Farm Fresh

It is a couple of weeks past when I expected the hens to start laying, but I finally found 2 eggs in the chicken house this afternoon!

I went down to the garden and mowed down the weeds with the push mower this afternoon, and brought a bunch of other produce back up from the garden:

For dinner, we had a couple of experiments.  I made Tofu Tikka Masala pizza, using this recipe, substituting a 12 oz block of extra firm tofu for the chicken, and omitting most of the spicy stuff.  I used refrigerated pizza dough (which I have NEVER used before) and baked it in a quarter sheet pan so the crust was extra thick.

For dessert I made Blueberry Dessert Pizza, which I kinda made up on the spot:

1 refrigerated pizza dough

3 T butter, melted

1/2 c flour

2 T sugar

2 cups fresh blueberries

1/8 c instant tapioca

1/4 c sugar

1/2 t cinnamon

1/4 t nutmeg

1 T lemon juice

about 2 T cinnamon sugar

Mix blueberries, tapioca, 1/4 c sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg & lemon juice in medium bowl and squish the blueberries slightly.  Let sit for 30 min, stirring and squishing occasionally.  Mix 2 T melted butter, flour and 2 T sugar to make streusel.  Press pizza dough into quarter sheet pan, dock with a fork and bake at 425* for 4 min.  Brush with remaining butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, spread blueberries and top with streusel.  Bake at 425* for 12 more minutes.

Delicious!
