My husband and I had another lovely evening supper on the porch watching the sunset over the Shark River Inlet. There is a light, cool breeze blowing.

Tonight's meal was Fettuccine Alfredo, but made with cauliflower. The recipe is from the website Pinch of Yum. The pasta tastes like a lighter version of original butter and cream recipe. I recommend you give it a try.

For my weekend guests, leftovers will be in the upstairs refrigerator. Recipe after the jump.

Tonight's dinner: Cod with Herb Stuffing Crust, Roast Broccoli with Pecorino Romano Cheese, White Rice, a little Pinot Grigio (for the food styling) and chocolate chip cookies for dessert. 

This was the first time I roasted broccoli and it really brought out its sweetness. My husband loved it too. Easy, healthy dinner. No excuse for take out!

PS - Notice the food styling? My director of photography, aka big brother, suggested a bit more effort. A few minor adjustments to the styling will be incorporated in the future. I hope he approves! Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe coming soon.

Tonight's supper is grilled pizza. The pizza dough recipe is from "Naples at Table" by Arthur Schwartz. Yeast, water, salt and flour, how simple. Put the ingredients in a stand mixer and let it go with the dough hook for 10 minutes. Let it rise couple for a couple of hours and you have pizza dough.  

​I grill the pizza on my gas grill for approximately eight minutes, or until the bottom of the pizza is brown. I top mine with L. E. Roselli Pizza Sauce available at Delicious Orchards. One pizza became margherita, topped with mozzarella and basil, while the other was a white pie, mozzarella, ricotta and caramelized onions.
