I finally put my pinterest to use again last night and used two of the recipes that I've pinned and tried before. So maybe it doesn't count, but I still store the recipes on pinterest and go back to reference them when necessary.
First, my new favorite.
I adapted this Melted Fontina recipe from Barefoot Contessa to suit my needs. Obviously, I don't need a serving for 4-6, so instead, I diced enough fontina into small cubes to fill a small ramekin, then drizzled olive oil, and sprinkled salt and pepper over the top. I set it under the broiler until it was bubbly and just starting to brown. Then I popped it in the microwave to keep warm while I toasted the French baguette. You could easily halve or double this recipe depending on the number of guests, and it'll definitely be a crowd pleaser. :)
Verdict: YUM!!!
While the fontina was melting, I had pasta boiling on the stove and this skinny marinara simmering. I can't say enough good things about this marinara--it's delicious--and when I'm done eating I feel pleasantly full rather than overstuffed (which is how I usually end meals that involve anything Italian).
Yours in calories,
M.
