About a year ago, STC and I started incorporating some family traditions that the kids could count on.  One of them has gone stronger than any other: Pizza Friday.  Not only is it quick, easy and inexpensive, but it’s one of those dinners you never have to negotiate over bites eaten.

Oh I Can Make That

I can’t tell you how many DIY projects started with the sentiment “Oh, I can do/recreate/make that“.   After picking my mouth up off the ground when seeing the charge for a gourmet pizza in town,  I decided to take on the Pizza Friday task at home.

I have a handful of variations and featured my Chicken Basil Pesto Pizza last winter on Instagram stories [check that highlight reel on my profile], but today I am sharing a new creation using flatbread, artichokes, feta and sauteed vegetables.  Let’s get started! 

It’s All Greek To Me

• 

• 

Chop + Dice

Anyways, slice the red onion and dice the zucchini then throw it in a skillet to begin the saute process.  I prefer to save my calories for indulging in wine so I use the 0 calorie olive oil spray and Mrs. Dash Salt-Free Seasoning. 

• 

• 

Using the 0 calorie Olive Spray, spray the flatbread, sprinkle minced garlic and then top with shredded italian blend and parmesan cheese.  This trio will act in place of a traditional pizza sauce.  Once the vegetables are soft and the onions translucent and fragrant, transfer them from skillet to prepared flatbread.  

• 

• 

Take the spinach and sliced roma tomatoes and layer them on top of the sauteed vegetables.  Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, quartered artichoke hearts, thinly sliced basil ribbons and pop in the oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.

• 

Slice + Make It Nice

Once all the pieces [approximately 8 slices] are plated, drizzle with a balsamic glaze for an extra delicious finishing touch.
