Confession of a Carb Lover

I have a problem.

I love carbs.

Normally I maintain control of myself. However, I blame Gordon Ramsey for my current lack of any control. One day I caught an episode of his show that is a cooking course, Gordon Ramsey's Ultimate Cookery Course. Danger, Will Robinson!

It was the episode, Baking. Not something I am a complete novice at, thank you very much. However, one recipe caught my eye. It was beautifully simple and required no exotic ingredients.

The recipe is simply entitled: Flatbread with Lemon Thyme Ricotta. Since I am a stickler about copyright and honoring the hard, creative work of others, if you want the recipe follow the link. I will not be posting it.

[Side note: I will always try to point in the direction of the original source. Should I be mistaken and you know otherwise, provide the information and I will be happy to correct anything. Any errors are made in good faith and I am not young enough to think I know everything!]

I fudge on the ricotta. I use dried thyme (it is February in the Midwest and I'm a girl on a budget). I don't go for the lemon as I'm not a huge fan of lemon anything (except lemonade). I also sometimes add garlic to the ricotta because I don't think I could ever have too much garlic.

May I have helped you with your carb addiction. Go ahead, give it a whirl. You won't regret it!
