Quick, not so home made pizza

My children love eating pizza, especially at lunch time. I used to buy frozen pizzas, but they aren't exactly the healthiest, with all the added ingredients I can't pronounce and what not. So one day I decided to make home made pizza. The dough turned out awful and well, it was a major pain in the "you know what". (Since then I have found a recipe that is easier and turned out better though)

So instead I buy these whole wheat flat breads in the deli section at crest. They do have some added ingredients I can't pronounce and they are not as healthy as home made, but they are quick and easy and cheap(I'm working on making a homemade flat bread, but these work in the mean time)

So here is how I make quick, semi healthy-ish pizzas for my kids, and myself. I made a taco pizza last night that was to die for!! Ill post that recipe separate 


Ingredients:
Whole wheat flat breads (as many as you want)
Shredded cheese (I use either a pizza blend or cheddar, plus Parmesan)
Pizza sauce (home made is best, but the stuff in the jar works too. I buy organic)
1 Tsp olive oil
Garlic salt, or fresh
1 Tsp Italian seasoning
Whatever toppings your heart desires (I usually do a supreme with sautéed mushrooms for myself, or a Philly cheese-steak with spicy mustard sauce instead of pizza sauce, but my kiddos, who are just like their father, like plain ol' cheese)



Pre heat your oven to 350
Lay out your flat breads on a cookie sheet.







Spread olive oil on top, then sprinkle your garlic and Italian seasoning over it.

Next goes the sauce. Use as much or little as you want. Spread it all around.

Then pile on the cheese and whatever topping you would like.








Bake at 350 for about 10 mins or until the cheese is melted and the edges are slightly brown. Enjoy with a yummy salad and dessert pizza for dessert! Recipe below...


Dessert pizza:
Take your flat bread and spread a little softened butter over top, sprinkle a little cinnamon and sugar on top and bake for about 10 mins or so. Sprinkle with powder sugar and enjoy! Sometimes I whip up a batch of cinnamon roll frosting to drizzle on top, but its good without it too :)
