Mixed Nuts

Making Meals Monday

So this week, I am only making two new things and having pasta on the 3rd night. Mostly because we are having company this week starting on Wednesday night, and I won't have to cook the rest of the week!

Here are my two new recipes

Smoked Salmon Pizza

Ingredients

• 1 (12 inch) pre-baked pizza crust
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup smoked salmon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
• 1/2 (6 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
• 2 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

1. Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Spread the olive oil over the pizza crust, then sprinkle with the smoked salmon, artichokes, and sun-dried tomatoes. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese has melted and is bubbly, 10 to 15 minutes.

**hint - use fresh garlic as well and some Italian seasoning
