Make summer delicious with Summer Squash Pizza!
How are those gardens doing this year? I really miss our garden this year, and I hope my husband decides to do one next year. He hasn’t had any time really to be able to work in it this year, so it is good that we didn’t do it, but I hope he does have time again next year. The first thing to make is Summer Squash Pizza.
One of my favorite things about this time of year is picking fresh produce straight from the garden. I miss that!
That hasn’t stopped me though from using fresh produce throughout the summer. I decided to try this Summer Squash Pizza from Cooking Light because it sounded fresh and delicious.
I love to be able to use fresh garden produce and cook this while the kids are out playing. It’s a great way for me to have a delicious dinner or light lunch and watch them play outside. Sometimes it’s nice to have while reading a good book too.
It was exactly that! This would make a wonderful meal paired with a salad or you could even make it as an appetizer. We opted to do it as a meal with salad, making a light and delicious dinner.
This pizza is actually grilled then you top it with the grilled squash and zucchini, it’s like a burst of veggie heaven in your mouth!
Mix up your pizza night tonight and try this tasty Summer Squash Pizza! I am sure you will love it!

Oh wow, this looks like a perfect summer meal! Light and delicious, and I know my family would absolutely love it. We’ve been spending a lot of time downtown (pokemon hunting, hehe), and stopping in at home to grab a bite to eat. This would be the BEST quick little lunch. Thanks for sharing <3
