Homemade flatbread, similar to Subway

I have always enjoyed Subway.  Now that I'm more conscious of what I'm eating I have become somewhat obsessed.  I could eat Subway every day.  What I don't enjoy is the cost.  But that flatbread is oh so good.

 Earlier this week I decided to try making some from a recipe I found online.  It was quite yummy.  Not exactly the same as Subway but close.  It was super easy and I had 8 large flatbreads in a hurry.  Sadie even ate one hot from the skillet, no butter, no fillings.  Then she asked for another.  :)

Copycat Subway Flatbread
2 T sugar
1 tsp salt
1 c warm water
1 envelope active dry yeast
3 T milk
6 c flour

Mix sugar, water and yeast in a bowl.  Let sit until frothy.  Pour into kitchen aid with dough hook attachment.  Add milk and salt.  Stir in half the flour so the mixture becomes creamy.  Add more flour to make a soft dough.  Let the kitchen aid knead for 3 minutes.  Let dough rest for 5 minutes.  Turn out onto floured surface and separate into eight pieces.  Roll each piece thin.  (Original recipe says 1/4 inch but I rolled mine thinner - a tad bigger than the size of a Subway 6 inch piece.). Prick with fork to prevent shrinking.  Sprays each side with nonstick cooking spray.  Cook in hot skillet until bubbly, flip and cook other side until browned.   Top with your favorite sandwich fixins' and enjoy!

Skinny Broccoli Salad

A few years ago my sister-in-law brought broccoli salad to a family gathering.  I've never been a very adventurous eater but I decided to put some on my plate and give it a chance.  Turns out I can't remember anything else we had that day... Except the broccoli salad!  Of course when I taste something yummy I want the recipe and her reply was: I don't have one, I just start tossing ingredients together.  Bummer.  I tried recreating a few times and was always disappointed.

A few weeks ago I came upon a 'skinny broccoli salad' recipe and it reminded me that I love broccoli salad.  This recipe is very tasty (maybe it isn't quite as good but is much healthier than a full fat mayo version).  And seriously, shouldn't broccoli be the star of this show?

Also, this recipe has Greek yogurt-yuck!  I keep telling myself yogurt is an acquired taste and I should force myself to eat it.  But I can't do it.  It's just so tangy and when I start to think about something 'live' in my bowl I get all grossed out.  But I bought some (a small individual container so I didn't feel bad about throwing it out if I decided yogurt and broccoli was just too weird). Guess what? It's awesome in this recipe.  And smells like sour cream.  I truly enjoy sour cream.... Wonder if I could tolerate a baked potato with Greek yogurt?  Maybe if I scoop it into an empty sour cream tub to fool myself.....that's a whole other topic, though.  ;)

Alright, here it is, go out and buy all the broccoli and whip up this delicious recipe!

2 stalks broccoli, washed and cut into bit size pieces
Red onion, chopped (as much as you want.  I prefer a tiny amount for flavor without biting into it)
Green pepper, chopped, about 1/4 cup depending on taste
1 pouch of real bacon pieces (1/2 cup)
1/4 cup chopped pecans
5.3 oz container of Greek yogurt, fat free
1 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tbsp sugar

Mix yogurt, vinegar and sugar.  Pour over other ingredients, stir to combine.  Chill until ready to eat.

This recipe makes about 7 - 1/2 cup servings.  If you're a weight watcher that's about 3 points plus.
