Olivia’s Ultimate Findlay Market BLT
INGREDIENTS
Bread from Blue Oven, I like Salted Rye but you cannot go wrong with anything they make!
Hot Pepper Cheese from Gibbs’ Cheese, I like a thick slice but cut the cheese to your preference.
Pepper Bacon from Eckerlin’s Meats, the best thick slice of bacon at the market.
Spring Mix from Madison’s, I like to be fancy with my greens but bib lettuce or arugula will work just fine.
Roma Tomatoes from Madison’s, I like a few medium sized slices.
INSTRUCTIONS Assemble sandwich and don’t forget your homemade garlic mayo, listed below!

Patty’s Upside Down Veggie Pizza Recipe
This recipe is super versatile! Use any vegetables you want, here’s what I did:
Puff pastry (I used six 5”x5” sheets from Dean’s, pinched together)
1 Beaten egg optional
Feta cut into small chunks, to taste – you can also use fresh Mozzarella – I recommend Gibbs Cheese!
INSTRUCTIONS:
Wash and dry produce – cut veggies into big chunky pieces (I used my 7” Asian chef knife from EKW), slice or mince garlic and snip off the leafy ends of the fennel.
Place all the veggies in a 9 x 13 USA pan, pour a generous portion of olive oil over everything (2-3 tablespoons), evenly sprinkle the Italian seasoning, add a dash of salt & pepper, and mix together. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes.
Remove pan from the oven and using a Dreamfarm Chopula, scoot the veggies away from the edges of the pan, towards the middle. Being careful of the hot pan, place a sheet of puff pastry over the veggies so it covers everything like a blanket, and tuck in at the edges all the way around. Egg wash the exposed pastry if desired, then return the pan to the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown to your liking.
Once you remove from the oven, place a larger flat pan, platter or cutting board on top of the 9×13 USA pan and use potholders to flip the pizza over onto the flat pan or plate. Voila! Upside down pizza! While still hot, top with chunks of feta or fresh mozzarella. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar if desired, you can also add fresh basil, thyme or oregano leaves if you have them. Cut into generous squares and enjoy!
Lucas’ Fresh Pesto
INGREDIENTS
.5 cup pine nuts
4 oz. Parmesan, grated (about ¾ cup)
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
6 cups basil leaves (about 3 bunches)
¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp. kosher salt
PASTA (optional)
12 oz. pasta of your choice
Kosher salt
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
Finely grated Parmesan, for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS:
Toast ½ cup pine nuts in cast iron skillet or stainless steel skillet on the stovetop. Toss once halfway through, until golden brown, 5–7 minutes. Transfer to mortar and pestle and let cool.
Add 3 oz. Parmesan and 2 garlic cloves, finely grated, and grind with pestle until finely ground, about 1 minute.
Add basil leaves a handful at a time and mash with other ingredients.
Add ¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil in a slow and steady stream while mixing until pesto is mostly smooth, with just a few flecks of green. Season with 1 tsp. kosher salt. (Can also be made in a food processor if you have one.)
If using pesto with pasta, cook 12 oz. pasta in a pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain, reserving ½ cup pasta cooking liquid.
Place pesto and 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into pieces, in a large bowl. Add pasta and ¼ cup pasta cooking liquid. Using tongs, toss vigorously, adding more pasta cooking liquid if needed, until pasta is glossy and well coated with sauce. Season with salt.
Divide pasta among bowls. Top with grated Parmesan – Enjoy!
