Mangia!

Some people think that eating healthy means no carbs or 'good' stuff. However, that's wrong!

If you were to ask me 'what's your favorite food?' my answer would be PIZZA.

Pizza is amazing for many reasons...it's salty (which I prefer over sweet), colorful (a colorful dish means healthy), you can put any toppings you want on it (love creativity) and it satisfies multiple food groups that all contribute to one's daily food intake.

On tonight's dinner menu, I made pita pizza with spinach, mushrooms, garlic and goat cheese. YUM!

Recently I've been buying Joseph's pita breads (very tasty and low in fat and calories) and using that as my pizza dough base. It saves time from rolling out the dough and making a mess in the kitchen, which don't get me wrong is a great time, but after work, you just want to mangia and veg out infront of the TV.

Ingredients:

• 1 pita
• 2 tbsp tomato sauce (I used Prego, tomato basil garlic)
• 1 garlic clove (minced)
• 3-4 whole mushrooms (sliced)
• spinach (add as much as you'd like)
• goat cheese
• salt & pepper to taste

I first warmed up the pita on a cast iron skillet and added the sauce.

Add 1-2 tbsp of tomato sauce onto the pita and spread it out evenly. Mince some fresh garlic and toss that on. Then, create a layer of spinach, covering the tomato sauce. Add as much as you would like! Great source of iron, vitamins and minerals for the body. Then, slice mushrooms and layer those on top of the spinach. Next, sprinkle on some goat cheese in the quantity you choose (you could also use mozzarella which is low in calories and fat). Now you're ready to toss it in the oven or toaster oven. Cook until the pita is crisp and the cheese gets a little melty.
