Ricotta and Onion Pizza
This summer my work colleagues and I came up with a brilliant idea one week to do a potluck for lunch. That was probably the second week on the job. Since then we have made it a weekly ritual. Everyone brings food on Thursday for a communal lunch and leftovers are eaten the next day. This past week we celebrated Canada Day (a long weekend), so we didn’t have a potluck. For our last potluck, I wanted to use up some ricotta cheese I had lying around. After consulting with Andrew, I came up with the idea to make pizza with ricotta cheese. After a short web search, I found a workable recipe with the ingredients I had in my fridge at the time.
Zucchini Latkes
I went home for the weekend in May and raided my family’s fridge. I came away with a few zucchini’s and a bunch of carrots. The current cookbook I am using for new recipes is ordered by vegetable. I checked under ‘Z’ for zucchini and the first recipe caught my attention. My mum used to make zucchini pancakes for our family in my childhood. I remember not being a huge fan. But then again, I wasn’t a huge fan of most vegetables when I was young.
Homemade Pierogi
I made this recipe in an attempt to hone my pierogi making skill, so that rach will be impressed when we do it together.

Ravioli from Scratch
Yes, I admit. I am still documenting my food adventures from the end of January. Our next endeavor involved something we had never tried before. It ended up being harder than it looked, so I left the details for Andrew to master. I am talking about making Ravioli from scratch.
Several weeks before my week off, my mother came across an unopened pasta maker she had won in a contest long ago. Ever since she told me about it I had been dreaming of pasta making.
