momma mia meets opa!

from the very beginning mark and i have enjoyed cooking together.  we always try to make it elaborate and go all out when creating a new meal. usually its a theme related to the culture of the foods we are working with...           and last night was one of our best greek pizza nights ever!

this is the second time we have made our own greek pizza (which are inspired by last years greek festival here in columbus, they are amazing!) and i think we have mastered it.

this time around we added hot banana peppers and it was absolutely perfect!  in case you want to try it here is our (not so formal) recipe.

-preheat oven to 450

-we cheat and buy the crust at the store :) and it should be 12 inches

-1/2 cup light mayo

-4 minced cloves of garlic

-1 cup feta cheese ( to be divided in half )

-1 tablespoon olive oil

-vine tomatos

-red onion

-baby spinach

-kalamata olives

-banana peppers :)

1.) mix mayo, garlic, 1/2 cup feta cheese in a small dish.  spread mix over crust and top with oregano and sliced olives. Bake about 10 minutes. 

2.) toss spinach, onion, and tomatos in oil. top pizza with the veggie mixture and the other 1/2 cup of feta.  return to oven for about 2-3 minutes.  

it was wonderful and i hope you give it a try and add your own spin.  i promise your home will smell incredible too!

were planning on trying lots of new recipes that we have never done before  and also changing the way we eat ... i'm sure i'll be sharing on a regular basis.

happy baking!

peace & love~
