I am a lover of my husband, adorable children, and last but not least food. I first started baking when I was just a little girl. My mom always had an amazing home-cooked meal on the table and she always encouraged me to help. Much of what I know has come from watching her in the kitchen. I used to love to pretend I owned a restaurant and cook things up for my siblings and their friends. Not much has changed :) Now my sweet husband and kids get to be my taste testers. I love exploring new ingredients and am always looking for the best of the best when it comes to recipes. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do. Through this blog I will share just a few of my favorite things- my passion for child development, my wonderful family, and my love for food :) Happy blogging!

Greek Island Pitzas

Long time no post huh??!?! I have been a little crazy with life. My husband had a very intense shoulder surgery, I have been tending a little girl full-time and I was preparing for a Child Life internship interview at Primary Children's Medical Center. Things have calmed down a lot, so I am back! So! Let's just say that I LOVED this meal. It was delicious. I added some lemon-pepper grilled chicken to our pitzas and added a side salad of romaine lettuce, berries, green apples, and walnuts. I topped it with a maple balsamic dressing. YUM! Also for the pitzas I ended up buying 100% Whole Wheat "Earthgrain Thin Buns" because pitas were nowhere to be found in the store I was at. They turned out PERFECT! I think I might almost prefer them this way, but you decide :) I have been trying to cook a little more lightly with a trip to Maui coming up.... so I went to a Weight Watchers cookbook I own called "Pizza, Pizza"! So not only is this meal delicious, but there is little guilt involved :) I will post my version here along with nutrition facts. Enjoy!
