Crispy Cheesy Pan Pizza. There Are Days When Salad Is Not A Reason To Go On Living.
Comfort Food
When quarantine started to drag on and on, I started craving comfort food. Yes, this has led to the quarantine almost-15 settling around my waist and hips, but sometimes the NYT celery salad just won’t soothe the existential fear that attacks out of the blue. Recently, I discovered a recipe on the King Arthur flour website that combines pizza with a cast-iron skillet, a match made in heaven to this country girl. It’s the perfect Rx for those nights when the news is bad and the future uncertain and mozzarella is the only answer.
