I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to top some of last weeks meals, but I'll definitely try! We really enjoyed the shrimp fritters and the cheesy vegetable soup. The soup was a perfect way to welcome to chillier whether today. I hope you enjoyed those as well, and here we go with Week 5. There's a repeat this week, because hubby specifically requested it. Can you guess which one? :-)

Pita Pizzas
Be as creative as you want with these! Just find some medium/large size whole wheat pitas, add tomato sauce/pizza sauce and top with your favorite toppings! Pop in the oven for 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees.
You know one I might try? A pita, drizzled with olive oil, topped with sliced tomatoes and basil, sprinkled with mozzarella cheese. Mmmmm. I'm looking forward to Tuesday.

Salsa Chicken and Rice
This one is EASY! You need 4 chicken breasts, your favorite salsa and white or brown rice. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a 9 x 13 inch glass baking dish with cooking spray (or coat with thin layer of olive oil), lay chicken breasts flat and season with salt and pepper. Cover chicken breasts with 1 to 1/2 cups of salsa. If you do this an hour ahead of time, the chicken can marinade for increased juiciness! Bake chicken for 30-35 minutes, or cooked through.
Meanwhile, prepare white or brown rice. In the name of being easy, go for instant! Serve rice and chicken side by side with some salsa drizzled on top.
