Now I know that you all have been enjoying
your fair share of chocolate lately.
If you have been hanging out here with me…
you have a least been viewing a lot of chocolate.
Did you know when VIEWING CHOCOLATE you actually consume less calories,
than when you actually EAT CHOCOLATE.
I know! Really amazing!
Aren’t you surprised by the very
intellectual things you learn when you drop by to visit with me.
Today we are taking a little break from Chocolate,
and dessert,
and sugar.
What better to replace it with than bread!
And cheese,
and a yummy red sauce.
I think you are going to like taking a break!
1. Put all sauce ingredients into a small food processor and blend until smooth.
2. Cut your French Bread into 1 1/2 inch slices.
3. Spread a bit of butter on one side of each slice.
4. Lay the buttered side down on a large cookie sheet. Cover with some red sauce.
5. Add a bit of the Mozzarella.
6. Lay on those pepperoni, baby.
7. Cover with some Parmesan.
8. Grind a little Italian Seasoning over the top.
9. Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Or…until the bottoms are crispy and golden and the tops are melted and bubbly.
Enjoy!

yum!
look amazing. My daughter loves to help me make pizza. I just started looking at your site and I am VERY pleased to see that you have a lot of recipes that are not only tasty looking but something “normal” everyday people can make. Thank you
I think you really saved me from a meltdown at lunchtime with this recipe. Easy, quick, delicious ๐ Thanks so much!
Another great recipe. I made these last night and they were so good! I loved the pizza sauce, I froze the rest of it so I can easily make these again. Thanks!
