Daily Recap

• Peanut Butter and Jelly is a great morning snack. It will revive you and get you over the slump after your caffeine buzz from your morning coffee wears off. It will give you energy and if you skipped breakfast the peanut butter will give you all the protein you missed from your morning eggs or oatmeal.

• Pita Pizza is a healthier and lighter version of the traditional cheesy slice. It is a way to be creative and use your imagine to make whatever you are craving. The toppings could range anywhere from cheese and tomato to apple and gorgonzola cheese. The pita can be used as a dessert shell as well, spread some butter on it then sprinkle some cinnamon and sugar, bake until golden brown then top with your favorite sweet treats. As I said the options are endless and it gives you a chance to play with your food like you were a little kid.

• Will Ferrell fights with his "drunk" landlord!

• If you are going to burn something popcorn and tater tots are the worst things to burn. I had a craving today and decided to make some tater tots, it is a very random food to crave but when you really want something you just have to have it. I got distracted and forgot about them until I smelled them burning. The whole kitchen got a little smoky and of course the whole house started to smell like burnt popcorn. It is the hardest smell in the world to get rid of. I tried opening the doors, spraying air freshener, and lighting candles but nothing seemed to work. Finally I tried Febreeze, thank god it worked now instead of burnt popcorn the whole house smells like laundry.

• Heather Mills and Sanjaya are my picks for dude and dudette of the day. Heather gave everyone the show they have been waiting for on last nights "Dancing With the Stars," and Sanjaya has America waiting in anticipation to see what his hair will look like on tonights "American Idol."

• A retired Couple from Queens finally made it to Arizona. The elderly couple took a cab from New York to Arizona just so their precious cat's would not have to sit in an airplane hanger for a few hours. I am sure a long and probably smelly cab ride seemed like a much better option.

Here's whats for lunch

Here is an all time easy and classic dish to make. The pita pizza is a nice stretch from the regular greasy slice of pizza. Pita Pizza is easy to make on your own and is much healthier. I like to make mine a little fancy but just like any regular pizza you can create your own toppings and make it just the way you want. It can be as simple as a regular cheese and tomato pizza or as fancy as sliced pears and brie. I like my pizza a little tangy in order to even out the sweetness of the pita bread. I top my pizza with olive oil, Parmesan cheese,oregano, thyme, salt and pepper. I bake it in the oven at 350 degrees for 5 minutes until it is golden brown. The olive oil cheese and herb mixture bakes into the bread and turns it into my own version of focaccia bread. I top my pizza with caramelized onions, goat cheese, and fresh parsley. The ingredients are simple but the outcome is unbelievably delicious. Try to invent your own version of a pita pizza and I guarantee you will be pleasantly surprised.
