Cookbook Review {Sweet}

Food Network Magazine’s newest cookbook is a must have for all dessert lovers. This book will have you so eager to jump in the kitchen and start making these beautiful desserts. I found many recipes in every chapter of this book that I want to try. I especially love the Fake-out Cakes and the Show-off Cakes. My son requested the Salted Caramel Ice Cream Cone Cake from the Frozen Treats chapter for his birthday. The Truffles and the Bark are 2 recipes that I’ve already added to my Christmas party menu.

I highly recommend you check this book out. The beautiful photographs will have you wishing you had magical powers so you can just make the pictures come to life in a snap. Sweet would make a great Christmas gift for those dessert lovers.

I received a copy of The Skinnytaste Cookbook from Blogging for Books in exchange for writing an honest review.

Happy National Pizza Month!

October is National Pizza Month! To commemorate this, I gathered up all my pizza recipes! If you love pizza as much as I do, you’re super pumped about that. All of these recipes can be made with homemade dough or refrigerated pizza dough and both will be good using either.

October is National Pizza Month, but regardless of what month it is Pizza is always a favorite.  Be sure to check this post out to see some amazing Pizza Recipes!

Pizza Dough that you can make in the bread machine.
BBQ Chicken Pizza adds a little variety to your pizza selection.
Hawaiian Chicken Pizza is covered with ham, pineapple, chicken and cheese and is one of my kids favorites.
Homemade Sausage Pizza is my go to pizza. You could easily swap the sausage for pepperoni, if that’s your favorite.
Bacon Pizza is great for all you pig lovin’ folks out there. I mean, really! Who doesn’t love bacon?
Dough You Can Throw made in the bread machine as well!
Pizza Roll-Ups is variation on the normal pizza. I enjoy making these to bring to tailgates and parties as they are easier to transport than regular pizza. They are also great to make ahead and freeze.
