Hello and Happy Sunday! As you might have figured out, I love cherries and recently heard about a Whole Foods recipe contest using them! I’m totally on board with this (as long as I don’t eat them all first).![]()
The recipe is supposed to be kid friendly so I immediately brainstormed a pizza, but cherries instead of pepperoni – hence the name “Cherreroni” Pizzas.![]()
Cherreroni Pizzas (Makes 4 pizzas)![]()
Ingredients: 4 whole wheat pitas, 1 container honey yogurt (or non-dairy sub), 1 cup pitted, 1 sliced banana, 1 cup sliced honeydew, shredded coconut
Directions:
1. Pit 1 cup of cherries and chop up additional fruits of your choice. I used bananas and honeydew.![]()
2. Toast 4 pitas.
3. Spread 1/4 of the honey flavored yogurt (or flavor of your choice) on a pita.![]()
4. Top with fruit! The kids can help with this step ![]()
![]()
5. Optional – sprinkle some shredded coconut on top.![]()
The coconut is optional, but does make the pizza look more fun! ![]()
Kid tested and approved.(We have my little brother, Matt, staying with us this weekend.)![]()
After our kid friendly breakfast Matt and I headed to Costco for some essentials (read: watermelon and cheesecake). I wish this life sized bear was an essential, but there’s not room in the budget. Boo.![]()
But to my horror, Costco didn’t have any watermelon?!?!?!!? I know. ![]()
That looks delicious! Sad about the watermelon 🙁
Cherrironi = love. You just made my Monday!
I saw that bear at costco too!!!!!
I wanted it so badly but it was just wayyyyy too big to justify buying

I so so wanted to buy it for my little brother, but we’re on a mission to stay on budget this month 🙁
Costco was our of watermelon?????? WTF??!!!! Don’t they know that they are your ‘supplier’?
I’ve had 3 pizzas in the past week, none like this one though! this looks delicious!
yummm healthy pizza..that means I can jump on the overeating train. yayy!!
Also I can’t believe I’ve never mentioned this..but your little brother Matt looks like like my little brother. With the last name Gomez, I get a lot of weird looks because of my blonde hair and blue eyes and pasty white skin, especially when I with my younger sibs who have dark hair, brown eyes and the skin of greek gods…sh*t happens.
hahah
No way! Love the coincidence 🙂
very clever recipe! Good luck, I hope you win some more cherries…and maybe a watermelon.
Yum! So cute. I’ve heard so many people talking about WF cherries lately, it’s hilarious. Apparently I’ve been missing out!
That pizza looks amazing!
I like cherries because they’re easily visable in poop. If I have to wipe a kid’s butt it better have something funny in it -like black frosting makes poop blue. It’s the little things in parenting that make the world go round — give me fun poop please!
-take a shot every time I say “POOP”
That pizza is such a good idea! 🙂
And I love the huge teddy bear too!
no watermelon at costco – bastards! shouldn’t costco’s watermelon be the biggest watermelon ever. and shouldn’t it come in packs of 20? that would be my heaven.
That looks good! And I love that it’s not a strict 1 tsp of this, 2tbs of that recipe and is flexible as far as substituting different types of fruits or yogurt.
This is a great recipe! I need to bookmark this for when my nieces come to visit. thanks for sharing! And how in the world did Costco didn’t have watermelon?! That is just un-American, especially in the summer.
