Summer Flatbreads...

So after all that exercise chatter yesterday...let's get back to the food, right?? :)  Dinner last night was completely summer-y!  We had dueling flatbreads for dinner;)  (or pizzas, but flatbreads just SOUNDS healthier, no?:)

We started with whole wheat dough rolled out into small ovals.  While Scott was busy grilling the dough, I got busy mixing up the (low fat) ricotta cheese topping for both...

Scott went the traditional route and I mixed up the ricotta with salt, pepper, crushed garlic & oregano...

While I took a step on the SWEET side and whipped up the ricotta with a tablespoon of honey and some cinnamon...

Scott brought the crusts in and I slathered the mixes on the cooked side of the crusts...

And finished them off with the toppings:  grilled tomato, basil & olive oil for Scott...andddddd for me: a mix of grilled and fresh chopped PEACHES with cinnamon basil!!! (courtesy of 'my herb dealer':)

This dinner was putting to use the BEST of what summer has to offer...fresh ingredients!  The honey-kissed cheese with the mildly tart & VERY smokey peaches mixed with the chewy crust and just the SUBTLE kick of cinnamon in the basil all blended together just as I had hoped! :)  Wonderful!

And ya know...how could this be bad??  I even had to steal a bite because Scott was chewing just too slowly and I had to help him along since the smoky, garlicky whiffs just kept dancing past my nose;)

Again, I can't stress the awesomeness of the grill on pizza dough!  Roll it out thin enough and it is cracker-y crisp, but will still hold up to all of those toppings....just perfect!  You MUST try it!!

For dessert last night, I reached into the freezer for this... 
"Light Touch Foods" makes these AMAZINNNGGGGG frozen "cheesecake pies" in all different flavors.  But, GASP, shockingly enough...coconut is my favorite:)  It tastes like a frozen cheesecake mixed with a coconut cream Tastycake pie all with a mere FRACTION of the calories & fat.  136 calories, 4 grams of fat and 8 (EIGHT!!) grams of PROTEIN for this whole little pie!  Awesome!! :)
Local Folks can pick them up in the freezer case at "Deliteful Foods" in Lawrenceville, or you can order them in bulk here!

Is it Friday yet??  This week was going pretty quick, till I woke up with a headache this morning!  Isn't that the worst???  Coffee, STAT! :)
