Indian Pizza

I saw this recipe somewhere for this super easy Indian Pizza. I LOVE Indian food & this is something quick & light that satisfies my Indian food cravings. You can serve with salad.

Ingredients:

Tandoori Naan Bread (frozen - Trader Joe's)
Cherry tomatoes chopped
A handful of spinach
A few spoonfuls of Lite Ricotta
Curry Simmer Sauce

Take frozen Naan bread & put on baking dish (if making one toaster oven). Spread a layer of curry simmer sauce or your favorite Indian simmer sauce on the Naan. Put a few dollops of Ricotta, a few handfuls of Spinach & cook in 350 degree oven about 5 minutes. When done, top with chopped tomatoes. You can also top with corn, or tweak the ingredients to what you have or are in the mood for. How simple & delicious is that?

Purple flowers Galore!





Roasted Garlic/Vegetable, Feta, Olive pasta


I cut the top off some garlic, cut up some eggplant & zucchini (sliced fairly thin), Tossed in different colored cherry tomatoes & coated with olive oil, seasoned with salt/pepper. Then roast 400 degrees for about 1/2 hour, or until veggies are cooked to your liking.

You can save some of the eggplant & zucchini to put on a baguette roll or crusty bread tomorrow with some goat cheese for a delicious gourmet roast veggie sandwich!

While veggies are roasting, cook some whole wheat fettucini, linguine, spagetti or angel hair. When done, drain the pasta, coat with flavored oil (I used truffle), season with salt & pepper & toss in the rest of the roast vegetables. I then toss in a jar of pitted kalamata olives & some feta cheese to taste.



My daughter said it was delicious!!! My whole family liked it. I served it with whole wheat crusty bread/butter & some chicken on the side. Enjoy this healthy, tasty meal and best part...you can use some of the roast veggies from the meal for a delicious sandwich the next day!

Birds in a Wreath

I made a wreath for my front porch last fall & my hubby noticed a few weeks ago a nest with newly hatched baby birds. Sharing some pics of them, aren't they sweet?
