As summer comes to a close this evening, I would like to pay homage to a favorite taste of summer*: The S'More. * Also fall, and winter. And I have never turned down a Spring S'More. My cousin SFH put the idea for Indoor S'Mores for a Group in my head before her annual July 4 party this year, and it has been looming large since then. She ... view more

Breakfast Pizza {Bacon, Chicken Sausage, Spinach, Potato, Egg}
Breakfast Pizza. Let's go there. I was a little too excited to realize this is technically an "in-stock" recipe. I usually have all of the things needed to make this recipe in my apartment.

I stumbled upon this idea when I was prepping to give a small-group cooking class in my home.
