Blue Cheese, Roasted Garlic, and Spinach Pizza
Sometimes you just want to play with your food. I’m talking about experimenting with flavor combinations, of course. If you’re a regular reader, you know that’s one of my favorite things to do. I love experimenting with flavors. You might not always come up with a winning combination, but sometimes you’ll discover tastebud gold! As far as experiementing goes, this one is pretty tame, but also very tasty. You’ll also have fun making your own pizza – and you can use this recipe as a basis to get into the kitchen and experiment with your own pizzas. Of course, cheese and pepperoni is a classic combinaiton for a reason.
