I’ve used Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets for things before (like these chicken pot pie puffs!), and I’m really excited to be working with them on this post! This may not be its most traditional use, but it only uses one sheet, so you can use the other for dessert (find some great dessert ideas here)! It’s perfect for a brunch or shower as the spring starts to usher in summer!

Although I still don’t have tomatoes in my garden yet, I’ve been craving all things tomato and basil for months! I know that pizza isn’t technically listed as a top favorite food (cheese, chocolate and ice cream), it’s maybe #4 or #5. Plus, it has cheese on it, so I think it counts…

I will admit, I started this recipe out with the intention of being “simple,” but then I kept thinking of great toppings (aka sliced garlic) that I couldn’t pass up. You still don’t have to make a crust, you only have to unroll a Puff Pastry Sheet, so I’d say that’s still a win in my book! If you need more ideas for your springtime get together, check out this Pinterest board!

Homegrown Spotlight: I don’t have tomatoes in the ground, but I’ve got herbs going strong! Basil, rosemary and thyme are all growing in the backyard.

Have you ever made a pizza with unconventional crust? Here’s a throwback to our experimenting with cauliflower crust!

    I can’t say it once fast. Pizza ranks number one in my list so this is a great way to get my pizza fix in a hurry. This is a fun riff on pizza Margherita. I can’t wait for decent tomatoes to hit my market to try this. Thanks!
