As Summer slowly comes to a close, I have a mixed basket of emotions. I love the warm weather and freedom from the sleeping bag I feel I darn from December to April in order to keep the cold NY winters out, but, Fall is by far my favorite time of the year. But, before I get all gushy about Autumn and pies, I want to pay a bit more homage to the bounty of Summer and all the yummy, light, waist-friendly dishes it brings.,
This dish is an adaptation from one of my favorite guilty-pleasures in Manhattan. Grandaisy Bakery.
They make the most delicious yet simple pizzas that are a nice change from marinara and greasy cheese. Not that greasy cheesy pizza is evil, but Good Balance=Good Karma remember?
This dish is easy to prepare, and really fills you up. And kid tested- two thumbs up from baby girl.
