Grilled Flat Bread.Feeding my new grill obsession


This past weekend P2's cousin and his partner gave us a grill. Yup.. GAVE us a brand new grill!!! Since that day almost everything I have eaten has been grilled. I know that's probably not the healthiest choice in food preparation, but right now I can't help myself.  I'm a city boy, so I have never actually owned a grill.   
Soon I hope to share the ridicules  joy I have found in brining meat before grilling it, but for now I am going to share the pleasure of the grilled flat bread.
If you are unfamiliar with flat bread, it's Pizza. I am not sure what why it's cool to say flat bread, but in the past few years, that's just the way it is.
So Clearly there not much to know about in term of how to make a grilled flat bread (store bought by the way). What I can tell you is more advise than anything else.
I found success in having the grill very hot on one side and less hot on the other. Brush each side with a little olive oil then grill the top of the flat bread on the hot side of the grill. Once you have some good grill marks, remove it from the grill to add the toppings.
Topping options are endless. Do whatever you feel like. Below my pictures are of a breakfast flat bread I made with prosciutto and egg, and a  shrimp pesto flat bread. Both were great as a meal, but could be cut to be shared or added to a meal like brunch!
Once you've topped the flat bread return it to the cooler side of the grill, cover and let it cook until you are happy with the doneness.
That's it. Easy Peasy!
             
Wishing everyone a great summer!!! Get out there and grill!

Orange glazed chicken with Shredded Brussels Sprouts and Autumn Brown Rice.

First of all please allow me to apologize for the picture quality. My camera was dead when I went to take a picture, and we were far to hungry to wait for the battery to charge, so I used my iPhone. It’s not terrible, but it is not great either. Now… to the food!!! I originally wanted to try this dish with duck breast but it seems that, even at Whole Foods I can't find any duck breasts. I did find a rather large whole duck, but I didn't get it because it would obviously be too much! So I went for chicken breast. Since I was looking to have that fatty flavor that duck naturally gives out I chose to get the chicken breast (3 breasts) with skin on. I couldn’t find skin on without bones, so I had to debone the breasts at home. It’s really easy to do. You just guide your knife along the rib cage and you’re all set. First preheat your oven to 375 and get started on your rice. I chose brown rice, but any rice you prefer will be fine for this dish. I followed the directions on the bag,

The All Powerful Sauerkraut!

So It seems that I am the last person on the planet to know about the AMAZING health benefits of Sauerkraut.  To be 100% honest our dog got really sick this week and we were researching how to help him out without having to spend a fortune at the vet's office. We kept reading that the dogs health and overall well being started off with how his gut was, and what was going on in his digestive track. JUST LIKE PEOPLE. And the way to make sure that your gut is healthy is probiotics! One of the easiest, and least expensive ways to get billions of these things in you a day is with eating fermented foods like Sauerkraut.  Here is a link to a REALY interesting article  I found about the science of probiotics, mental health, gut health, becoming healthier.  In a much shorter intro to the benefits of Kraut, here is the gist of it from another article I read pertaining to people as well as animals: History of Sauerkraut Although many people think of sauerkraut a
