Oven-Dried Tomato Flatbread

tomato-flatbread-contemporaryIt’s no secret that I love dining all over the Walt Disney World Resort.  I am a foodie, after all.  Every time my family ventures to Disney, I attempt to try something different.  Sometimes this is difficult for me because I have my favorite places and my favorite eats.  In one of our trips earlier this year, we went to the California Grill, not only because the cuisine is fantastic by also because it is one of the best spots to view Wishes fireworks.
