Apple-garlic pizza

We prepared this pizza on the weekend:
The ingredients are (sorry I don't have specific quantities, we just improvised the amounts):
Granny Smith apples
One bulb of garlic
Margarine
Tomato paste
Grated cheddar cheese
Dried rosemary
Pizza dough (homemade or Pillsbury)

Chop the apples

Chop the garlic

Fry the garlic and the apple in margarine

Have the pizza dough ready. We used homemade, but I don't know how it was made, you can also use Pillsbury, it's really good (you can also show your tattoo while doing that, hee hee).

Spread the tomato paste on the pizza dough, arrange the apple+garlic mixture and add some shredded cheddar cheese. Sprinkle with chopped walnuts and rosemary.

Bake until the cheese is melted. Enjoy this delicious pizza.

Roasted Creamy Alfredo Sauce

FC OZ sent the following recipe:

3 whole bulbs of garlic
1/2 lb. cooked boneless chicken breast, cut into 1/2” dice
3/4 cup of corn kernels
1 can ( 4 oz.) chopped green chilis (for more heat, use chopped canned jalapenos!)
1 green bell pepper, seeded, and cut into 1/2” dice
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/2” dice
2 cups of diced corn tortillas(1/2” dice)
1/2 cup shredded reduced fat Mexican four cheese(available in local markets)
1 jar (16.4 oz.) Creamy Alfredo Sauce

Remove the outer layers of the garlic bulbs and cut off the stems. Brush with oil, wrap in tin foil, and bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Remove the garlic from the foil and squeeze out the roasted garlic from the cut end of the bulbs. With the flat part of a knife spread the roasted garlic into a paste. Heat the Creamy Alfredo Sauce to a low simmer and whisk in the garlic paste. Place the sauce and all of the other ingredients other than the cheese into a two quart baking dish (8”X8”X2”), mix the ingredients in the dish thoroughly. Top with the cheese. Place the baking dish in a 350 degree preheated oven for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest five minutes.

I guess you can figure out what to do from here.

I saw a variation of this recipe on Rachael Ray. I added some more spices to make it taste more like my parm. Was a BIG HIT!

(chop them into bite sized pieces before cooking)
1 lg onion
2 Tablespoons garlic
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons italian seasoning
1 box of chicken broth
1 can of crushed tomatoes
salt and pepper to taste


sliced garlic bread
mozzerella cheese

slice onions in small slices. Brown onions in olive oil until carmelized. Add chicken. Brown in pan until cooked completely. Add seasonings, broth, tomatoes. Cook on low heat min of 15 minutes. (I simmered for a couple of hours)

Place slice of garlic bread in bottom of bowl. Scoop soup on top of bread, place mozzerella on top of soup to melt.

Enjoy!

After a few questions, here is what Christine replied:
