While it may not be a new idea to use leftovers as pizza toppings,
leftover grilled steak pizza is definitely out of the ordinary. This recipe rethinks the quintessential steak and potatoes combination by putting the two on top of a pizza pie.
Fresh garlic, slivered red onions, and lots of melted cheese complete this interesting dish.

When you're stuck in a middle-of-the-work-week rut, a great way to spice things up is through food. While this exotic meal may sound difficult to make — the ingredients are a bit unusual — the cooking techniques are simple and ordinary. Plantains are sautéed with onions, bell pepper, and garlic before being tossed with chunks of pork tenderloin.

Spinach and feta are a classic Mediterranean combination. The salty feta perfectly complements the fresh greens. Tonight use this dynamic duo to make a delicious casserole sized calzone.

Lisa at
TokyoMango tipped us off to the latest trend in Japanese candy. The Japanese have become known for their
interesting flavor combos, and this time a company in Aomori, one of Japan's top garlic-producing regions, is combining garlic and chocolate.
Their product is called "
black garlic chocolate" and it is a piece of fermented black garlic, covered with chocolate and sprinkled in cocoa powder. A garlic truffle if you will.

A few years ago, I picked up a book called
A Flash in the Pan. It promised easy meals that could be created in one skillet; it also happened to be on sale. So I took it home and it has become one of my most inspirational books.
