Now that summer is in full bloom, I’m seeing all of the yummy berries on sale. At our home, we go through berries SO fast. I’ve been wondering what to do with all of these fruits that I’ve been collecting. After seeing these fruit pizzas, I knew that’s what I had to make! It’s definitely a family favorite and one you can all enjoy.
