Vegetarian Pita Pizza

I love these, they are very healthy and so quick and simple to make. The beauty of this meal is that you can make each one your own. For example, I smothered my whole wheat pita with fig goat cheese, and topped off with artichoke hearts, mushrooms, tomatoes, capers and red onions.  Bake in oven at 190 F for 20 minutes. I'm looking forward to making the next one, with basil pesto ricotta, and chicken.

Christmas Broccoli - Romanesco

With the help of my friend this neat vegetable has been identified as romanesco broccoli, also known as Roman cauliflower. When I came across the beautiful vegetable flower I knew I had to share it with you. It dates back to 16th C Italy. It's absolutely visually striking, and it makes me happy to know that this is not a genetically modified food, but rather mother natures touch.
