BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO MARINA MAKES Hi friends! I’m Marina from Marina Makes (marinamakesblog.com). I’m so excited that cooking is a part of this month’s date night. I hope you’ll try my suggested enhancements to the pizza - they really help elevate the flavors of the delicious dough, sauce, cheese and spices included in your box. I’d love to see how your food turns out, so please feel free to share pictures on social media.

Don’t forget to use the hashtag, #marinamakeseats.

Happy eating!
