Ricotta & Tomato Pita Pizza

"Not sure where I got this but it makes a light lunch or quick snack. Sometimes I even have it for breakfast. I prefer whole wheat pita but feel free to use white."

  1. A very tasty and easy to assemble pizza using ingredients I always have around. It will definitely be made often for a quick and healthy lunch.
     
  2. Love simple and tasty recipes and yours fit the bill!! :) Used whole-wheat tortilla instead of pita. This is perfect for a light lunch! Thanks CulinaryQueen! :)
     
  3. I love this! I made this twice - once with ricotta and once with cottage cheese. I prefer cottage cheese on mine, just as a personal preference. I also used a whole wheat pita. I used fresh basil and dried oregano (fresh would definitely have been better). I also cut down on the olive oil and didn't have a problem. I just barely drizzled some oil on my tomatoes and all the spices still stuck to the tomatoes. This was so quick and easy for a weeknight meal, this is definitely going to become a great standby recipe for me! Thanks CulinaryQueen!

<img src=http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p241/CulinaryQueen/thhelloicon.gif> UPDATED: 15 Aug 2007 Hi! Thanks for taking a peek at my page! I'm formally from East Norriton, PA, a suburb of Philadelphia. After 21 years of marriage, got divorced and met a Brit living in the U.S. He decided to come back to his homeland and I came over here about a year later. We were married in October 2005. Here I am down at Viking Bay which is only two miles from our house. My hubby grew up down here and I love living near the seaside. <img src=http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p241/CulinaryQueen/rosebud.gif> <img src=http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p241/CulinaryQueen/love_123.gif> We adopted two rescue cats in May 2007 and now I have some company during the day! (Yeah sure, great company they are when they sleep all day!) Our two 'children'...

I have a husband who can cook! I cook during the week and Peter cooks on the weekends. I have included some of his concoctions in my list of recipes. <img src=http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p241/CulinaryQueen/condimen.gif> Me at the Scotland border, August 2005 <img src=http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p241/CulinaryQueen/Places%20we%20have%20been/19Scotland.jpg> I'm still unemployed which gives me plenty of time to experiment in the kitchen. I love to cook and try different things and 'Zaar has really helped in that aspect. I'd love to start my own business someday selling some of my homemade creations. <img src=http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p241/CulinaryQueen/i_want_it_all.gif> <img src=http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p241/CulinaryQueen/give_me_chocolate_or.gif> <img src=http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p241/CulinaryQueen/zaargroupie.gif> I'm a Betty Boop freak and have loads of stuff that I've collected over the years including a porcelain doll of her in a wedding dress and I even have her tattooed on my ankle. <img src=http://www.gifszone.com/"><img border="0" src="http://www.gifszone.com/content/icon/cartoon/cartoon_10.gif"> ~~~~~~~<img src=http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p241/CulinaryQueen/bettyboop36.gif> I enjoy doing cross stitch, cooking, baking and entertaining and hubby and I love our wines! Some of my pet peeves are bad hygiene, rudeness, bad manners, laziness and people who litter. My favorite cookbook is my Betty Crocker Cookybook. I've had a copy since I was about 12 and it was falling apart. My brother got me a new copy a couple of years ago from ebay and it was a FIRST EDITION and was in excellent condition. Now that I'm here in England, I find myself collecting more cookbooks. I'm going to need another room just for them if I don't cut down a bit! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><img src=http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p241/CulinaryQueen/samethingsticker.jpg> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/1535/CLC1.gif"><img src=http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p241/CulinaryQueen/RegSwap1-1.jpg> <img src="http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/KiwiDutch/3chefstag1.jpg"><img src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f249/Dreamgoddess555/Narrow1-1.jpg"><img src="http://www.pickle.com/plink/ph/795B07337A4704307B51032E7D5E0237795A1C512307476E143E5A652E076C34725B06357F500533140741682C4659712C.jpg" border="0" alt="adoptatagparticipant" title="Photo and Video Sharing"/> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/cookbookswap.jpg> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Drink-Challenge.jpg"> <img src=http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p241/CulinaryQueen/DrinkChallenge.jpg> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://www.tinycounter.com" target="_blank" title="web site hit counter"><img border="0" alt="web site hit counter" src="http://mycounter.tinycounter.com/index.php?user=CulinaryQueen"></a>
