Whole wheat pita bread.

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

I’ve attempted pita bread once or twice before but this time it came out wonderful and well deserving of write up (100th post!). They weren’t perfect in shape (there were no flawless circles here) but in taste, consistency and wrapability they were pretty much spot on. Even the couple I forgot to take out in a timely manor tasted good. I think J complemented these pitas like five times while she was eating them. Now I usually half recipes because there are only two adults and a nibbling five year here but this time I thought if I was going to go to all the trouble I would make the full batch and save some for sandwiches over the next day or two. Yeah, they didn’t last the rest of the day. Between J and Z these soft breads didn’t have a chance. I seriously can’t wait to warm up the house with the smell of fresh pita bread again.

Pita bread pizza.

Easy peasy! Want a quick dinner, lunch, breakfast or snack. Grab a piece of (whole wheat) pita bread and top it how you wish. I didn’t feel like making a tomato sauce or opening a whole can of spaghetti sauce for a couple tablespoons so a little K&M barbecue sauce from Spring Hill, Kansas would do me perfect right now. I topped it with goodies I had in the fridge, fresh grated parmesan, freshly crumbled feta, mixed medley cherry tomatoes, and fresh thyme. For sauce you could use anything you want really. White alfredo, buffalo sauce, pesto, nacho cheese, steak sauce, spicy mayo, hollandaise, and on and on…. It’s so easy to make just bake in oven till cheeses melt at around 400 degrees. Done now eat!

Ba ba ba baba ganoush!

Baba ganoush, what can I say, it’s one of the best names for a food EVER. It’s so fun to say and even better to eat. We adore Mediterranean food in this household and Baba ganoush is the bee’s knees. Baba G is super simple to make, bake then blend. It’s light and refreshing with a very natural and earthy taste. Eggplant, lemon, sesame, and olive oil, what a beautiful combo. I can’t wait to get home from work to dig in again, if there is any left by then, oh!
