Pizza Dough You Can Toss {Bread Machine}

When I found this pizza dough recipe at first I was like, “Oh, I don’t need another pizza dough recipe.” But then, I just realized this one had a few less ingredients than the other Pizza Dough Recipe that I usually use, so I decided to give it a shot. When I started rolling it out, something made me pick it up and start stretching it out with my fists and I tossed it up. It tossed beautifully! I was kind-a pumped. 🙂

Bacon Pizza {Homemade}

The other night, I had some cooked bacon that I needed to use before it went bad. I also had some homemade dough in the fridge, so this homemade bacon pizza came to mind. It turned out amazingly! Who doesn’t bacon? Who doesn’t love bacon? I put this pizza down, turned around to get a drink, and there were just 2 pieces left! Next time, I’ll know to make a double batch.

Who doesn't love pizza? And who doesn't love bacon? Well why not put them together in a homemade bacon pizza. Delicious!

Servings: 4
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:
Fresh dough or refrigerated dough
1 jar of pizza sauce (I use homemade sauce)
3 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
8 pieces of finely chopped cooked bacon

Sausage, Shrimp, And Spinach Bowl

While in Atlanta a few weeks ago, Rob and I enjoyed a meal at Steamhouse Lounge. We got the Sausage, Shrimp, And Spinach dip, that was absolutely killer! That dip inspired this meal. After my initial time making it, I plan to tweak it, which I’ve noted in the directions below.

This Sausage, Shrimp, And Spinach Bowl is a bowl of comfort, perfect for those brisk nights.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

Labor Day at the Braves

Today I’m sharing about our day at Turner Field watching our beloved Braves play.

On Labor Day this year, we went to the Braves Game. It was a blistering hot day, but we managed to enjoy ourselves even though the Braves lost to the Phillies.

We found our seats, which were great by the way. Then, we got up to go see if we were early enough to see the pep rally that they do out on the concourse.
