INGREDIENTS

2 english muffins, split in half

1 teaspoon olive oil

8 ripe tomato slices

Fine-grained sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Pinches of ground oregano

Pinches of dried basil

¼ cup shredded mozzarella

Pinches of dried parsley

METHOD

Preheat oven to 500 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with foil, and set aside.

In a toaster, toast the english muffin halves just until lightly brown.  Use a pastry brush and lightly brush them cut-side up with olive oil, and place the tomato slices on top of each.  Sprinkle the tomato slices with sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste, including pinches of oregano, and basil.  Top all four mini-pizzas generously with mozzarella, and a light sprinkling of parsley.

Place all four mini-pizzas onto the lined baking sheet, and bake for 3 to 4 minutes, just until the mozzarella is light golden and bubbly.  Serve immediately – Enjoy!

Tip: Please feel free to use fresh herbs ~ I only had dried/ground on hand today when creating this recipe.  I served these mini-pizzas with a fresh garden salad tossed with light vinaigrette.

SANDRA'S ALASKA CORONARITAS (aka beer margaritas)

A very pleasing and refreshing beverage anytime of the year ~
I'm not a huge fan of the flavor of tequila, 
although I'm unable to detect its flavor
in these delectable Coronaritas...

Yields: (6 beverages--A Pitcher, or so...)
Prep: 10 Mins.

INGREDIENTS:

***Coronaritas:
1 (12. oz. bottle) of Corona Beer
12 ozs. of tequila
--(A quality brand)
1 (12 oz. can) of frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
1 (12 oz. can) of sprite
1 lime, cut in half
--(Reserve other ½ for rimming glass)
Ice cubes, enough for 6 glasses

***Rimming glass / garnish:
1 lime, cut into 8 slices, then cut a slit half way through each slice (for garnish)
and kosher salt (to rim glass)

METHOD:

Prepare 6 stemmed margarita glasses by running a half of a lime around rim of each. Pour kosher salt onto a flat saucer, and gently tap moistened rim of glass to coat. Fill each glass will ice cubes, and set aside.

***[For non-blended Coronaritas]:
Pour corona, tequila, limeade concentrate, and sprite into a large pitcher. Squeeze half a lime into pitcher mixture as well, and stir to combine. Pour Coronarita mixture equally among 6 prepared glasses, and garnish each with a slice of lime.

***[For blended Coronaritas...My preference ;-)]
Pour corona, tequila, limeade concentrate, and sprite into blender. Squeeze half a lime into pitcher mixture, as well as 3 cups of ice cubes, and puree to combine. Pour Coronarita mixture equally among 6 prepared glasses, and garnish each with a slice of lime. ~ Enjoy!
