This recipe had been haunting me for months. Every week I would remember it, vow to make it over the weekend, but then life got in the way and the dish never got made. I’m not sure why it took so long, but the likely culprit is that I rarely eat pepperoni so making a special trip just for pepperoni was not in the cards. But, I finally remembered to buy a package of low-fat turkey pepperoni during a random shopping trip, and the resulting dish was quite tasty. I thought I would want some sort of pasta or carb with the dish, but I really didn’t miss it. To find the recipe, check out the January/February 2012 issue of Cooking Light magazine, or click here.

Pretty! I do love pepperoni–thank goodness the vegan versions are pretty darn similar to the real thing. Now I want to go buy some vegan pepperoni to snack on…

Once again, you have made something that reminds me of your name, a yummy chunklet. It looks delicious and that basil leaf sets it off nicely.

All I can say is, you eat well. You always seem to come up with a nutritious way to make a relatively standard dish even better. Your Posts are most helpful and inspiring. Mary
