You need this simple pita pizza recipe…you REALLY NEED THIS RECIPE, right now! For all of you moms with small kids, sports moms, working mothers … or just anyone with a busy schedule, who is eating healthy, these Simple Vegan Pita Pizza is a lifesaver!
I’ve been absent from the blog for the last couple of weeks. Sleepless nights with teething baby don’t help creativity. On a positive note, being beyond exhausted I’m looking for ways to simplify daily activities even more always with a hope of getting more sleep. This recipe is just one example of a lazy dinner that comes together in less than 15 minutes.
When my 8 year old heard of pizza for dinner, he immediately offered his help. I automatically said “Yes”. A few minutes into the process, he was mashing tofu with a fork looking quite discouraged. Tofu and spinach are not necessarily first pizza ingredients that come to a child’s mind. And it took less than 15 minutes for him to change his mind and give this recipe his approval.
Just looking at these pictures makes me think of hot summer days, dinners on the patio and crisp white wine, which will pair perfectly with these pita pizzas.
