Garlicky Kale Pita Pizza

I wanted something filling and yummy for lunch and then I remembered a recipe that I copied off almost a year ago that I wanted to try. It called for goat cheese. Upon inspection of our goat cheese I knew that I would not be adding that to the recipe. Maybe next time. I headed out to the garden and picked some kale and the fun began. This ended up being so good. I was a little scared because of the kale. The last kale I had was really bitter. Maybe picking it straight from the garden helps that problem.

Garlicky Kale Pita Pizza

1 whole wheat pita
2 cloves garlic, minced
About 1-2 C kale, chopped
olive oil
Mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Saute the garlic and kale in a little bit of olive oil until the kale is wilted.
On the pita spread just about 1 teaspoon of olive oil and then top with mozzarella cheese, however much you want.
Put the kale on top of the cheese and bake until the edges of the pita are browned and the cheese has melted.

SO GOOD! Next time we will try it with goat cheese.

Cracked Wheat Hot Cereal

I am convinced that the absolutely best things in the world are the simple things. Simple as cracked wheat. A friend of mine had cracked some wheat in her blender hoping for flour and then decided to just give it all to me because she didn't know what to do. I made up some cracked wheat hot cereal to have her taste so she can see how good it is and then ground up a lot of her other wheat into flour to give it all back to her.
The possibilities are endless with this cereal. You could add cinnamon, brown sugar and raisins or just butter and sugar like I did here. Honey and pecans would be amazing in it. It's just really good. Anyway, here is another way to use your wheat. And all you need is wheat and a blender!


Cracked Wheat Hot Cereal
1/2 C cracked wheat
1 1/2 C water (you could use milk for a creamier consistency)

In saucepan get the water hot and then add the wheat. Cook until the water is almost all cooked into the cereal. Add whatever you want for taste. I did 1 T butter in the water here and then 2 T sugar.

To crack your wheat just run it through your blender until you get small chunks of wheat!
