this blog was created because many people, like myself, have a hard time with the mainstream acceptance of 'not real food'. we hope we can turn a few heads to 'real food' by shared conversation, recipes and picture/video.
this was a really good pie. red onion & andouille sausage topping, mozzarella, sauce (crushed san marzano, bit of evoo, oregano, salt/pepper and a pinch of brown sugar. the crust, although cooked too long to get desired texture (which makes it somewhat tough), was probably the best yet. the sauce with a hint of brown sugar complimented the sausage well and the onions gave it a robust flavor. check out the bottom. mighty fine.

1/8in thick onion rings, lightly floured and fried in evoo
one slice vine ripe tomato
red leaf lettuce
and i love mustard on top but brooke puts mayo so whatever you like
