[column width=”47%” padding=”6%”] Friday’s Fritatta. Sunday’s spaghetti. Alliterations aside, these meals have kept us going through some very busy days!

Hot Pita Lovin’
I saw a recipe on thefreshloaf.com for Pita bread and recalled I had a can of chickpeas in the pantry that would make a super nice hummus. Paired up with the falafel and the bounty of vegetables we have on hand.. well, it was a formula for Mediterranean Night!
