Tikka Masala Pizza

So, when I make dishes that are not familiar to me, I Google them so I know of what I speak …….

I found Tikka Masala to be an interesting story, why you ask??? It was created by accident……sorta how I cook!

The story goes that a Bangladeshi chef served a dish of traditional Chicken Tikka only to be asked by a British diner, “Where’s the gravy?” The miffed chef tossed in can of creamy tomato soup and spices and responded, “You want gravy?

Garlic Chicken French Bread Pizza was easy, fast and flavorful. No crust making required. All you needed was to slice bread, layer ingredients and bake!

How many snacky, trail mixy, dried fruit and nut mixes are there?………hundreds, thousands……perhaps, I exaggerate, but there are plenty of them. The one thing they all seem to have in common……….raisins. I really do not like raisins. I am not sure why, but I just don’t.

Sorry California Raisins……..but I’m sure, you heard it through the grapevine that you are not my favorite thing. I dumped you for other dries fruits. I love, love, love dried cranberries. I will eat them on anything. I have the same feeling about dried pineapple, those sweet, chewy, nuggets……..hmmm.

Tim and I look at all those mixes at the store, but have a hard time choosing because of my raisin aversion.  So, we usually don’t buy them, or if we do, I end up picking out the raisins….what a pain!
