Photo One-Off: Pizza Poblano

I don’t think of myself as a cheap person. I’ll gladly buy a bag of sea salt for $8, a good bottle of olive oil for $20 or more. I’m not a nitpicker about splitting a check when out to eat with friends. But we’ve had pizza delivered a couple of times in the last few weeks, just for two of us. And it was $20+ for a medium pizza. When did regular ol’ pizza get so damn expensive?

Keep pizza dough around, or pick some up at your local market and you’ll be spending a whole lot less than $20 for pizza. Dinner in a flash: Trader Joe’s pizza dough, Bionaturae tomato, Columbus Salame Toscano, sliced poblanos, red onion, grated mozzarella and Beecher’s Flagship. Baked on a pizza stone at 475F for about 12 minutes.

Gluten Free Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Back of the bag recipes have sustained us for ages. Our grandmothers clipped recipes from paper board cylinders of oatmeal, from the backs of chocolate chip bags, and ordered recipe booklets from Betty Crocker and Jello. Some of those recipes stand the test of time because manufacturers just keep putting them on the packages, like the Toll House chocolate chip cookie recipe. But others are lost to the ages because there was no where else to get them. It’s in that spirit that I’m bringing you these cookies from the back of the Trader Joe’s Rolled Oats bag. (And we all know how transitory products can be at Trader Joe’s.)

So, oatmeal cookies. But not just oatmeal, Gluten-Free Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip.
