Leftovers Pizza

Lately, DJ and I have been very busy, (hence the scarcity of posts) but we still make time to have dinner together as much as possible. We usually make a couple of big dinners on the weekend and then reuse the leftovers during the week. One really good way is making pizza!

We buy the wholewheat large pitas for the crust. You could always make your own pizza crust, but we find that this saves time. This week we had a pizza with left over balsamic chicken breast, homegrown tomato, homemade pesto, garlic, and mozzarella. The toppings vary with the leftovers, but we always seem to have some kind of tomato or sauce and cheese on hand to make these.

One tip if you are going to use pita for the crust. You should drizzle the shell with olive oil and any desired spices and bake it a couple of minutes before adding the topping. This makes a crispier crust.

Every week I love being creative in using leftovers. It makes me feel good in making a tasty meal and not letting good food go to waste.

Happy cooking!
