Cheesy Garlic Herb Sticks

I saw these on pinterest. I worked at a pizza place growing up and have a big place in my heart for breadstick and anything with cheese on it. I was in a hurry so I used the trader joe's garlic herb dough ($1.29). Instead of the dough recipe that was on pinterest (see link).

Ingredients:

1 Trader Joe's garlic herb pizza dough (next to the cheese)

2 tablespoons melted butter

3 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 500 degrees place pizza stone in oven. Roll out pizza dough on parchment paper, I did not...BIG mistake, HUGE.  In a small bowl combine butter, garlic and garlic powder, melt in microwave. Brush butter mixture on dough, sprinkle parmesan and mozzarella. Transfer to stone which was a huge catastrophe for me, that's why my cheese is all in the middle (see pics). Bake on stone for 8 to 10 minutes. Slice with pizza cutter and enjoy!

Watermelon Salsa or Watermelon Salad

Watermelon is not my favorite but this salad is amazing and I could not get enough of it! You can serve it as Salad or Salsa...

1/2 of a Large Watermelon (seedless)

1 Jalepeno

1/2 of a bunch of Cilantro

1 small Red Onion

2 Limes

Chop watermelon into bite size pieces. Rip cilantro from stems and chop. Take seeds out of Jalepeno, then chop. Dice onion. Mix all ingredients together squeeze lime over salad while mixing. Serve chilled. You can add salt to taste, if you'd like.

Baked Taco Bowls

I love Mexican food. I could eat it everyday, which is funny because growing up we had beans, rice and fresh salsa at every meal and all I ever wanted to eat was pizza. I suppose I could start doing that, hmm wonder what Joe would think of beans, rice and salsa daily. One of my favorite things to eat is taco salad, but deep frying a shell seems gross and so unnecessary.  My mother in law bought these tortilla shell pans they are amazing for taco salads bowls. She may have got hers at bed bath and beyond or world market, if you love Mexican food you should definitely buy these.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Place tortilla in pan and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.

Serve hot or let cool and use later.
