Sausage & Goat Cheese Pumpkin Flatbread

Remember this pic from my Facebook page?  Guess I had pumpkin on my mind that day?!

The Pumpkin Pie Bark was just ok but the Pumpkin Bread Mix...WOW!  It was awesome!  My mom can vouch for that. ;)  And the candle, of course, smells amazing.  However, I was a little stumped on what do with the Pumpkin Pasta Sauce other than heat it up and toss it with some pasta...delicious but boring.  So, I came up with this creation below!

Here is how I made it...

Sausage & Goat Cheese Pumpkin Flatbread

Ingredients:

1 Flatout Flatbread (I like to use Multi-Grain with Flax.)

1/2 cup of Pumpkin Pasta Sauce (This one is from The Fresh Market.)

Mild Italian sausage, browned and drained

Mushrooms, sliced and sauteed

Goat cheese, crumbled

Directions: 

Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.  Bake just the Flatout at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until crisp.  Take it out, flip it over, and top with the Pumpkin Sauce, mushrooms, sausage, and goat cheese.  Put the whole thing back in the oven and bake until the cheese begins to turn golden, about 10 more minutes.  Serves 1.

Enjoy!

I've got a new twist on my "go-to" make your own pizza for you today!  The original Make Your Own Pizza is awesome and definitely a staple in our household.  But sometimes, I want something different so I tried this Chicken & Apple BBQ combo and it was deeelish!

Here is the recipe:

Chicken & Apple BBQ Flatbread

Ingredients:

1 Flatout Flatbread (I used Multi-Grain with Flax.)

2 tablespoons (or more) BBQ sauce (I like Sweet Baby Ray's Original.)
1 cooked chicken breast, chopped or thinly sliced
1/4 of an apple, thinly sliced (I like Gala apples the best.)
1/4 cup reduced fat cheddar cheese, shredded
Ranch dressing for drizzle

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.  Bake just the Flatout for 10 minutes or until crisp.  Take it out and flip it over.  Spread the BBQ sauce on the flatbread.  Next, layer the chicken, apple slices, and top with the shredded cheddar cheese.  I like to put the cheese on last to seal it all together!  Put it back in the oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 10 more minutes.  Serves 1.

I originally tried it with a honey mustard drizzle but it was too tangy with the bite of the barbecue sauce.  So the second time around, I used a ranch drizzle with a much better outcome.  The creaminess of the ranch balanced out the bite of the barbecue sauce for a tasty combination!  If you want a more melted cheese, use regular cheese not a reduced fat version.

Enjoy!

Ham & Pineapple BBQ Flatbread

My husband has been traveling quite a bit lately so I'm cooking for one again.  When I used to have a night alone (before baby), I'd search out a new recipe online and look forward to strolling leisurely through the grocery store finding the ingredients with the anticipation of  what was to come.  At home, I'd pour myself a glass of wine and spend the evening getting lost in the dish I was making.  Now, I look forward to baby in bed at 8:00pm, a quick dinner, a glass of red wine, and the couch with a good book or with my laptop and good show!

For a quick dinner, I love this "go-to" Make Your Own Pizza.  However, one night I decided to spice it up a little with some ingredients I already had on hand.  Check out this delicious new twist on an old staple!

Ham & Pineapple BBQ Flatbread

Ingredients:

1 Flatout Flatbread (I used Multi-Grain with Flax.)

1/4 cup BBQ sauce (I like Sweet Baby Ray's Original.)
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons pineapple, crushed
2 slices deli ham, rolled separately and sliced (I like Boar's Head.)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.  Bake just the Flatout for 10 minutes or until crisp.  Take it out and flip it over.  Mix the BBQ sauce and honey together.  Top the flatbread with the honey BBQ sauce.  Next, add the shredded mozzarella cheese, ham, and pineapple.  Put it back in the oven and bake until cheese is melted, about 10 more minutes.  Serves 1.

The sweet tangy honey BBQ sauce is the perfect match for the savory ham and juicy pineapple.

Enjoy!
