Greek Pizza

I had a similar pizza the other day
-&-
it was delicious!?!
This was the closest recipe I could find!?!

Ingredients:

* 1/2 cup mayonnaise
* 4 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 cup crumbled feta cheese, divided
* 1 (12 inch) pre-baked Italian pizza crust
* 1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, coarsely chopped
* 1 tablespoon oil from the sun-dried tomatoes
* 1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
* 1 teaspoon dried oregano
* 2 cups baby spinach leaves
* 1/2 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced

Directions:

1. Adjust oven rack to lowest position, and heat oven to 450 degrees. Mix mayonnaise, garlic and 1/2 cup feta in a small bowl. Place pizza crust on a cookie sheet; spread mayonnaise mixture over pizza, then top with tomatoes, olives and oregano. Bake until heated through and crisp, about 10 minutes.

2. Toss spinach and onion with the 1 Tb. sun-dried tomato oil. Top hot pizza with spinach mixture and remaining 1/2 cup feta cheese. Return to oven and bake until cheese melts, about 2 minutes longer. Cut into 6 slices and serve.

*You can substitute the Kalamata Olives for canned black olives and the Sun Dried Tomatoes for fresh chopped tomatoes.*



Today I am thankful that God made some many different people so we had so many different delicious foods to choose from!?!

The Obama Stamp

The Postal Services created a stamp with a picture of President Obama on it!?!
The Postal Service noticed that the stamp was not sticking to envelopes!?!
This enraged the President, who demanded a full investigation!?!
After a month of testing -&- $1.73 million in congressional spending, a special Presidential commission presented the following findings:
1.The stamp is in perfect order!?!
2.There is nothing wrong with the glue!?!
3. Democrats were licking the BACK side of the stamp until there was no adhesive left!?!
And Republicans were spitting on the front side of it !?!


Today I am thankful that this "stamp" will never see the real light of day!?!

Preparation:

Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 375°F. Butter 2 baking sheets.

Whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.

Beat together butter, sugars, egg, and vanilla in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Mix in carrots, nuts, and raisins at low speed, then add flour mixture and beat until just combined.

Drop 1 1/2 tablespoons batter per cookie 2 inches apart on baking sheets and bake, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until cookies are lightly browned and springy to the touch, 12 to 16 minutes total. Cool cookies on sheets on racks 1 minute, then transfer cookies to racks to cool completely.

While cookies are baking, blend cream cheese and honey in a food processor until smooth.

Sandwich flat sides of cookies together with a generous tablespoon of cream cheese filling in between.


Today I am thankful that now I can have my Carrot Cake in a bite size cookies - it is the little things in life that make me happy - LOL!?!
