Goat Cheese Arugula Pizza

Goat Cheese Arugula Pizza

I saw this recipe and knew my husband would love it.  It was a little expensive to make but very easy, especially since I purchased a pre-made pizza crust.  I had seen the crusts at Hy-Vee and wanted to try them.  I probably won’t buy them every time but I was pressed for time and thought they were a good option (and they were!). Ingredients: 6 tablespoons prepared pesto sauce … [Read more...]

Sausage Sandwich Squares

 This recipe is another family favorite that I’ve been making for years.  The recipe filling includes sausage and cheese but you could include anything you want.  My family recently suggested adding eggs and making it a breakfast sandwich.  I hadn’t thought of that!  You can also serve it as an appetizer by cutting the squares smaller.  See – versatile!  I like … [Read more...]
