Mozzarella Naan with Basil and Balsamic Glaze (And My Hump Day Resolution)

Tweet this!

Before I share the recipe, I've got to share these First World Problems I've Had Today:

• Instagram Filters... Don't you hate it when you just can't decide which Instagram filter looks best? Should I go with Walden or Valencia? Or Amaro? I need a second opinion! What a dork... Does this happen to other people?
• Silly Pinky... My work computer is a PC. My personal computer is a Mac. My fingers are all confused. The short keys for copying and pasting are different and require my left pinky to hit Ctrl on the PC but Command on the Mac and THEY ARE IN DIFFERENT PLACES! This leads me to endless frustration as I go from one to the other. Why isn't my stuff pasting? Is my computer broken? No, silly, your brain just can't figure out how to make the change from PC to Mac to PC to Mac... 
• Clumpy Caffeine... I just stirred a Starbucks Refresher powder pack into my water. It's clumpy. No me gusta.
• Dark Photos... The photos for this recipe were shot at night in my mom's kitchen. That means they are D-A-R-K, D-A-R-K, DARK DARK DARK! Darker than the ocean, darker than the sea... Dark. Which makes me sad. Because dark photos are sad. Right?

We all have these silly issues that drive us nuts, right? Well, here's my Hump Day Resolution. I will laugh at myself. Laugh at my indecision over Instagram filters, my poor little pinky that is permanently confused, and the odd powder clumps in my drink. Because you know what? It's a wonderful day, I had a great workout, and, gosh darnit, I'm writing a book that kicks ass. Oh, and I've got something delicious to share. That pretty much takes the cake naan.

This is my new favorite thing. Yuhhhm. It's pretty much a fancier, yet easier version of homemade pizza. Credit to my lovely mother, who came home one fine day with a few pieces of Naan from Costco and a hunk of delicious Mozzarella. Add to that some fresh Basil from the yard and some delicious Balsamic Glaze and VOILA! You've got Heaven on Naan. Sounds like a movie title.
