Summer is here!  Huzzah!

I’ve not always been a summer person. I don’t love hot and humid weather.

This year, though, I’m embracing it. After a busy first year of preschool and trying to keep two young kiddos on a schedule every week, I’ve been enjoying a bit more flexibility.  

We’ve been playing on the playground, running in the yard, blowing bubbles, and splashing in the pool.

Of course, it’s all fun and games until dinner time. Am I right?

I am someone who loves to cook, but lately I find myself struggling with what to make for dinner. The fact that I am trying to find foods that will please two young kids makes it even more difficult. While my hubby and I might be content to pick up whatever’s fresh at the farmer’s market and enjoy a salad, that doesn’t fly with the little ones.

Fortunately, I’ve discovered that both kids enjoy eating bread… And, it’s amazing what else they will eat when it is accompanied by bread.  As a result, these grilled flatbreads have become one of my favorites this summer.  We often make grilled vegetables for dinner (sometimes with meat, sometimes just the veggies). The beauty of these flatbreads is that they cook on the grill at the same time I’m making veggies. There’s no need to heat up the oven. And, the kids can run around in the yard. Brilliant.

While they are kid-friendly, I think you’ll also find this recipe to be one that pleases the adults in the family, too. The roasted garlic and fresh herbs add great flavor.  As I mentioned above, they are great with simple grilled vegetables. They also pair beautifully with some ricotta and fresh tomatoes, yogurt and cucumbers, and just about anything else you are in the mood for.

We’ll be making them again and again this summer… And, I think they will be perfect for entertaining, too! If you need something to tie together your next picnic or cookout, I’d recommend giving these a try!

  1. These look fabulous Jen! I’ve made quick flatbreads with my cooking club many times and they LOVE 1. making them and 2. eating them. And you’re right – it really is a great vehicle to introduce other foods (veggie dips!) to them. Your photos are gorgeous!
