Sunday Funday

Happy summer!!! Happy Sunday! What a glorious day! The weather is gorgeous. While it could be slightly warmer out, no worries we have a couple different recipes for y'all today! First let us start by saying we had a special guest today! Our dear friend Erica from college has moved to Boston and we couldn't be  more excited!!!!

We started out with a little app, then some sangria and pizza, topped by a couple 'a cones from JP Licks!

For the app -- We did tomato and mozzarella. First let us say that Tori HATES tomatoes but she ate the whole thing. This was really really simple. We just sliced a tomato, added a basil leaf, and then added a slice of fresh mozzarella on top. It's so easy to pull together and so so so delicious.

Next up-- Sangria! Who doesn't love Sangria? Today we went with a white sangria.
We used:
-2 bottles of pinot grigio.
- 1 bottle mandarin seltzer
-2 peaches- diced
- 1/2 cup of smirnoff sorbet lite- mango passion fruit
- 1/2 of mango OJ from TJs.


Chill until serving

Main Course-- Pizza. This was a weight watchers recipe inspired by Laalosh: http://www.laaloosh.com/2008/11/11/weight-watchers-pizza-recipe/
We took our own take on the recipe mainly because Tori doesn't have a grill LOL

We used:
-3 tortillas by Joseph
-pizza sauce (eyeballed)
-3 slices of provolone cheese (divided)
- 2 tablespoons of parmesean cheese divided evenly
-shitake mushrooms sliced and divided evenly
- diced onion
-handful of mozzarella cheese sprinkled on each.

First we heated the oven to 400 and warmed the tortillas for 6 minutes . Then we added the pizza sauce, onions, cheeses and mushrooms. We returned to the oven and cooked for 10 minutes. Then we feasted and served with sangria. They were delicious. This was the first recipe in a few that we were seriously content with. This was really easy to make and would definitely be a good and quick after work dinner. For our friends doing weight watches out there the pizza was about 5 points! Can't speak for the sangria:)
