Whats For Dinner

This week we've been cooking from Cooking Lights- Fresh Food Fast, Weeknight Meals.  The following recipe is fast, delicious and healthy.  You only need five ingredients, the rest should be staples, and you can change up the ingredients to suit your taste.


Mini White Pizzas

4 (6-inch) whole wheat pita's
olive oil flavored cooking spray
1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced (I used a mandolin)
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup light garlic-and-herbs spreadable cheese (such as Alouette Light)
6 Tbsp Asiago Cheese

1. Preheat broiler
2. Place pitas on a baking sheet; broil for 3 minutes
3. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; coat pan with cooking spray. Add zucchini, onion, pepper, and salt; saute 3 minutes or until veggies are crisp-tender.
4. Remove pitas from oven; and spread 2 Tbsp garlic-and-herb spreadable cheese over each pita. Top evenly with veggies and Asiago cheese. Broil 3 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and cheese melts.  Yield: 4 servings. Calories- 272 per pizza.

I added mushrooms to mine.  Sauted them in a dry pan by themselves then added them to the pitas with the other veggies.

You can serve this with an easy Caesar salad- romaine hearts, light caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese and croutons. Yum!
