What to make this 4th of July?

Here are some more GREAT posts by Kate...I myself am thinking of making these Mini Caprese Bites for the 4th, along with my Sweet Dilled Macaroni Salad...mmm mmm mmm, can't wait!

Margherita Pizza

I got this idea off of Jane Maynard's sight, "This Week for Dinner" I changed it up just a little bit though, that was because I had the gist of the idea, and didn't look at the recipe before I made it :) I made some plain pizza dough in my bread machine and then shaped it. Jane's recipe says to brush it with olive oil, but instead I brushed it with pesto. Added a little parmesan cheese, topped it with sliced tomatoes, fresh mozzarella slices, and fresh basil. Sprinkled a little sea salt and freshly ground pepper, popped it in the oven at 375 F for about 20 minutes, and you have a very yummy pizza begging to be eaten!!!
