About the Author
The "South Jersey Foodie" is Nicole Pellegrini, sometimes known as sockii. She enjoys life as a writer, artist, webmaster, crafter and avid food-lover living in some of the last vestiges of active farmland in Gloucester County, New Jersey. She shares her home with her partner David, a podiatrist in Woodbury NJ and their six cats: Peanut, Norman, Sammo, Mischief, George and Benny.I believe in enjoying life - and that includes enjoying as many different kinds and styles of food as possible. I am an omnivore with a personal passion for small, sustainable, ethical farming and natural foods. I have little patience for the "Food Police" or those who advocate that one dietary plan is the only "right" one for everyone. Find your personal balance and conscience; make food a joy in your life - that's my motto.

My untraditional 4th of July “Cook-Out”
Since I’d just done a massive seafood BBQ the day before with my mom, I decided to stay “indoors” on the 4th and just do up a really nice pair of pizzas for the sweetie and I instead. (You know I love making pizza at home!) Since I’ve got so much great bacon from our recent farm pork bounty, and all my herbs and greens are going crazy in the garden, I made Caramelized Onion Pizza with Bacon, San Marzano Tomatoes, Mixed Cheeses, Wild Arugula and Basil. I slow cooked the onions in butter on the stove until I couldn’t stand the wonderful aroma any longer and was ready to start eating them before even putting them on the pie.
