Week 26 Friday (7/11/14)




Recipe Review

Today’s Recipe and Location:           Easy Flatbread Pizza
         Found in: The Pioneer Woman blog

         For all of you health nuts, here is the pizza for you! This one was created with flatbread – very different than the puffed pastry pizza presented earlier in the week.  Ree put mushrooms, tomatoes, and a choice of either zucchini, squash, or eggplant. Need I say more?  As a person who rarely eats veggies, this one is a nightmare for this meat and potatoes girl.  I’m sticking with pizzas for the Marlboro Man, sorry Ree.
