I’ve partnered with Fidelity & MEFA for this post in support of the U.Fund Dreams Tour. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting CNC!  At the beginning of April, a year after working with a Speech-Language Pathologist on a regular basis, Quinn graduated   Early Intervention  (EI) with flying colors.

You can add the ingredients in any amounts you prefer. I thought with this series of pita pizza recipes, I would combine the two so you can see that you don’t even really need to measure with some thing. You can’t get much easier or faster
