I know it has been a while since I posted a recipe on here. The benefits of a birthday is when going out and this particular birthday had us going out A LOT!!! We have eaten out more in the last week than we typically do and by the end of the splurge, I was DYING to get back to home cooked meals. Last night was my first night back cooking and I made pork chops and mashed potatoes. Nothing too exciting to share there. Tonight, on the other hand, is different.
I love french bread pizza. Typically, I do a traditional type of french bread pizza...I take french bread and I slice it down the middle. I put pizza sauce (I like Catalina's...or something like that) on and top with canadian bacon, red onion, pineapple, and mozzarella cheese. I have also made it with alfredo sauce, chicken and cheeses. Tonight...oh tonight...what a treat I came up with!!
My family (and I) LOVE mediterranean food. Feta...olives...hummus...the list goes on. I wanted to do french bread pizza tonight and my initial thought was to make the alfredo chicken pizza, but I didn't want to cook chicken, so I got my brain cells working....
Mediterranean French Bread Pizza
French bread, sliced in half
Chopped up: green bell pepper, red onion, marinated artichoke hearts, roma tomatoes
sliced or chopped olives
feta, crumbled
basil pesto
fresh basil
mozzarella cheese
Spread the pesto on the bread as you would pizza sauce. Place the veggies over the pizza how you like. Put on feta and top with mozzarella. Cook in preheated 425 degree oven until melty. Oh my word..the flavors are amazing together.
This left one kid with an empty plate and the other asking for more!!

Now, it was not in my plans to make a dessert, but a friend on facebook posted that she was making STRAWBERRY BROWNIES. Uh...excuse me?? What is this you are saying?? Me (and several others) asked for her to share her recipe. Now I am a bit worried about this..strawberry things tend to make my daughter sick. Well...another friend said...I bet these would be good as LEMON BROWNIES!! Uh.........YEAH!!! I called my husband immediately giving him instructions on what to buy and I was ready to bake as soon as he came in...and it is easy to bake so no big deal!
LEMON BROWNIES (SO SIMPLE)
Take one box of lemon cake mix (or strawberry). Add 2 eggs and 1/3 cup oil. Mix together. It will be thick, much the consistency of play-doh. Press into a 9x13 pan (I greased with BUTTER), and press in evenly. Bake in 350 degree oven for 14 minutes!! YES, 14 minutes.
Oh YEAH!!!!! Not a great picture, but YUM!!
