Back to reality: September 1-14th

Ahhhh. . . . September is the perfect time to take a nice deep breath (as long as you're not going to back to school!) Phew! We made it through the summer and now it's coming up my my favorite time of year - Fall and leading up to The Holiday Season! I cannot wait for the holidays to come! Get ready!

Happy Cheese Pizza Day! First we have a delicious Chicago-Style Deep Dish Pizza recipe coming to use straight from Karly at Buns in my Oven. I have been wanting to utilize my cast iron skillet for JUST this very purpose! Next, we have How Sweet It Is' White Pizza Dip - perfect for any occasion with tasty crackers or bread to dip! Yum!

Need a new book to read? Me too! Well, I have a secret - I am TERRIBLE at picking books for myself. I get caught up in the library atmosphere and think I am more sophisticated than I actually am and end up bringing home ten crappy books that are NOTHING like my preferred reading style. Check out my Readables Pin Board for solid recommendations from Eat, Live, Run / GoodLife Eats / Marc and Angel - as well as What Should I Read Next's handy tool to help you find a book that fits your very own style!
