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!

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 🙂 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!
