Summer Garden Veggie + Pesto Pizza

 Summer is the perfect time for homemade pizza piled high with fresh produce from the garden!  This summer pizza features fresh roasted vegetables on top of a garlic butter pesto sauce base and smothered with plenty of melty cheese.  I also added some bits of fresh basil on top for extra flavor and color.  Overall this pizza is super light, flavorful, and bright and so perfect for an easy summer dinner!   We got all our vegetables and basil from the local farmer's market and I used Trader Joe's fresh garlic and herb pizza dough which makes at-home pizza making so easy and delicious!

Burrata, Asparagus, + Prosciutto Salad

 There are few things I love more for spring than a super bright, fresh salad.  This burrata, asparagus, and prosciutto salad is the perfect appetizer spread for a crowd. but is also hearty enough to eat as a weeknight meal.  Creamy burrata is topped with delicious basil pesto and layered on top of peppery arugula, roasted asparagus, salty prosciutto, cherry tomatoes, and perfectly sweet melon balls.  The salad is served with a side of warm, crusty bread that is perfect for scooping up your favorite combination of ingredients.  There are so many layers of flavor in this dish and possible combinations to try with each bite!  We served this as an Easter brunch appetizer and it was the perfect starter for our meal.  It's also SUPER quick and easy to throw together!  I can see this being a regular meal this summer on the patio for sure!
