Do you love pizza but get tired of the same old, same old? This quick, easy and calorie-friendly Cheesy Dried Plum Flatbread will bring new life to your breakfast, lunch or dinner offerings.

It’s time for this month’s Recipe Redux challenge and the theme is “Spring Cleaning”. The idea is to find an ingredient hanging out in the cupboard that needs some attention. I opened the door and there they were; a bag of dried plums just begging to be eaten. Cooking with dried plums is an easy way to add potassium, Vitamin A, fiber, iron and antioxidants to your meals. Research shows they also may help to strengthen bones, and prevent or even reverse bone loss. Of course, there’s always that famous benefit gained from noshing on a few dried plums (ah-hem, prunes). Enjoy!
