Mama mia! Missouri chanterelle and prosciutto pizza, 184

OK. The recipe name says Missouri chanterelle, but we all know these chanterelles came from the farmer's market in Portland, Oregon. Who's counting, though, right?

It's amazing what great meals a person can make at home. Uprise Bakery here in Columbia makes these tasty whole wheat pizza crusts that are just great. It's hard to go wrong once you have those in the fridge. This pizza is topped with carmelized onions, garlic, chanterelles, prosciutto and parmesan cheese. Yep. It tastes as good as it sounds. It's really a rich, interesting, and deeply satisfying combination.

I wasn't sure if two of these small pizzas would do the four of us, and didn't have ingredients in to make either a third like the first two, or a more traditional pizza. Instead, I used some anchovies, green olives and spicy tomato sauce to make a putanesca style pizza. Survey says: good AND salty!

Who needs to be taken out when you can make a meal like this at home? Well, that's a bit of an overstatement. I do like a nice breakfast or dinner out on the weekends, too. Oh, and going out for ice cream . . . and coffee . . . and margaritas . . .
