It’s official. I caught the Summer bug. Hard.
I know it is only May 15th, but yesterday it felt like Summer!
Alright, that is a major exaggeration. The temps only reached the low 60’s, but for around here that is extremely warm! Granted if the sun is shinning it can definitely feel like the 70’s at times, but summer in the mountains is nothing likes summers in Ohio. Where it is hot, humid and the lake is your best friend! I know the humidity stinks, but I really miss warm summer nights. Summer nights here, or in Mt. Hood where I will likely be, are COLD. I am talking 30, maybe even 20, degrees. Yeah, cold.
Anyway, all I think about is sweet strawberries, watermelon, peaches and sweet, sweet summertime corn.
Oh and obviously ice cream. I have gone on an ice cream making binge. You guys just wait, it’s gonna be good.
So I know that corn it not quite yet in season, but when I ran to the grocery store on Friday (because I forgot yet another thing that I had written on my grocery list, my list that I somehow lost inside the grocery store) there it was! Seriously, I walked in the two sliding doors and there it was, just staring me down.
And it was on sale. It should of just said “buy me” all over it.
Oh wait. It did. No, really it did. There were little orange stickers on the husk that said “buy me I’m a product of the USA”.
I know, that is weird. Honestly, I have never seen a sticker like that on produce. I guess it works on suckers like me though, cause I bought it! I hade no choice.
I really hope you guys like corn because I see a lot in your future.
To be honest I have never been that huge of a corn fan. It is definitely one of my least favorite vegetables, but it’s not because I don’t like the taste. Nope, it is because I hate eating messy food. I may like the taste of messy foods, but I actually avoid eating them.
I am a total clean freak and prefer to have my hands nice and tidy while I eat, and I HATE getting corn kernels stuck in my teeth. Seriously, I really hate that. I mean popcorn is a nightmare for me. Every time I eat it I spend ten minutes trying to pic the kernels out of my teeth.
I even like my fruit super hard so the juice does not run down my face when I bite into it.
I know, that is just plain crazy. I hear most people like super ripe, super soft fruit. Like I have said before I am totally insane.
Alright so about this pizza??
I have had this pizza in my head for weeks now. For some reason grilled corn and chipotles sounded like they would go really well together and basically I just built the pizza from there.
This pizza is loaded with grilled onions, grilled red peppers, grilled jalapeño peppers and grilled corn, chipotle pesto (amazing!) and a whole lot of cheese. Hey, what’s a pizza without cheese??
Ahh, definitely not a pizza I would eat. Unless maybe it was a dessert pizza. I don’t typically like cheese in my dessert.
Obviously, I really love grilling. It adds such awesome flavor and it’s so easy, plus no dishes and no mess! This is a huge score in my book!
While the veggies grill you can make the chipotle pesto which consists of chipotle peppers (which you can de-seed for less heat), cilantro, basil, pine nuts (you can sub walnuts), garlic, lime juice and queso fresco. Yeah, the queso fresco is pretty much just awesome! Way better than parmesan and then you put it together with the chipotle peppers. So freaking good!
The smell of this pizza is out of this world. Really it is. I can’t even describe how good this one is. I think it’s definitely one of my favorite pizzas. Like I am putting it up there with the beloved buffalo chicken pizza.
That means it’s really good people.
