Thinking about heading out to your local pizza joint tonight? Forget about it! You can easily knock together a few ingredients for the best pizza that’s ever touched your tongue. Not only is this pizza packed with flavorful spices, cheese, and veggies, it’s neatly compacted into a loaf, making it the best creation since sliced bread…er…pizza rolls. Sprinkle a little parmesan cheese or, “Farmer John cheese,” as my kids used to call it when they were little, and perfection is made.

This pizza is definitely not your ordinary, every-day slice of pie but what fun is ordinary anyway? You literally have the option to combine any type of vegetables that you please to this wondrous creation of fresh dough, zippy sauce, and stringy cheese. Another great thing about eating your pizza in roll-form is the lack of mess. All the good stuff is hidden within the walls of the pizza dough. Genius!

If you’re like me, you’re probably used to stuffing things in shells and other carb crazy options.  What if you could get the same taste, but the shell was good for you?  Yes please!  These zucchini boats are stuffed with zesty Italian sausage, and all the love!

This recipe takes about 45 minutes, and makes 8 boats.  It’s the perfect solution for a mid-week meal, and one your whole family can enjoy.  Forget about “Taco Tuesday,” because this one can be “Zucchini Any-Day!”  If spices bother you, skip the hot sausage and just double down on the regular, sweet, loose sausage.

Switch up using ground beef in your meatballs and try hot Italian sausage for a flavorful and spicy meat you will love. These easy sausage meatball subs are perfect for a quick weeknight meal that is different from your ordinary meatball subs.

This recipe calls to melt the cheese on the bread before loading up the meatballs but feel free to melt some extra provolone, mozzarella, or other favorite cheese on top. Serve this up with some chips on the side and enjoy!

Looking for a super simple dinner…and fast?! This one has it all. Grilled chicken that’s marinated in a homemade balsamic marinade makes one juicy and flavorful meat!

Place that protein under the broiler topped with fresh mozzarella and tomato and watch that cheese melt. Drizzle some balsamic vinegar over top and dinner is served…wasn’t that easy?! For a low carb meal serve it with a side salad and veggies. If counting carbs isn’t your thing, opt for rice or pasta. This will be your new go-to meal when dinner time is quickly approaching!

It’s amazing the things you can bread foods with.  It seems the possibilities are endless, but have you ever considered making something encrusted in the favorite kid’s cracker “Goldfish?”

These mozzarella sticks truly make mouths happy.  The recipe is simple, with only 4 ingredients, it serves about 10 people, and I can guarantee you’ll want to make 2 batches, because these will be gone in minutes.
