The Perfect Summer Pizza

As I glance up at the title, I'm reminded that summer is packing up, rubbing it's tired eyes, and getting ready for a long, long nap. It's almost Fall which means in San Francisco, it's almost summer here. We've endured the foggy, 50 degree days and nights for all of July and August and finally, some sun! Our Indian Summer has arrived.

And to all my loved ones on the East Coast or wherever you may be, think of this pizza as a toast to Summer as you give her a "sleep tight" nod and greet Fall with a big hug for an old friend.

The reason I really like this pizza is that it has no cheese which for a lactose intolerant gal like me, makes my tummy extremely happy. On top of that, it's topped (pun intended) with fresh, delicious and healthy Ratatouille.

Alright, alright. There is one more pretty brilliant thing about this pizza. It's gluten free. I know, I know...I'll say it again for those of us in disbelief. Deliciously. Gluten. Free. And the good news continues...you can absolutely make this non-gluten free. Pizza for everyone!

Making pizzas always reminds me of my Grandma who I used to make sausage pizza with when I was younger. Now, Bri and I have date nights where we pull whatever we have in the fridge and dump it on our pizza like goat cheese (tummy approved), black berries, arugula...and the list goes on.

Oh but that, my friends, is a whole other blog post.
