Chicken Mushroom Flatbread

 You can have this artisan-worthy Chicken Mushroom Flatbread pizza for one on your dinner table in less than 30 minutes!

First, before I even begin here, let me apologize to you all for taking such a long hiatus from posting to the blog. As many of you all know by now, I donated a kidney to my fiance in October of last year. My recovery went pretty smoothly, but my fiance was hit with a few setbacks shortly after our surgeries. 

We faced many challenges- mild rejection episodes (which we have now come to realize is fairly common within the first 6 months of a transplant surgery), numerous medication adjustments (he was on 20+ prescriptions at one time during this journey), and even emergency surgery which resulted in him having to stay weeks longer in the hospital. Let just say that life needed my blog to temporarily take a back seat.

Fortunately, we have finally reached the light at the end of the tunnel and life is somewhat resuming to normal. My fiance is feeling healthier and stronger every day, we have the meds under control, he is back at work, and we are planning for a (hopefully) fall wedding.

With my son being in college and living on campus most of the year and my daughter being with her dad a least a few days each week now, I find myself needing to only cook for one a little more often these days. I actually don't mind it. Evenings to myself allows me to whip up some of my personal favorite dishes for dinner- you know, the ones that the kids won't touch with a 10 foot pole and crinkle up their noses at in disgust. ;)

I reserve those kid-free evenings to saute a salmon filet or tuna steak for myself. To serve quinoa as a side dish. To roast all the veggies and throw them on my plate. Neither of my kids are big seafood fans. They think quinoa is weird. And they are very specific about the types of vegetables they will allow on their dinner plate. 

But I can only make the fish/quinoa/veggies combo or heat up leftovers for dinner so many evenings each week. That is why I was so happy when my food blogger friend, Joanie Zisk of One Dish Kitchen contacted me about checking out her new cookbook, The Ultimate Cooking for One Cookbook.
