Olive Flatbread

Posted on by laurarees

A lovely addition to a happy hour menu, or the perfect crunch alongside a salad.

Olive Flatbread

Preheat the oven to 425. Roll the pizza crust out as thin as possible. Pop it in the oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove it and (without burning yourself) spread the garlic oil all over the crust, and sprinkle on the olives. Bake for 10 more minutes. Serve warm.

Island eats

We spent last week at Bald Head Island. It was absolutely glorious.
This is the view of the marsh from our rooftop patio:

and big waves.

We were so busy kayaking, hiking, riding around in a golf cart, fishing for crabs, building sand castles, swimming, finding shells, biking, and searching for island animals (our list includes lizards, snails, stingrays, sharks, deer, foxes, and sea turtles) that we didn’t really do much cooking.

Before we left, I planned out the absolute easiest meals I could think of:

Tacos

Pizza, with pepperoni and half jalepeno

Burgers and dogs on the grill

Bacon and tomato sandwiches with mayo

And, a special treat for hubs, the crusts of kids sandwiches dipped into Southwest Ranch dip.

Those are my super simple go to dinners. What are yours?

Special thanks to Grandma Terri and Grandpa Bruce, who generously donated their home for the week and made such a lovely trip possible.
