Take-out Tuesday, Festive Flatbread
We love pizza and flatbread around here
On busy days it sure makes an easy dinner
And homemade is so much better than take-out!
HH fixed this fabulous one for my birthday dinner
He topped a very thin crust with a layer of Fleming’s Blue Cheese Dressing*
Then added asparagus, pear slices, and prosciutto
*or use ranch dressing or your favorite creamy bottled dressing
I was in heaven!
He also recently made a similar one that was all vegetable
Asparagus, corn, mushrooms, red onion and cheese
There was not a sauce on this one, he lightly brushed the partially baked crust with olive oil
then added the vegetables and cheese
So good!
You won’t even miss the meat,
but chicken and/or of course, bacon, would be great additions
Pizza does not have to be heavy, greasy and loaded with calories
A thin crust, fresh vegetables and low calorie cheeses make a satisfying meal for the busiest of days!

We love flatbread and pizza. HHjr is quite the chef, it looks delicious. Thankfully we were spared the bad storms…have a wonderful day Jenna!
I have to fight to get in the kitchen these days, but that’s fine with me 🙂
Mmmmm! Mmmmm! I may make this tonight! Yum!
thanks Nancy!
This sounds amazing!!!
Thanks Michelle, it was really good 🙂
Oh my! This looks so good! I have never made my own pizza at home, but it sure looks good and easy enough. I wonder if the Naan bread would work? It’s very tasty too. Thanks Jenna.
Oh definitely, I use naan all the time, the small naans are great for personal pizzas! Thanks Cyndi!
LOVE flatbreads! Thanks for this one!
Sure!
Sounds like a great meal and, oh look… It’s dinner time:@)
Always love flatbread! 😋
Yum!!
Me too!
Both sound good, Jenna!! I would not have thought to use salad dressing on pizza! Thanks for the recipes! 😃
It makes a great base for the toppings!
Jenna, pizza is my most favorite food in the whole world! I think I could eat it at least once a week, and this looks most scrumptious! Enjoy the rest of your week!
Me too Shannon! Thank you!
Delicious Jenna! I know you’re loving your pizza oven too, weather permitting!
HHjr cooked some awesome roasted potatoes in it last weekend, sooo good!
These are great flatbread, we will really enjoy it! Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and thanks so much for sharing with us at Full Plate Thursday!
