My oldest boy requested this ice cream cake recipe for his birthday dinner. It is the same ice cream cake that I made for him last year. But that’s not surprising, since this is the same kid that wanted to be a firefighter every year for dress up day at school for four years in a…
Fruit Pizza Recipe
This fruit pizza recipe is one of my favorite summer desserts. I made it last year for our family vacation at the beach. We had a great time, made a lot of great memories and yummy food! You just can’t beat fresh fruit, cream cheese frosting and a crisp shortbread crust. Fruit pizza is very simple to put together, but…
Frappuccino Recipe
This frappucciono recipe has been affectionately re-named “Happyccinno.” It’s my treat of choice when things get crazy around here, which means that I drink these regularly. Baby spit up on you?

Breadstick Recipe
This breadstick recipe is a family favorite, and it takes less than 90 minutes from start to finish. We can’t keep our hands off of them. I think they taste like the breadsticks from a famous ‘hut’ of pizza restaurants. Only these are better. This breadstick recipe makes 2 dozen, so there’s usually enough for…
Greek Salad Dressing Recipe
A good Greek salad dressing recipe may not sound life changing. But please trust me on this…it IS life changing. This is our very, very favorite seasoning mix. It makes the most divine and authentic Greek Pizzaria style dressing, but it’s also become our house seasoning blend. I keep both the ranch dressing seasoning mix,…
