Cooking and Recipe sites anyone?

Last night was my last night of carbs for another two weeks.

I'm almost ashamed to admit that I've put on an additional 10 pounds since my wedding and that I'm probably getting to be in the worst shape of my life. This is very disappointing to me as I'm sure you can imagine.

So, last night, I made one of my biggest guilty pleasures - an all olive pizza that takes on a significant Mediterranean flavor. But last night, I did something different. I finally got brave and grilled my pizza.

I'm happy to report that this experiment turned out fabulous. I used a pre-made crust for my first attempt. After brushing the crust with a healthy dose of olive oil, I dusted the entire crust with herbs and a light coating of cracked black pepper and garlic salt. I made my own tomato sauce from scratch and then added Colossal Greek Black Olives, Kalamata Olives and Cracked Sicilians.

It was fantastic. The flavor of the olives penetrated the crust and the sauce... and the cheese melted very evenly. Creating unique and different pizzas is something I've started to take very, very seriously. Thankfully, I'm not as obsessed as this guy. Ask my wife, every one of my pizzas is a little different, whether it's the sauce, the seasoning of the crust, or the length in the oven. Every one is different, because every one is influenced by my mood.

But now, it's back to South Beach, which means I'm back to lots of lean meats. So tonight, I'm continuing my Mediterranean tour and plan on prepping a Tuscan-style grilled steak.

Here's the marinade, which I got from the boards over at Chow.

1 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary leaves

So,Chow is my go to for new recipes. Other than the Food Network Site, do you guys have anywhere you surf for new recipes.... I'm a little out of practice. Happy eating.
