Embarrassingly easy dessert/snack

We're not normally dessert eaters unless one of two things happens, the first being we are at the Cheesecake Factory, the second being I totally belly flop on dinner.

Tonight was one of the latter - the turkey burgers were not delicious. At all.

So scrambling for a dessert idea (since I guess wine doesn't count -- what?), I went to this crazy easy/simple/sweet treat. I'm not sure where I learned this recipe. It might have been highschool Spanish class, orrrrrrrr I came up with it in my brain. Maybe...maybe?

















- You need cinnamon, sugar, tortillas and some water...and an oven
- Preheat oven to 350
- Mix however much sugar and cinnamon you want
- Spread a little water over the top of the tortilla
- Quarter the tortilla (I use a pizza cutter)
- Dip the watered side in the cinnamon sugar mix
- Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until crispy to your liking
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt and save extra "chips" for a snack

Dinner saved.

So easy it shouldn't taste this good.

E loves pizza. We're convinced he could eat it every day. Statistics show that if I ask my husband what he wants for dinner, 90% of the time he'll say pizza. Do you see my problem?

I came across an awesome recipe (check out this book) for barbecue chicken pizza. I knew this would be risky; E's last experience with barbecue chicken pizza did not meet his taste requirements. It was do or die, folks.

Victory is sweet, in this case, in the form of delicious pizza. Here's the recipe:

1 pizza crust (You can make your own, if you like. For the first attempt, I used a pre-made Pillsbury crust.)
1+ cup of cubed chicken, cooked
1/2 cup of chosen barbecue sauce (or more, if you'd like)
Mozzarella cheese

1. Follow the instructions for your pizza crust. With the Pillsbury crust, I always bake it for 5-7 minutes before adding the toppings.
2. Add barbecue sauce, chicken, and cheese, in whichever order you want. :)
3. Resume instructions for baking your pizza.
4. Enjoy with drink of choice.

Ye-ah, buddy.
I wish I could e-relay how easy this recipe is in relation to how awesome it tastes.
