Butternut Squash and Bacon Pizza

categories: Bacon, Pizza, Recipes, Savory, Whole Grains

This is my absolute perfect winter pizza.

And by that I mean it’s my perfect how-is-it-still-zero-degrees-on-March-2nd pizza.

I can’t look ahead to asparagus and artichokes and other signs of spring. I can’t think about bathing suits or sunshine or Vitamin D. It’s just too painful. Let’s just hang out here, in our PJs in the middle of the day (because obviously we haven’t been outside yet), gazing out of our snow-filled windows and eating butternut squash and bacon pizza. This is my happy place right now.

Spicy Black Bean Hummus

Let’s talk beans for a sec.

I have a strange love for beans. Not that enjoying beans is weird, but when you tell people you LOVE beans? You get some strange looks. Beans aren’t one of those things that you think of when you think of your ultimate-desert-island-favorite-foods, ya know? And I’m here to tell you I think that’s completely unfair.

Guys…I HATE winter.

I hate that it takes me 5 solid minutes of intense bundling to run to the grocery store. I hate that it gets dark at 4pm. I super-hate running on the treadmill. And I super-super-hate polar vortexes. I grew up in Southern California and my body just. can’t. deal.

Sausage Pizza Rolls

categories: Appetizers / Finger Foods, Pizza, Recipes, Savory

The Super Bowl is exactly 2 weeks from today, and I could not be more excited! I love sports. Not playing them, of course, just watching them while eating. Duh.

In honor of the ultimate sports (ahem, food) event of the year, I have 2 recipes – one savory and one sweet – comin’ atcha before the big day for you to whip up for your Super Bowl party. Let’s kick things off with these sausage pizza rolls. Homemade pizza sauce, hot Italian sausage, creamy shredded cheese, and fresh basil are rolled up into an awesome hand-held pocket of deliciousness. Guys, it’s pretty much a homemade Hot Pocket. It’s game day food at its very best.
