Mediterranean Flatbread

Last night, I woke up in a panic not knowing where I was.  Maybe that's a result of not having been in my own bed for over 2 weeks.  I've never been a good sleeper though.  Well after I woke up, I got up to get water or what have you and upon trying to walk back in my room ran straight into the vacuum cleaner.  Y'all, I think my heart stopped.  Note to self: Don't leave the vacuum in front of your door.  It will give you palpitations.  Then I ended up knocking over my water glass.  I was just a mess.

Anyhow, I've found my new favorite food.  Flatbread.  It's like pizza that doesn't get soggy.  You can top it any which way you like, and it's a cinch to make.
On the reals, this stuff reheats waaaay better than pizza, even in the microwave.  Let's get it started, yo.

Roasted Red Pepper Pasta

Sometimes you just want to make something that has, like, 5 ingredients.  Seriously, whole shows are devoted to the concept of simplicity.  5 Ingredient Fix, anyone?  Because maybe you're tired or you've had an uber-busy day.  Or just don't feel like broasting and basting and filleting and marinating and heightening the umami.  Just... straightforward please.

I've made a handful of Pioneer Woman recipes, including her deadly cinnamon rolls.  I withered (in a good way) when I ate one for the first time.  I've made her roasted red pepper pasta before, and it comes together in no time if you use jarred roasted peppers.  PW roasts her peppers, which isn't difficult.  I'm definitely not averse to roasting your own peppers, it's just that red bell peppers for some reason have been expensive lately.  So for simplicity's and my budget's sake, I used jarred peppers.
