Flatbreads are a great summertime snack. An alternative to the traditional pizza; with the chance to try out adventurous topping combinations and of course they are great for sharing. The ones I love to serve up to friends include the following… Squash, Caramelized Onions, Sausage from Clean Eating Brussel Sprouts and Bacon from Gimme Some Oven Roasted Tomato, Corn and Zucchini from Blue Bowl Recipes
