With Labor Day behind us we’re reaching the end of summer, and although everyone marks that specific date as the end of the season, we actually still have a few more weeks of summer left! Until September 23rd to be exact. That means we don’t have to start adding pumpkin spice to everything, just yet. Hold off on setting out those Halloween decorations and why not join me in celebrating these last two weeks by hosting a “I Don’t Want Summer to End” party with your family and friends. Have one more final BBQ or potluck outside and squeeze out every last drop of the season. I’m teaming up with my friends over at Crate and Barrel to bring you this recipe for Grilled Mediterranean Pizzas! It’s the perfect late summer entertaining recipe. I also wanted to showcase Crate and Barrel’s new and exclusive KitchenAid Stand Mixer in the beautiful Shaded Palm color. It adds a nice touch to any kitchen. In honor of this new release, I’m hosting a Giveaway over on my Instagram account for a chance to win one of these KitchenAid mixers of your very own. Follow along there to get all the details on how to enter! In the meantime, let’s talk about pizza—one of my favorite topics!

Inevitably, it’s what I tend to eat when I’ve returned from a vacation and have over-indulged and my body is just screaming for something green or a vegetable. My mindset is usually that of dinner being a protein, a starch and a vegetable—with the vegetable being a potato of some kind, which is technically another starch but let me live.
