Welcome to my food adventures!

I have recently decided to put my obscene love of food to some use. Now family and friends can keep up with me as I explore different kinds of food - at home, at restaurants, in other countries, etc.! I really do find that I associate lots of great memories with the food I eat. So this is as much a project for myself as it is for my friends and family. Enjoy! Hope some of it makes you hungry :)

Pizzas at home

I hope these look as good as they tasted. I wanted pizza for quite a long time and I finally made them at home! It was so very easy. I didn't make the crust, unfortunately, but my pizzas didn't take terribly long to make and they still tasted fresh. For Josh, the less adventurous of the two of us, I made a cheese pizza. For myself, I made a BBQ chicken, mushroom and broccoli pizza. For both of them I used whole wheat pita bread as the crust, which worked perfectly because it was thick and fluffy like a pizza crust should be! :D

While I heated the pita breads in the oven, I grilled some chicken breast that I had hanging around in the fridge and sauteed it together with some baby portabello mushroom slices, some BBQ sauce and some boiled broccoli. It sounds like a weird combination, and I guess it was. But I enjoy weird combinations, especially if they're tasty! And this was no exception. Under all the delicious toppings there was a simple four cheese Italian blend (the same I used for the chicken mac & cheese; it's pretty versatile). Toppings like this make a great alternative to the traditional pizza sauce if you can't eat it or you're just up for something different!

Josh and I sat down with our personal pizzas and watched some Man vs. Wild with Bear Grylls, a habit we've been forming at dinner time. I was more than stuffed with just one, but Josh ended up making a second cheese pizza for himself in the microwave :P I was glad to have such positive reception! It was quick, easy, tasty and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a meal that is filling and inexpensive. I'm sure it would do well with some salad and garlic bread, etc.!
