Dinner Ideas

The other night I needed some inspiration to get dinner together, so, I decided to pick one ingredient and figure out dishes around it! Iron Chef style ;) 

Secret Ingredient: Basil!

First was the tomato/basil pizza made on tortillas with mozzarella cheese, a little bit of salt/pepper, and olive oil. I baked it first for about 10mins @ 350degrees, and then tossed it into the broiler for a toasty finish :)

Then for cocktails I was inspired by a Basil Lemonade drink I had the other night at a local restaurant.  In a martini shaker I put about 5 large basil leaves, filled with ice, then half with vodka, and added the juice from one lemon. *shake vigorously* Pour into pint glass and the top off with sparkling water! So easy and so delicious! (next time I'll try adding some honey into the mix to sweeten things up) 

Enjoy!!
