Let’s chat about a ridiculously easy dinner.

We’re talking done in under 30 minutes. Barely any chopping or prep involved.

Slap a few toppings on some naan bread and badda bing badda boom dinner is done.

But! Despite the simplicity, the blueberry basil ricotta combo will make you feel like you actually spent a bunch of time putting together a fancy dinner. Well, if pizza or flatbread could be considered fancy.

Who are we kidding, I absolutely consider flatbread fancy when it involves toppings like this.

And goodness knows I need all the simple, feels-kinda-fancy dinners I can get these days.

Life is big time crazy at the moment. Parents visiting … in-laws visiting.

Plus, you can also throw in one crazy little beagle who is so excited to see all her “grandparents.”

This is due to the fact that they all have been known to just happen to accidentally drop food on the floor when I look the other way. Suspicious? I think so.

The moral of this story? Blueberry basil ricotta flatbreads = fancy feeling bites of goodness that will make you stop running around like a crazy person for at least a few minutes.

Plus, you get to drizzle on some balsamic glaze. Which is just pure gorgeousness.
