my boo devouring the chicken caesar pita pizza...


Quite a hit :)

greek pizza.....my obsession


ok....since cpk has a greek pizza that i am utterly OBSESSED with....i did what any fat kid would do and figured out how to make it at home....not ashamed

for the greek mix:
1/2 red onion, chopped
1-2 roma tomatoes, chopped
kalamata olives, chopped, to taste they're a bit salty, about 8-10
1/2 cucumber, chopped
1/4 can black olives, chopped
2-3 tbs greek vinaigrette salad dressing

mix all veggies together with the greek vinaigrette and let sit in fridge

for the pizza:
pita bread
olive oil
feta cheese
monterrey jack or any other white cheese you prefer, shredded

lightly brush the pita with olive oil and greek vinaigrette salad dressing, and sprinkle with monterrey jack cheese. preheat oven to 350 and put in oven until cheese is melted and edges of pita crispy. about 5-7 minutes.

when it comes out of the oven top with cold greek mix and sprinkle with feta cheeeeseeeee omg my favorite :)

ok...i did it....created a food blog....

This was blog was definitely Jerad's idea, but i think its an awesome one.
i do not by any means think i am a chef, nor have i had any schooling for cooking, but i definitely love to eat good food, and feed the ones i love good food, but more than anything i cook because i love it, and i love the smile on my mans face when i make something that turned out to be pretty amazing :)
