To scratch the pizza itch, using anchovies to replace saltiness of peppernoi with healthier fats.
Because of the fiber in the english muffin, this is a surprisingly satisfying lunch and really helps curb the jonesing for a real pizza.

Very Good 4.1/5

I hope that you like this, because it was really yummy to my roommate and I. It looks like it has a lot of ingredients, but it is really easy to make. Feel free to sub shrimp for other seafood or poultry.

P.S. Please excuse the tacky picture--I was really feeling myself ;-)

P.P.S. Please don't hesitate to season the shrimp VERY good, this dish will get most of it's flavor from the broth left from shrimp.

Simple Seared Scallops
Very Good 4.6/5

This recipe comes from Cooking Light. I don't flour my scallops, like the original recipes says to. Instead, I make sure that my scallops are competely dry and that my pan is HOT to get the sear. It's simple, and the balsamic gives a great flavor. I like to substitute tarragon as my herb, but choose what you like. I like to serve with haricot verts or seared spinach in garlic oil.
