Simple Mediterranean Pizza
If you are looking for a simple recipe to get you through another week you'll love this simple mediterranean pizza. It's one of the recipes I taught my assistant Jennalynn how to make on Friday afternoon during our DIY fun. I had her go create the shopping list, check off the items I already had in the pantry, and then and hit the grocery store. All important skills for a young lady to learn!

Beer Cheese Fondue
New Year's Eve has always been a low-key holiday for me. I like to stay home and enjoy yummy snacks, champagne, and watch the ball drop. The best part about living in California is that you can see the ball drop in NYC at 9pm. It's kind of cheating, but it's great to get to go to bed early! (Yes, I'm an old lady!) I made this amazing beer cheese fondue on Christmas Day and I might have to make it again tonight! It is SO good!
