Great Idea for Healthy Pizza's! YUMMMY!!
I made spaghetti one night for my small family and had half a jar of sauce left over, so I saved it in the fridge. I have a hard time throwing away food, so I try to 'over lap' my meals whenever possible. It saves me a TON of money, and I don't waste food. Plus sometimes it helps me create new fun things to make. So I was at the store picking up some other things and I walked by the Deli and saw these "Flatout" sundried tomato whole grain wraps. I had a great idea, I'd use the extra sause to make pizza for lunch!
Super easy and if you do it right these are a great healthy way to enjoy pizza.
Spread a thin layer of tomatoe sauce on the flat bread, top with toppings and bake at 350 in the oven for about 8-12 mins. How easy is that? I made a cheese and olive one for my son, and then a Hawaiian one for my husband and I using cheese, canned pineapple and deli cut ham.

Strawberry Coconut Cake!
So after going through my new basket full of goodies I found this coconut and decided to make a dessert with it. I googled Coconut recipes and I found this.
Ingredients:
1 Box white cake mix
1 cup veg. oil
4 large eggs
1 cup flaked coconut
1 pk. (3oz) strawberry flavored gelatin
1/2 cup milk
1 cup chopped pecans
Strawberry Cream Cheese Icing:
1 pk. (8oz) cream cheese, room temp
1/2 stick margarine, room temp
1 teaspoon vanilla
1lbs bag of powdered sugar
Mix cake mix with gelatin, Add oil, egg, coconut and milk; and beat until well blended. Stir in 1 cup pecans. Bake in 2 greased and floured round cake pans (if you put wax paper in the bottom of the pan they will flip out very easy) at 350* for around 30-35 mins.
I topped my cake with a few pecans to make it pretty.
*Yes the cake was so good I waited to eat it before we took the picture*
(optional- the recipe called for fresh strawberries mixed into the cake.. but being allergic I left them out. My family cut them up and topped them on the cake when they ate it with vanilla ice cream and loved it!)
Now tonight for dinner I am making Chicken grape salad on fresh baked rolls! Whoo hoo for being home during the day and for bountiful baskets :)
