Fun Friday!

Firday here is family fun night. We usually do one of three things:
- play games
- go somewhere super fun (like minature golf, bowling, movies)
-order food (not healthy in the slightest)nand play games/watch TV

So for tonight, the kdis have asked we get BW-3s (that's Buffallo Wild Wings for anyone not from Ohio). The medium sauce doesn't have super bad stuff and it reminds me of my college days so it is hard for me to say no :0. We do eat fried greasy foods a few times a month and the kids know we don't eat like this every night. And beside; it gives me a break :)

So anyway---this is something really easy the kids had for lunch:

Pizza Tortillas

sauce (see below)
whole wheat tortilla
sliced mozerrella (the kind in ball form, please)
parmigina reggiono
fresh veggies (today we are using baby spinach)

Perheat over to 400 degrees.
Place tortilla on baking sheet. Laddle sauce (not too much or you will get a mushy pizza) careful to leave a border for 'crust'. Pile veggies and top with both cheeses. Heat in oven for approx. 7 minutes or until cheese starts to bubble.
Slice in quarters and allow to cool slightly before serving!


Sauce:
Large can crushed tomatoes
1 clove garlic, diced
olive oil
glug of good red wine
fresh basil

In a heavy saucepan, heat up garlic in olive oil. Before garlic browns, add wine to deglaze pan. After most of the alcohol has burned off, add tomatoes and basil. Bring to a boil and then turn low to simmer for approx. 20-30 minutes. You can store extra in freezer for next time :)

(This is a great basic sauce and goes with italian chicken dishes.)
