Welcome back from the long weekend! I hope yours was filled with extra rest and relaxation. And good food, too! I spent mine like I do most, running and eating. And walking for hours on end at the State Fair! I was smart this year and wore sneakers to the fair instead of flip-flops. When you’re training for a marathon, avoiding injury beats out style every time. Oh, how wise I’ve become since my first go around at this whole marathon thing!
Do you think it’s okay to eat summer squash after Labor Day? Or is it sort of like wearing white after Labor Day? Actually, I think it’s okay to wear white after Labor Day now. I’ve never been very into those funky rules anyway – I like to make my own rules. But I do wonder if it’s frowned upon in the food world to serve zucchini instead of acorn squash after the first Monday in September.
You know what? If summer squash is still abundant, I’m still going to eat it. You should, too! And you should make this pizza. I promise you won’t miss the tomato sauce or mozzarella cheese. In fact, if you’re a squash lover like myself, I’d be willing to bet you might like this more than traditional pizza!
