Taco Pizza

We usually save pizza for Saturday nights, but this week we decided to have Taco Pizza on a Thursday evening for dinner. Instead of using a huge pizza pan I made individual sized pizzas to keep up with portion control. Everyone liked them, even Alexander who is 13 1/2 months old.

The pizza was simple. We always keep some lean ground beef with taco seasoning in the freezer for quick meals and I bought some Greek Pita Breads with the thought of using them for pizza crusts.

My Pita Taco Pizza

Greek Pita Bread
Lean Ground Beef w/ Taco Seasoning (pre-heated)
Salsa
Cheddar Cheese
Shredded Lettuce
Diced Tomato
Sliced Black Olives

Place the pita breads out on a greased pizza pan and evenly distribute taco meat over each pita. Top with shredded cheese. Bake in the oven at 400 degrees until cheese melts. Remove from oven and layer salsa, lettuce, tomato, & olives.

Yummy Salad

Salad can get boring so today I got creative... romaine lettuce, a little ranch mixed in with the lettuce... then shredded cheddar, raspberries, grape halves, strawberry, and just a few almonds. A nice fresh salad for a warm day. Yum!

Greek Pita

Keeping up with healthy eating is not an easy task. We have been eating reasonably well, but it is tough to break old habits. I caved once in the past bit and grabbed Burger King for dinner for the family. This past Friday evening was beautiful and I really didn't feel like attempting some big meal. I had already had thaw ed some boneless, skinless chicken breast and thought that some sort of sandwich would be ideal. We had all the fixin's for a Greek Pita so that's what I did. I love my Wolfgang Puck Panini Maker and use it for almost everything including to grill chicken. I didn't add any seasoning... just threw them on two at a time. I got together all of the ingredients: Whole Wheat Pita Pockets, diced onion & tomato, sliced black olives, feta cheese and lettuce. For lettuce I always use my lettuce spinner that I bought at Costco some time ago. Christian absolutely loves when I call him to spin the lettuce out. It's like a toy to him. I also used...

Jerk Shrimp Taco with Pina Colada Crema

Tacos are such an easy meal and even though we like the typical ground beef taco we are always up for a new twist.  I found this idea on pinterest and changed it up to fit what we had on hand.    The original recipe said to 'drizzle' the crema, but mine was too thick to drizzle so I piped it on.   Also, I subbed canned pineapple instead of fresh pineapple.  The taste was still delicious though. The original recipe called for a homemade jerk marinade.  We could've done it, but I already had dry jerk seasoning in the pantry so hubby combined it with some OJ and soy sauce to make a marinade.  It worked out very well.  We subbed green cabbage instead of red and used a Pineapple Habanero Sauce that we had in the fridge instead of a homemade pineapple salsa.  And even though I know that the fresh grilled pineapple salsa would've been absolutely delicious, the sauce sub was also very, extremely tasty.   And ...
