Pumpkin Parmesan Pizza with Brown Butter Caramelized Onions and Kale My brain is a strange place. A really strange place. Because while other people think about normal things like what they are going to do later, I daydream about pizza. Because pizza. Let me back up. Last weekend, it was gray and rainy and cool. …
