There is something about enjoying a beautifully plated lunch while dining al fresco that just screams summer to me.
At least that’s what it felt like to me today. The temperature outside is amazing and there is barely a cloud in the sky. I figured if I am going to be stuck inside at my desk for the other 8 hours of my day, I might as well enjoy at least one of them outside.
To top off the great weather, I also ate a great lunch.
My whole wheat pita pizza was topped with marinara sauce, kale, artichoke hearts, sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, and swiss cheese then baked at 415 for 5 minutes.
The pizza was simple, yet delicious.
On the side a refreshing pear.
My mid-morning snack was a serving of peanut butter pretzels.
Welcome to Titusville, FL

Ha ha, love small towns as well as small town movie makers
And that pizza looks great, I’m so envious of your lovely Florida weather. Send some up here!
This reminds me of last summer when I interned down on Hilton Head Island. The weather was gorgeous and the beach was steps away but I was stuck at my desk for 8 hours!! I would park my car super far away just so I could savor the sunshine for a few more steps.
Haha! Wpw that video really sells the place…love it!!
Great pizza, and I agree with Chloe – I want some hot weather!
Oh goodness! I couldn’t imagine growing up in such a small town. I grew up in Boston – right in the city. I used to take the subway to school.
that pizza looks great! did you go home from work for lunch or reheat it today? it looks awesome!
I always go home for lunch
Where did you get that dish?
My brother bought it for me for Christmas. I think he got it at Kohls?
Ha! That video is funny and reminds me of Ben’s hometown
Where he wants me to move 
Yum — homemade pizza is on the menu for tonight and I can’t wait! So much goodness.
I was born and raised in Washington, DC, and can’t imagine growing up in a small town like that.
Ahaha Love the video.
And that pizza looks really good!
Yum!!! That pizza looks so good. Do you just use a regular size whole wheat pita as the crust?
That pizza looks delicious!!! I need to get my hands on some pitas.
WOW that looks REALLY delicious!
Yum, I had some of those pretzels today too. So good! Haha oh gotta love small towns!
Haha, “most bestest place in the world” is quite an honor for your hometown
.
I think some students made a similar video of our town…it was equally charming.
P.S. I’m having pizza envy right now! Looks so good.
Ahh, T-ville! Hahaha, I have relatives there who we always visit on our Florida trips. It is so boring! And that river! It smells so bad! I do love Sunshine Bread. And sitting on the porch playing cards. However, it’s always great to drive on back to where we stay (with other relatives) in Winter Park at the end of the visit…
Did you go to Astronaut High School?
Yep. Class of ’03. Go War Eagles!
nerd
Gotta love small town central Florida!
What a delicious looking pizza! Perfect for a sunny meal outdoors!!!
I love pizzas like that. I open the fridge and see what I can throw on for the day.
That pizza looks delish. LOVE ARTICHOKES.
Is this video funny? I really want to watch but can’t at work. Drat!
Gotta enjoy that nice weather while you can! Love the pizza….yum
(1) Please go to the roller skating rink.
(2) Astronaut High School? That is awesome!
The funny thing is the skating rink was THE place to go when I was in elementry school, but it burnt down a few years back. I’m actually surprised its in this video.
Ha! That video reminds me of my hometown growing up.
My husband grew up in Vero Beach and years ago his dad used to commute to Titusville for work. His favorite restaurant? Dixie Crossroads.
That pizza looks amazing.
Hey, my town doesn’t even have a wal mart, mall, movie theater, or bowling alley. We do have a mcdonalds (only one. lol) and a 7-11. We have a museum too! haha (it’s va, I think it’s mandatory for towns/cities to have museums in virginia lol)
(where I work, lucky me lol)
lol
That video was hilarious
We also have our own little overpriced seafood restaurant
Unfortunately, my town doesn’t have a song
I love eating outside, but it has actually been a little warm for that lately at lunch time
I’m currently at the library (where you cannot eat food, yet I always try and get caught) and feel like RUNNING out of here to go get some pretzels!!!!!!!!!!!
I love eating lunch and dinner outside in the summer! It feels like being at an outdoor cafe, or something
So these whole wheat pita pizzas?
I’ve been SCARFING THEM DOWN WITH WILD ABANDON.
(They’re like the “kitchen sink” pizza for me – anything random or left over or going bad next goes on top!)
–with copious amounts of garlic salt.
hooray!
What a great pizza and I love those PB preztels! My mother-in-law always has them out and I can go to town! haha!
LOVE the idea of adding artichoke to the pizza…YUM!
That video was pretty funny…I think most people feel that way about their hometowns! When I go home (which is rare, since it’s hundreds and hundreds of miles away!) I’m always really glad I don’t live there! But when I met kids/young adults who live in the town I live now, they’re always wondering why the heck I would want to live here!
loveee juicy pears- had one for lunch as well
HAHAHAHA that video!! Hilarious!
That video is HYSTERICAL!
Delicious pizza! It got rave reviews from my husband and neighbours. Thanks!
