This pizza is fast to make when using rotisserie chicken, and prepared pizza dough. For an even quicker preparation use already cooked bacon crumbles. I cook my pizza in a cast iron skillet for a slight crunch to my dough. Serve with a small salad if desired.

Chef John's Rosemary Shortbread Cookies
While rosemary may seem like a strange addition at first, it works perfectly in this shortbread cookie recipe that I'd argue they're actually better than the typical version. There's something so interesting about how the subtle hint of this resinous herb works with this sweet, buttery cookie.
Bluezy's Stuffed Jalapenos with Bacon
One of my favorite recipes! I love jalapenos and make these when nothing else hits the spot. Topped with sour cream or ranch dressing and chopped fresh chives, this is a great appetizer or snack. Serve with homemade sangria. Also great on the grill.
Roasted Sweet Potato, Black Bean, and Chorizo Breakfast Bowls
These breakfast bowls are a change from the usual and are loaded with various flavors and textures. Home- or store-made chorizo is best, but feel free to use your favorite brand. You may combine sweet potatoes, black beans, chorizo, and avocados before topping them with the egg. I like to top mine with cotija cheese, cilantro, and chipotle hot sauce.
