Pita's Please





I love pita chips -- they're so crunchy and yummy and there's really nothing to them -- but they're so stinkin' good!  They are especially good with hummus that's been drizzled with a bit of olive oil and sprinkled with the fresh ground citrus pepper blend stuff that we have stuffed in the pantry!  Also, I get to be alone when I eat pita chips!  My kids can't STAND the sound of the constant crunch of them and they always say, "Mom, we'll be back around when you're done with those things!"  It's been days since I've seen them . . .and I have more bags of these things than they can imagine!  HA!

But, as much as I love pita chips, I saw a recipe for "homemade" pitas and thought I'd give it a try and share it with you!  How bad can it be . . .and if we don't like them, then we won't make them again, will we?

Seasoned and Baked Pita Chips

3 pita rounds (I use whole wheat)
1/3 cup olive oil
4 TBSP Italian seasoning
1 tsp. garlic salt

Split pita rounds in half, horizontally (doesn't that make sense?!).  Cut each 1/2 into 8 wedges.  Mix oil and remaining ingredients together and brush over each wedge, on the rough side.  (I don't know why -- it's what the directions said to do!).  Place on lightly greased cookie sheet or silpat (my favorite) and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until lightly browned and crisped.

Move to cooling rack and let cool completely.  Enjoy!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out!

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned.  We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
