Is it Friday yet?
I cannot wait for this weekend. You know why? It’s a long weekend here in Canada, it’s Victoria Day. I have lots of things planned, so now I just have to get through another couple days of work. I can do it.
I think I’m handling my challenge this month pretty well. If you don’t know, I am challenging myself to only cook vegetarian dishes this month. I have to admit it is not as easy as cooking with meat, but I am definitely enjoying it. I also am loving the dishes. You can still have lots of flavor without meat.
Today’s recipe is a simple caramelized onion flatbread. I’ve been wanting to make this for quite a while now and I am so glad that I finally made it. I love caramelized onions, it’s amazing how much flavor there is in caramelized onions and this recipe is so wonderful because I add a little bit of honey for additional sweetness and some balsamic vinegar. The onions are to die for.
This flatbread also makes for a great appetizer, so give it a try.

This looks so good! One of my favourite restaurants does a flatbread just like this but it’s also covered in mozzarella and garlic butter… oh god it’s amazing.
This is very much like a flatbread that I used to get at a bakery in the Bronx, NYC back in the 1950’s.
It was so delicious. We were just talking about it on Sunday. I subscribe to your posts and when I saw this – I had to print it. I will be making this for my grandson. He will love it.
