While most girls commonly utter, “OMG, I don’t have a single thing to wear!”  I’m not most girls.  I’m usually saying things like, “OMG, I haven’t gone to the grocery store, I don’t have a single thing to cook for dinner!”  I don’t dream in black high heels or thigh-high boots, I dream in All-Clad, vintage cake pedestals, canning supplies, and the latest gourmet olive oil to hit the shelves.

So the other night when I found myself saying the above to myself, I rummaged thru my sad, sparse fridge and came up with this:

I think it looks pretty darn swanky for having put it together with a pita bread brushed with EVOO, 2 mozz string cheese sticks (yes, the kind people give their kids), turkey pepperoni, and little bit of leftover asparagus salad from Whole Foods which consisted of 4 cherry tomatoes I halved lengthwise, 2 small hunks of fresh mozz, and some asparagus pieces.  I loaded it all up, sprinkled it with some parm shreds I had shoved at the back of the fridge, and put it under the broiler of my Breville Smart Oven (love that thing), until it was toasty and crispy – and it was fantastic!  Before slicing it I used a finishing olive oil infused with lemon, but even without that, it’s all good.

So the next time you find yourself cursing a missed groceries trip, challenge yourself, and lemme’ know what you came up with!
