Meatball Flatbread

I thought I would share with you all that our Sunny, warm, California paradise has been missing for two days. We had a storm roll in. Contrary to how it was when I lived in Oregon. I love it when a storm comes now.First of all, knowing the sun will be back in a day or two helps. Second, there is something about pounding rain on the roof at night that is very cozy. I get in the mood to make cozy comfort food and sit by the fire. Yes, I admit it. I do love rain now. But only in doses. Knowing we don't need to water our citrus trees for a few days is nice. People hide from the rain here. You can go drive down any street and it almost looks like a ghost town. Since they don't need to get used to how to drive in the rain here, they just stay home. You can go to the grocery store and there won't be any lines. Checkout is a breeze when everyone else is hiding indoors. There is supposed to be 10 foot waves today at the beach, so all the surfers are headed out to catch the big one. I was going to go watch, but didn't. 

So on to today's recipe...

Before her diagnosis, One of Taylor's favorite quick things to get was a meatball subway sandwich. With Venice Bakery Gluten Free Flatbread I am able to easily create this lovely dish for her at home in no time at all. I like to make the meatballs and sauce ahead of time and then just reheat it and add it to the flatbread. It gives Taylor quick meal options on her busy work days.
