Did you hear that the Dominican Republic won the World Baseball Classic? No OK, good, let me brag about it.

Baseball is the sport in the Dominican Republic. This was big here, very big, as witnessed by my Twitter and Facebook feeds.

Families organized potlucks to watch the game with Puerto Rico. This became quite the event, because to us Dominican there is no celebration without food. And speaking of celebrating, try this dish. It's perfect for potlucks. I mean, who doesn't love cheese, lots of cheese?

If you absolutely have to have meat in yours, consider adding a layer of pepperoni under the tomato sauce. I served mine with baby spicy greens and purple basil salad from my organic potted garden.

If you follow me on Instagram you'd probably seen all the pictures I have posted of it.
