Although it's not necessarily a classic pairing, goat cheese and grapes make one delicious odd couple. I first fell in love with the duo as a topping for crostini and tonight I'm excited to experiment with the creamy cheese and burst-in-your-mouth fruit as a pizza topping. Store-bought dough means this meal comes together in under a half an hour.

Why order a pizza when you can make one in less time than it takes for it to be delivered? If you keep the pantry stocked with tomato sauce and the freezer filled with pizza dough, fresh and delicious pizza is only minutes away. Tonight, top your pie with sun dried tomatoes and artichokes.

By now, you may know that I love pizza. Not only do I serve it as an appetizer and use leftovers as toppings, but I make it when I'm in need of a quick pick-me-up. After a long day, there's nothing quite as comforting as a crisp crust oozing with melted cheese.

When using store bought products to produce quick fix meals, it's easy to enhance the flavor with simple add-ons. Fresh herbs, finely ground spices, or just grated cheese are wonderful options. To intensify the taste of bottled pizza sauce, stir in chunks of sun-dried tomatoes.

Fig season is like pre-Fall in the fashion world, a tasty little teaser that helps bridge the gap between Summer and Autumn. Perhaps it's partly because the season is so fleeting that this fruit tastes so sweet, but when figs are just right, they taste downright sinful. When people tell me they don't like figs, I say, they just haven't had a good one yet.

After a weekend of grilling and recipe experimentation, my father and I faced a refrigerator full of food. While we could have eaten the baked beans, ribs, and salads on their own, I came up with a genius new way to use leftovers — as toppings on pizza! For $3 we purchased a "skin" — an extra-large pizza dough with no toppings — from a local pizzeria.

The other day I decided to treat myself to my favorite table cheese, grana padano. This Italian cheese is similar to Parmesan reggiano and is excellent eaten right out of your hands. However, my local grocery store was all out.

Kick off your Super Bowl weekend tonight with pizza for dinner. Homemade pizzas are super fun because you can control the topping ingredients. Caramelized red onion and ribbons of roast beef are delicious when paired with crumbled blue cheese and sweet red pepper.
