I got from my mom, who cleverly thought of it herself.

Ingredients

Sliced Italian bread (ideally the big round loaf that makes long narrow slices)

Sundried tomato bruschetta or paste

Onion, julienned

Capers (if you are like my husband, these are definitely optional and most definitely not appreciated)

I know the white stuff looks suspiciously like mold but it’s most likely flour.

Sautee onions in a little bit of olive oil until they become transparent and set aside. Spead the Sundried tomato paste or bruschetta on the bread slices, then place onions and capers on top. You can also add cheese if you’d like, but it’s perfectly good without it. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 mins.

This is awesome because you can substitute and experiment with different options like using basil pesto instead of sundried tomato pesto. If you add a salad, it becomes a meal.

Stay warm out there! And Happy Holidays!
