    I'm pretty sure I'm losing my mind. With Christmas preparations, the boys' holiday activities and performances, and working ahead on my holiday posts for the blog, I can barely think straight when it comes to dinnertime prep. Earlier this week, I was in one of those bad places that you find yourself in when you're trying to juggle too many things. There was a good chance that dinner wasn't going to happen.

    Then I realized that I had some whole wheat pita breads in the pantry (I used these ones) and chicken sausages in the fridge. Pita pizzas!

    There wasn't even a tablespoon of tomato sauce to be found, so I cracked open a can of petite diced tomatoes, spread them on the pita bread and sprinkled some ground oregano on top. I actually loved the texture they added to the pizza!

    Precooked chicken sausages are regularly inhabitants of our freezer, as they defrost quickly and are great to have on hand for quick meals, such as this One-Pot Sausage & Bean Ragout, Quick Farro with Sausage, Tomatoes & Arugula or pasta with pesto, sausages and veggies (our favorite). For these pita pizzas, the sausages just need to be sliced and layered on top before everything is baked together.

    Twenty minutes after my near-meltdown over dinner prep, I was pulling the pizzas out of the oven, which is probably faster than the time it would take to pick up a prepared meal somewhere. Cheaper and healthier, too!

        Many so called locksmiths" that are fraudsters will certainly not also attempt to pick the lock yet pierce it out, rip it out, and charge you to have it changed.

        Such a great idea. I'll have to look for the whole wheat pitas. Love the new logo.

        AHH...this was me tonight! I pulled out some naan bread (I found mini size) added goat cheese, some fig preserves, and threw them into the oven (topped them with arugula when they were done.) Since it was just my teen daughter and I, it was quick and tasty. We love goat cheese with fig. I love you idea as well and will have to try it next time.

        I know exactly what you mean, there are so many things to get done during the holidays. I need easy recipes because I find myself working right up to dinnertime. Pita pizzas are perfect and with those toppings, they're sure to be a hit!
