20190129_125710
I made this sandwich originally with leftovers and my Hubby just loved it, so now I make it on purpose for him sometimes at our daily lunch date.

Pepperoni & Cheese Soft Pretzels: Revisited


Linda’s post put me in mind of a previous blog I did in January of 2017. And… Since it is tax season again, I am back to catering to all the employees at my Hubby’s firm on Fridays. They work so hard and I love to spoil them, so this Friday I will make a new version along with a hearty soup and share next week… but here is the previous blog post from 2017…

“When I lived in Philadelphia I would go almost every day to a corner vendor for a Philly soft pretzel for lunch. I’m sure it wasn’t the best thing to do, but it certainly fit my college budget! I sometimes get the hankering for a good homemade soft pretzel. Today I made them a little different. I added pepperoni and cheese!!! Serve with some cheese dip and a little marinara and you have pizza in a pretzel. You can also make little bite size pieces which would be great for your upcoming Super Bowl Party!!”

I’m trying to start the year with a healthy bang!

A delicious addition to our Meatless Meal Menu…Here’s to a healthy and happy New Year! Continue reading

Lasagna Soup

I made my Decadent Lasagna With Bolognese for Christmas Dinner this year along with a whole ham. There was about a half a sheet left because I always make too much. Oh well! That’s when I decided to turn it into Lasagna Soup. It was even better in a soup. So if you’re like me and you make too much lasagna, consider turning it into a soup for the next day’s lunch.
