Yummy Recipe

Just wanted to share a good recipe with you - especially since its really kid friendly and i'm always searching for something healthy that avery will eat. the recipe is for greek pita pizzas and its from my sister-in-law hannah. avery loves them - i leave the tomato and olives off of hers and she can polish off about 2/3 of a pita herself! here it is:

1 can artichoke hearts, chopped and drained well
2 zucchini - coarsely shredded
1 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp dried oregano
6 pitted kalmato olives, chopped
4 whole wheat pitas (6.5 inch diameter)
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup shredded mozarella cheese
1 scallion, thinly sliced

preheat oven to 425. cook the artichokes, zucchini, garlic and oregano for about 5 minutes over medium high heat, until the zucchini is tender. stir in the olives. place pitas on a baking sheet and spread with zucchini mixture. sprinkle with feta and tomatoes. bake for about 10 minutes. sprinkle with mozzarella and bake 3-4 minutes longer until the cheese is melted. sprinkle with scallions and let stand for a few minutes before serving.

enjoy it! and maybe your kids will secretly eat zucchini and artichokes under the pretense of "pizza!"
