We found this recipe in our "Eating for Life" cookbook and were instantly hooked! This is a frequent weekend lunch in our house.
Ingredients (per person):
4 oz uncooked chicken breast
1 whole wheat pita pocket
2 Tbs. BBQ sauce
1/4 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 thin slice red onion
2 tsp. fresh or 1/2 tsp. dried rosemary
Preheat your oven to 425. Cook the chicken in a pan, cool slightly and chop OR chop into bite sized pieces before cooking. Top each pita with the BBQ sauce, cheese, onion, chicken, rosemary and then just a little extra cheese on top. Bake pizzas for 5-7 minutes or until warmed through. Yum!

Maple Bourbon Blondies
I think I'm starting to understand why Shaun likes to go hang with the guys on Friday nights so much now. Whenever he goes over there, I get the urge to bake. Tonight I whipped up these little baddies - so delish. They baked up cakier than I expected, but they were still awesome; not too sweet, just enough kick from the bourbon.
(Adapted from Best Ever Cookie Collection)
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup maple syrup (the real stuff please!)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon bourbon or whiskey
Preheat your oven to 350 and lightly butter an 8x8 baking dish. Sift the flour, salt and baking powder together into a large bowl. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium low heat. Stir in brown sugars until well combined; remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup. Allow to cool to lukewarm. Once cooled, add your eggs one at a time and stir to combine. Add the vanilla and bourbon. Add the liquid ingredients to your flour mixture and stir to combine (I like to use my hand mixer for this to ensure a smooth texture). Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the center is set; the edges will be golden and starting to pull away from the pan.
This is a great recipe for add-ins; chocolate chips or toasted nuts would be amazing, even though I didn't have any.
