World's Easiest and Best Tasting Dinner...Ever

Ok, so the whole cooking with job and baby is starting to show signs of coming together. Although I'm signed up for a hundred different daily emails that purport to give me easy recipes for dinner that very night, it's actually rarely the case. To be clear, people who make such claims, an easy recipe that I will actually make must include the following characteristics:

1. it must not take more than 10 minutes to prepare (chopping a bazillion veggies or making my own dough or pasta although I'm sure makes a dish better will never happen for me in the near future... never). I don't care if it takes 3 hours to cook, it's the preparation that always kills it for me.

2. it must only have ingredients that I have on hand or maybe just maybe can be found at my corner store. Like for example any recipe that includes the following ingredients are automatically out: okra, rutabaga, wasabi paste, rapini, blue cheese (really, do you have blue cheese in your fridge right now, really?)

3. in fact, generally speaking it should only include ingredients that keep for more than a day in my fridge I have lots to do and can really only manage to go to the store on Sunday. I realize this means I am generally more prone to scurvy.

So yes, lots of good ideas and good intentions out there - and so far I generally think the daily recipes from Everyday Food are the best (sign up for the email at www.everydayfood.com) - but all the best suggestions come from, you guessed it, my mom.

And this is a good one. Really good. We're going to have it at least 1x/week for the next 6 weeks. And then I will be completely sick of it and will never have it again but right now, pure genius!

Not surprisingly, it includes a lot of President's Choice products. I swear I receive no money from Loblaws despite my undying love for most things they produce. It's a pizza. An easy, relatively healthy totally easy pizza. Enjoy!

1 Original PC Flatbread

2 Cup Tomato Sauce

Bunch of Fresh Basil

3 tbls dried oregano

S&P

1 ball of mozzarella

3 cups Organics pre-washed Arugula

EVOO

Preheat oven to 400. Make your pizza sauce by combining the tomato sauce with dried oregano and s&p to taste. Spread over Flatbread and top with slices (don't grate - takes too much time!) of mozza and a ton of fresh basil (even I have this growing in a little pot outside - so if I have this you should too). Pop in the oven for 10 minutes. Top with a pile of arugula and drizzle with evoo.

Yummers.
