Day 220 - Caramelized Onion, Sausage and Goat Cheese Pizza

OMG!!!

This could create an addiction like my Avocado Chicken Pizza... This recipe is a take on Mystery Bay Farm's goat cheese pizza recipe. I've broken it down for you and made it and waistline friendly. And if you've never had the need to caramelize an onion, see the YouTube video below the recipe... It's much easier to show than tell : )

Caramelized Onion, Sausage and Goat Cheese Pizza

  • 1 Original Light Flatout wrap
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 2 oz. semi-soft or soft plain goat cheese (though and herbed one would be fantastic!)
  • 1 cup sliced raw onions (it's important that the onions are cut to the same width so they cook evenly and don't burn, 1/3 inch will do)
  • 1/2 link of cooked Italian sausage, sliced and cut into halves
  • 1/4 tsp. crushed rosemary
  • salt and pepper to taste

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On top of a baking sheet, place foil (or non-stick mat) and then the Flatout wrap.

2. In a small 1 or 1.5 quart sauce pot, place 1 tsp of olive oil and all of the sliced onions. Cook over medium low heat, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent, golden colored and sweet smelling. (see video below) Set aside.

3. Cook sausage thoroughly, either by pan frying, grilling or microwaving. Slice thin, and cut half of the slices in half again; like half moons. Set aside.

4. Drizzle remaining tsp of olive oil over the Flatout wrap and spread evenly with your finger. Crumble the goat cheese evenly over the entire wrap. Lay the caramelized onions and sausage over the goat cheese and sprinkle the rosemary, salt and pepper over top.

5. Bake approximately 9 minutes or until the edges of the wrap are beginning to turn brown.

This pizza was 8 PP (Weight Watchers) for me, but you'll need to calculate your own sausage per it's packaged nutrition guidelines. It's one of the yummiest things I've eaten in the last 3 weeks... see yesterday's post to gauge how amazing this pizza really must have been : )

*droooooooool*

Tomorrow- more of my trip and some inspiration for more meals.

Day 177 - Buffalo Chicken Sausage?!?!?!?! Yes Please!

I have to share my awesome find with you all!

I was perusing the meat section of my grocery store, contemplating getting some Italian sausage for my boys dinner and I saw this great colored package peeking out at me from the top refrigerated shelf...




I have had al fresco's products before, but I haven't had them since beginning to count 'points' with Weigh Watcher's so I picked up the package to do some calculating. They are only 3 PP (Points Plus) each!!! Yes, I said 3!  and they are the same size as a regular sausage, more bang for your PP buck. Wow! And Buffalo chicken flavored to boot, a taste of home : )

Add a whole wheat hotdog bun and you have the star of your dinner plate at only 6 points (by my calculations). Lot's of room to add a fresh salad and balsamic dressing on the side. Or perhaps a nice fall soup! Like the one I'll be sharing with you on Friday (Roasted Butternut Squash soup to be exact). In the meantime, consider picking up a package of al fresco all natural sausages... They're yummy.
