What a fun surprise this turned out to be! If you like pizza,
then you will love this! I had never cooked with orzo before this dish.
It looks like rice, but it's really pasta! And talk about easy! It's one
of those dishes that comes together in a flash and leaves you wondering
why you've never made it before now! It was GREAT leftover! In fact, my
daughter pulled it out of the fridge to have some for dinner last night
and my son made sure she knew NOT to eat it all. Do grown kids ever
stop policing one another? I guess I should take it as a compliment that
they were fussing over my food, huh?

Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!
