Broccoli Sambal and Mediteranean Pizza

I'm waiting for the weather to get cooler because I have had the worst craving for a coconut cake. I don't know that I've ever had a great Coconut Cake but I'm going to make one when the weather get's cooler. Hopefully it comes out exactly like what I am picturing in my mind.

In the meantime, I have two recipes to share. First up, I made Broccoli Sambal. I usually steam my broccoli cause it's healthier. AI haven't made many roasted broccoli recipes- and after making it this way? This is the only way I want to make it. It  was SO GOOD. Flavorful, spicy, and with a hint of sweetness. I had to order the Sambal paste off of Amazon because I couldn't find it locally- I LOVE it. Wish I bought two bottles or even just a larger bottle. I made salmon to go along with it. If you need a broccoli recipe- try this! 

Lastly I made a Mediterranean Pizza. I was fully planning on buying the pita bread- but the store closest to me didn't have them. So I decided to make some whole wheat one. But then I was too lazy to bake them into shape..so I just flattened it like a pizza crust and baked. It worked perfectly and was crispy so it held up to all the topping. Then I made the hummus- which was different because it used yogurt. It wasn't as creamy as other hummus recipes I tried. But it was really good! Then you just top with a ton of feta, tomatoes, olives, herbs, and red onions...One of my favorite dinners I have done this year! 

Excuse the pan- I used my crusty one....

Overall, quite a good week for me if I do say so myself!
