Pear & Gorgonzola Pizza

There is nothing good on television.

One of the drawbacks of working at night is that everyone else is working during the day.  I'm all by myself 90% of the day.  It gets kind of boring.

Especially when you've gone through your entire DVR collection.  I mean, why aren't there more good shows on?  Shows that I can get into.  The Hubbs has a special show almost every night of the week.  Me?  I'm constantly scanning for something that catches my interest.

Rarely does that happen.

Right now, I'm watching Grey's Anatomy and Chicago Fire to get my completely unrealistic "real life" drama fix.  NCIS is mysterious and angsty.  The Big Bang Theory is my go-to funny time.  Other than that, I'm scouring the television and Netflix options for something new and exciting.

Suggestions, people.  I need 'em.

Okay, back to food now.

I made a grilled cheese sandwich a couple weeks ago incorporating the flavors of pear and gorgonzola together.  To say that I enjoyed it was a bit of an understatement.  What a flavor combo!

So, this time around, I decided to throw this fruit and cheese combination onto pizza dough.

Again, amazing!  This is one of my new favorite flavors, especially when I'm looking for something slightly sweet, slightly tangy, savory and all-together delicious!

If you like fruit and cheese together, you've got to go for this!
