Fridge Foraging: Summer Vegetable Pizza with Zucchini and Corn
My fridge is filled with summer flavors these days. I pretty much only want to eat corn, zucchini and tomatoes for the next couple of months.
On this edition of fridge foraging you all chose to go with the fridge foraging flatbread/pizza over the summertime pasta. Both sounded good to me and I can't wait for you to try this flatbread because it is delicious!
