A few years ago I told you about a trusted staple in our dinner rotation- MAKESHIFT PIZZAS!! If you have access to Middle Eastern flatbread from Trader Joe’s, you can easily make your own quick custom pizzas. If you don’t, try to find some other comparable flatbread or pita. Wanna see how easy they are? Let’s take a look!
That’s right, Katy! YOU WON!!! Also, I have to say that your snack sounds pretty darn good.
Chips & salsa with a little Greek Yogurt= FANTASTIC!
I want to THANK everyone for entering my latest Current Favorite things Giveaway! I truly LOVED reading all of your comments and I’m definitely going to try A LOT them! You all gave me sooo many good ideas!!!!
It’s true. My new Electrolux fridge makes the cutest ice cubes. Out of all the cool features on my fridge, is it weird that I kinda love my ice cubes the most? Wait. We’ve already established I’m weird. Let’s continue.
So why is good to have cute ice cubes?

Strawberries! I have an overwhelming amount of strawberries in my kitchen right now. There’s definitely a reason for that, but I’ll get to that later. Right now I’m thirsty and I want to do something with my loot. The current issue of Bon Appetit suggests I make a soda with them. Yes. Good call, Bon Appetit. I like you even more now.
So here I am drinking this soda. It’s like grownup sparkling strawberry lemonade and it’s super refreshing! I can definitely see a lot of these in my future….with a lot of gin. CHEERS!

A food related photo everyday until 2012. Here’s week 16:
118/365 Snacking on a cutie with a new cookbook I’m excited to dig into!
Don’t give me that look. It’s perfectly acceptable to have chocolate for breakfast! Especially when you realize that the slice of powdered sugar dusted cake on my plate is actually a PANCAKE. It’s a chocolate pancake, PEOPLE! And it takes absolutely no time to make! I was able to execute this recipe whilst getting ready for work, feeding Cooper, quieting an incessantly mewing cat, wrangling a diaper bag, taking pictures, sneaking in a few morning kisses with my husband, and cleaning up my kitchen on a weekday. Let me say that again- A WEEKDAY!! If that doesn’t give you a hint of how easy it was, then I don’t know what will!
All you need is a small group of ingredients, a blender, a medium sized cast iron skillet & a hot oven and you’re just 20 minutes away from digging into a chocolate pancake for breakfast. Do you need syrup for this pancake? Heck NO! It’s perfectly sweet with the combo of the powdered sugar & the strawberries. Isn’t that fantastic? No syrup means you have one less thing to deal with in the morning! And yes…it does taste like a piece of really thin chocolate cake!
Here’s a lesson in food blogging for you: If you want to share a scrumptious recipe with people, make sure to protect your photos from being deleted. You could potentially write your way out of this difficulty. You could describe how epic the buttery lemon sauce was that accompanied the chicken. You could tell your readers how easy it was to flatten a chicken and how much faster it cooks when it’s prepared that way. You might even want to tell them how you used the leftover chicken in quesadillas one day, threw it in a burrito bowl for lunch another day, and finally topped the last bit on a Greek pizza for dinner. But really, who cares about all of that when there isn’t a picture like the one you see above?
I made this chicken TWICE in one week. The first time was intended for you…the second time was to make up for the accidental photo deletion. That’s right. I lost over 40 photos. With a flat roasted chicken recipe this amazing, making it twice in one week was no big deal. In fact, I didn’t mind at all.
