Peach Arugula Corn Pizza


Peach Arugula Corn Pizza // shutterbean

PEACHES. Glorious peaches. It’s like eating a piece of sunshine–sweet, sweet sunshine. I don’t even want to talk about how the leaves on the trees outside our house are changing color and how Target is in FULL ON BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPING mode. NO. I wish it would stop. I feel like I was just getting settled into my summer time habit of buying too many peaches…

Can I tell you something? I’m obsessed with arugula on pizza. You might already know this by my Goat Cheese/Tomato Arugula number and my Breakfast Pizza concoction. I just won’t quit. If I ever see arugula on a pizza menu, I almost always convince someone to split it with me.  I also am a big fan of corn on pizza (hello CORN LIME ZUCCHINI!). It adds a deliciously sweet crunch!

I love the balance of this pizza combo. Tart goat cheese, creamy mozzarella, peppery arugula, sweet roasted peaches and corn, the bite of red onion and the balsamic!! It’s a flavor explosion. I think I might add a jalapeño next time because this lady sure loves all things SPICY.

Burrito Bowls


Burrito Bowls // Shutterbean

I’m starting a new series here called EVERYDAY EATS  because I really want  to show you my quick/easy/go-to meals that we enjoy on weeknights at home.  These posts won’t be photographed step-by-step like my other formal recipes because Ain’t Nobody Got Time For That!  The best part is that most of these meals will take less than 30 minutes to make. My goal is to give you some meal inspiration while I keep track of what we enjoy at home. It’s easy for me to forget what we’ve enjoyed, so it’s my hope that by the end of the year I’ll have a whole lineup of weeknight meals I can reference. Let’s do this!

One part bread. One part vegetable. One part cheese. One awesome panini that rhymes.

One sandwich that tastes like a vegetable laden/crispy pizza when dipped into marinara sauce.
