I am very proud to present O'Donovan's on the Waterfront's newest contributor, Alyssa Huberts! Alyssa has been responsible for several of our previous recipes, such as the Pear-Chicken Pizza and Thai-Chicken Pizza. Seeing as John and Scott are having some trouble coming up with new recipes, we hope that Alyssa will fill the void in your life caused by inadequate Leo's creativity. We'll have her bio up on the "About Us" Page shortly. And now, her first original recipe!
~2 English Muffin halves, toasted if desired (available from MYOP)
~Sliced Tomato
~Tuna or Chicken Salad
~Slice of Cheese
Put the English Muffin Halves, openfaced, on a make-your-own-pizza plate. Lay a tomato slice on each. Spread tuna/chicken salad and top with a slice of cheese. Send it through the Make-your-own-pizza oven and enjoy!
Editor's note: This is seriously an amazing dish. You can try it with a bagel as well, but English muffins work better for the size of the tomato slice. Also, I find that the tuna works a little better because the mayo in the chicken salad melts and gets a little messy.

Simple Pleasure Mondays: Baked Potatoes
So before we get to the actual subject of this post, we have many updates going on here. First, we know that there haven't been many original recipes as of late. Have no fear, that is about to change. Check back on Wednesday for more.
In other news, we've just hit 10,000 views all time! That's great, but tell your friends about us so we can continue to grow. Remember that if you read this blog regularly, you can follow us either on Facebook or on Blogger to make things easier. Check on the sidebar over there -->
Now for today's suggestion: the Baked Potato Bar
We've previously raved about the carving station, especially their lunchtime sandwiches. However, we also need to tout their baked potatoes, which are always available, without a line, and are always quite delicious. I've taken to eating one literally at almost every meal. Just snag one, cut it open, spoon in some sour cream as well as bacon, chives, or cheese, and enjoy. As an added bonus, Leo's prepares their baked potatoes how I call, "Red Lobster Style," with sea salt on the skin. This makes the skin really quite delicious and you get the extra health benefits of it. I hope you all try this out!

Simple Pleasure Mondays: Hot and Cold
Hello, we've missed you all!
As you may have noticed, OOTW ran into a bit of a stall over the past few weeks. Part of that is due to increased business with schoolwork and ultimate, but part is also due to the fact that our new year innovation has begun to wear off =( . Of course we're still working when we get the chance (and we might have a new contributor soon!) but for now, we want to ask for your contributions. Many of our ideas come from things we see or hear about from our friends, but for all of you readers that we haven't met, feel free to email us or comment with your ideas! We'll credit you of course if you would like.
On that note, here's this week's simple pleasure: hot soups and cold salad dishes.
Leo's rotates their soups on a daily basis, and they're generally pretty enjoyable. I promise you won't have to wait in line, and with the coming winter months, they might be exactly what you're looking for in a hot and comforting dish.
If, on the other hand, you wish you didn't have to eat something lukewarm that was intended to be hot (yeah, it happens all the time, we know), try something meant to be eaten cold. Now I don't claim to be an expert on making traditional salads, but I have come to enjoy some of the cold pasta, rice, or vegetable salads that Leo's concocts between the fruit and waffle-maker downstairs. They sometimes contain some really unusual and delicious ingredients, and the variation is quite satisfying. As an added bonus, they're usually vegetarian and relatively healthy. Enjoy!
