From a Facebook Buy and Sell page, I managed to get free back issues of Real Simple magazines.
Did I really need inspiration for a "Life Made Easier?" Well, for quick and delicious meal ideas, that's for sure. I've been working many hours and wanted fresh and healthy in a jiffy. I'm also a sucker for magazines.
So here's my take on a Real Simple and versatile meal- I served this for lunch and everyone loved, loved, loved it!
Pita and Cherry Tomato Toasts (serves 4, vegetarian)
1/3 cup olive oil
4 piece pkg. of white pita bread
8 oz. container of store-bought roasted garlic hummus
1/4 cup each minced fresh herbs of your choice (I used parsley and mint)
2 cups cherry tomatoes, tri-colours
1/2 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
1 cup baby arugula
paprika and freshly ground pepper to taste
Preheat oven 300°F. Brush one side of each pita bread with olive oil and place them all on one baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 12min. Set aside.

While the pitas are toasting, chop your herbs.

Add the herbs to your container of roasted garlic hummus along with the leftover olive oil and mix.

Top your warm pitas with the herbed hummus, then tomatoes, Feta cheese, freshly ground pepper, arugula, more fresh herbs, perhaps a drizzle more olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika.
