Grilled Flatbread Pizza

OH MY was this GOOD. I really out did myself this time with my pizza making. There were two simple tricks: grilling the flatbread on my panini press until it became crispy and sauteing my veggies in coconut oil before putting them on the pizza. It really made the difference.


  • 1 Light Flat Out wrap
  • 1/4 cup of pizza sauce
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 broccoli
  • 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup sliced onion
  • 10 Yves Pepperonis 
  • 1 tsp coconut oil


Preheat oven to 425. Grill flatbread on panini press until crispy (spray with coconut oil). Saute veggies in 1 tsp coconut oil until tender. Lay flatbread on aluminum oil and spread pizza sauce. Layer with 1/2 the cheese. Next, add pepperonis, veggies, and the rest of the shredded cheese. Lightly spray with coconut oil, then sprinkle oregano. Bake for 6-8 minutes, making sure not to burn the flatbread. Let cool for 5 minutes, then slice and enjoy!




I really love making homemade pizza because you can play around with the ingredients and make it however you like. Plus, it's much easier to calculate the nutritional value if you are making it yourself!

Happy Cooking :)

Grilled Chicken Quesadillas

Haven't posted in a LONG time, but here's a new recipe that I whipped up today - grilled chicken quesadillas. YUM!


  • 1 Flat Out Light Wrap
  • 1/2 cup Mexican Blend Shredded Cheese (I used Weight Watchers)
  • 4 oz grilled chicken tenderloins, cubed (I used Sanderson Farms)
  • 1/2 cup broccoli
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper
  • 1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Black pepper, cayenne pepper, for seasoning
  • 2 tbsp reduced fat sour cream, for dipping (I used Breakstones)
  • 2 tbsp salsa, for dipping
Preheat oven to 400. Grill chicken in a skillet in 1 tsp of olive oil until cooked through (don't worry if they are not fully cooked b/c you are going to put the oven anyway). Saute veggies until tender. Layer half of the cheese on half of the flat out wrap, layer chicken, veggies, and top with the rest of the cheese, then fold shut. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake in oven for 5 mins. For added crispiness, grill on a panini press for about 2 mins until you get those "grill lines" (SO WORTH IT). Enjoy with your favorite sides!

Note: For added kick, mix taco seasoning with sour cream for more of that Mexican flavor.
