Coming to you from a new kitchen. A cute new kitchen. With ample counter space and sunlight streaming in. And a big pretty fridge. Still not enough cupboard space. (But that's probably my problem. When you move and the majority of your boxes are labeled "kitchen", you have too many serving platters and cooking gadgets.) Despite the lack of space and similar inconveniences we've come to accept with city life, we're happy in our new place.

Naturally, pizza was the first thing I made. This unusual spin on chicken pesto pizza includes grapes! Sounds crazy but tastes amazing. It's garlicky and cheesy (fresh mozzarella oozing all over the place) and sweet. I used my own pesto recipe but feel free to buy it prepared. I didn't include amounts for the toppings because when I'm throwing them on a pizza, I rarely measure. Plus it all depends on how big your crust is and how much you want to pile on top. It's pizza. So it's hard to go wrong.
