I am an enthusiast, of many things. Pizza is one of those things.

I recently discovered that the pre-made pizza dough at our neighborhood market is actually good. Like, really good. And I'm not ashamed to tell you, I've been using it to create all kinds of stuff, especially since the market is bursting with midsummer produce.  Last night, we indulged in a post-camping trip lazy Sunday and whipped up a couple of pies. (And somehow found ourselves viewing another episode of The Leftovers... are you watching it? I can't decide if it's rubbish or brilliant).

I've already told you about crispy kale pizza (which is B's favorite and so good that I made it for my book club), but here are a few other favorite recipes...

Ricotta & red onion pizza

Pizza bianca

Pizza del papa

Potato pizza

Grilled pizza

Salter Path

It's no secret that I'm partial to Highway 12, but this little stretch of island, along the southern outer banks, has a lot of charm. Also, you're not a proper North Carolinian til you've had a Big Oak shrimpburger on the beach. Just sayin'.
