    This easy vegetarian pizza is topped with sweet corn, Field Roast Italian sausage, and fresh thyme. Never had corn on pizza? We dare you to try this recipe!

    It's not fall yet!

    It has come to my attention that other bloggers have already started posting pumpkin and apple recipes. Sorry guys, I'm not letting go of summer produce that easily. You're going to have to drag me away from corn and zucchini the same way you have to drag your 3-year-old out of the toy department at Target—crying, kicking, and screaming, "I HATE YOU! YOU'RE THE WORST MOM IN THE WORLD!"

    So yeah, while everyone else gets a jump start on fall, I'm going to spend the next two weeks enjoying the last bit of summer. I like to cook seasonally and summer produce is still in season! I promise you it is! Sure, you could be eating apples and pumpkin right now, but you'll have many months to eat apples and pumpkin. What about corn?! You're going to miss fresh corn in a month when you can't buy it anymore.

    You know what you should do? Make this Sweet Corn, Sausage and Thyme Pizza.

    Sweet Corn & SausageAbout the Recipe

    I make my Fresh Corn, Poblano and Cheddar Pizza at the beginning and end of every summer, but I wanted to try something different, so I threw together this recipe last weekend. I love thyme and corn together and since thyme is one of the few things I've been able to successfully grow this summer, I thought I'd use some of that on my pizza. And then I crumbled up a Field Roast Italian sausage that I had leftover from another recipe and used that too. Field Roast is the only faux sausage I buy because it's made with real ingredients, but if you're partial to another brand, that will work too. This recipe is pretty effortless and pretty forgiving—adding tomatoes, zucchini, or bell peppers would be delicious too.

    What else is there to say? I love this pizza and I love corn. And I'm not ready for fall yet!

      I always try not to feel Christmas spirit too early, too, or I'll be burned out by the time Christmas actually rolls around. 😉 Same thing with pumpkin, I suppose! As soon as the fall chill hits the air, even for five minutes, I'm all gung ho on pumpkin recipes. And I'm ready for pumpkin even earlier this year. I think it's due to the whole selling/buying/moving thing - I crave the comfort of home and fall! Nonetheless - this pizza looks divine and I would be more then happy to set aside pumpkin for a few more days if I could tuck into a slice of this instead.

        Yeah, last year I gave into the whole early pumpkin thing and then I was totally over it by the time October got here. I am resisting this year!

      amen! We are not ready for our fall harvest yet and I am loving all the summertime fare. Winter always lasts too long anyway so I am holding on to my summertime meals for as long as the farm keeps producing! This pizza looks fantastic.

        I know, winter is a drag, isn't it? At first, I'm like, oh yay, winter squash! But then by January, I want to move to Australia so I can use fresh sweet corn again.
