Chicken & Cheese Pizza with white Sauce

I am not a pizza person, anything tomato sauce or with tomatoes I just won't eat. So I decided to make my own pizza, with a white cheese sauce and chicken (not a fan of ham or pepperoni either). I found a really easy recipe for a crust, that you only need to let sit for 5 minutes. No waiting for it to rise. And then I added a white cheese sauce that's actually for pasta but very good on pizza. Finally, I added pieces of cooked chicken, green onions, shredded cheese(mozzarella or cheddar, or both), and parmesan.

Battered Fish & Herb Spaghetti

I wanted to make something different for supper one day, since I pretty much eat the same things all the time. I had fish(basa) in the freezer that had been there for quite some time, so decided to make that. I found a basic recipe for fish batter on All Recipes.com. 1 part milk, and 1 part milk or water. Then I just added some basil, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.

I also made some simple herb spaghetti to go with it. Another recipe I found at AllRecipes.com, and modified a little bit to my own tastes.

Recipe:
1/4 pound uncooked pasta

1/4 cup butter
2-3 gloves garlic, minced
1/2 Tbsp basil
1 tsp thyme
1/3 tbsp parsley
salt and pepper to taste

Melt butter. Add herbs and stir. Mix into spaghetti.

The simple herbs of the spaghetti tasted very good with the fish.
