French Bread Pizza tonight!

May 3, 2014 by eghassett

Sooooo Easy!!!  I recommend spinach and mushrooms for your toppings, and if you want meat tonight, add some browned sausauge.  Use Ciabatta bread, leaving more room for flavor from toppings instead of too much bread in each bite. Click on the picture for full recipe.  Serve with a side salad and a glass of Cabernet…

Cheesy broccoli and brown rice bake

I found a homemade cream of chicken soup recipe that makes these types of casseroles much healthier. It’s quick and easy and tastes so much better than condensed soups.
