I LOVE flat-breads because its so easy to make it work for everyone!!! You can simply put what the picky members of your family like on one side.... and the not-so picky (healthier) options on the other! Thankfully, my family is really good to eat whatever I fix, however, my son is very active and my husband is as well, (and he's a big guy) so they need more food, more fat, more carbs... etc etc than me.
Here's how I made my rustic quinoa crust Greek flat-bread
You can make the crust as big as you need to fit your family.
As much Quinoa flakes as you need, (depending on the size you want your crust) Then just add egg whites until the cereal forms a dough consistency when mixing with your hands. you can add a little water if you want. :) Then add your spices to taste. Garlic salt, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, parsley.
Flatten your dough out onto a greased Cookie sheet and cook on 400 until crisp on top but still slightly pliable. The crust tastes nutty and good, but it is very dry. Make it THIN!!!!
Top the pizza with homemade hummus, (simply garbanzo beans, garlic, salt, splash of lemon juice, olive oil. blend it up) Then I added artichokes, olives, tomatoes, onion & feta.
(FYI, Remember how I always tell you to get to know what works for your body. just because something is healthy doesn't mean you can eat as much of it as you want. so, to that end. I had already had PLENTY of carbs and protein for the day FOR ME, so I left the hummus off of my side of the pizza. It's perfectly healthy, I just didn't need it today. I used the quinoa crust as my protein so I didn't add meat to the pizza. I also added extra Provolone cheese to my family's side of the pizza)
Then bake everything again on 400 until cheese is melted.
For the avocado hummus. I used the extra hummus from the pizza and added a ripe avocado to it.
Simple summer squash soup!!! I LOVE summer squash. This is just steamed summer squash, put in a blender with salt, pepper, garlic salt, onion powder, cumin, curry! (It's a little spicy, I ate a HUGE bowl and LOVED IT. My hubby added sour cream to his)
