Restaurant Style Salsa

Restaurant Style Salsa – made fresh in just minutes!

Recently, my Husband and I realized something. It will be a long long time before we can go together to a restaurant and actually enjoy the meal. Not inhale it quickly before one of the kids will decide to have a tantrum. Then we are asked how was your food and it takes us a moment to even figure out what we ate! Crazy! Sometimes I feel like I have only half of my brain – being in kids land 24/7 is exhausting.

We don’t want to give up our favorite dishes so I decided to learn how to make them myself. I have a list of dishes from Chili’s, Olive Garden and Outback. I’ made my very favorite Monterey Chicken the other night and it was absolutely amazing!! But that’s for another post.

Tzatziki Flatbread Pizza

June 14, 2013 by Anna

Tzatziki Flatbread Pizza makes for a great lunch during hot summer days and it comes together in just 30 minutes.

This is our favorite lunch of late. Flatbread with tzatziki spread and cucumber slices.

Let’s start with the flatbread. I have been meaning to share this recipe for so long now and it’s finally happening. I think you guys will love it! Just like we do. It comes together in one bowl, there is no yeast involved and it bakes up perfectly to a crunchy base for the toppings. You know how some flatbread recipes will make cardboard-like slab that’s hard as a rock? Well, not this one. It’s perfect on the thickness and the crispiness. It is the best flatbread I’ve ever had! And because there is no yeast in the dough, there is no rising time. Which means you can really save time with this recipe!
