I decided to shake things up a bit with this e-book. Previously, I had used a service to take care of the sending out the e-book to people, but the service cost money, so I charged a small amount for the e-book to help cover costs…and I just didn’t feel very good about doing that.
So now, I’ve decided to make the e-book available for download at no cost, right from my blog.

I never really thought I would like BBQ Chicken Pizza, but I have a friend obsessed with BBQ sauce; several years ago when we went out for pizza, I let him talk me into a thin crust BBQ Chicken Pizza.
It was really, really good.

I can be a bit scattered at times. I also have some commitment issues. As much as I love this blog, I keep getting ideas for other “formats” for a cooking or baking blog. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve either started, or considered starting, other blogging projects, all revolving around food. And then I usually just ask myself, why not just consolidate? Why do you need 99 blogs?
This particular grouping of posts came from one of those other projects. But, the thought of keeping that project going and going just took too much of my time. Plus, with daylight hours dwindling, I simply don’t have the ability to snap photos of my dinner every night anymore. As it is, some of the photos from this series of posts will have used the flash, a big no-no when it comes to food photography (unless you have a super-expensive flash or lights, which I don’t have the budget for right now. If you really want to see my dinner everynight, I accept gifts. :))
So are you wondering what on earth I’m talking about yet?

I’m about to share with you an easy make-ahead recipe that could potentially save you from losing your mind during the middle of a busy week: the make-ahead pizza crust.
Think about it. The crust is often the part that has you nixing the thought of making homemade pizza during the week, and good intentions for a fun Friday night dinner might fly out the window when you’re simply too tired or hungry. Enter the make-ahead crust.
All you need to do is take an extra hour or two on the weekend to make your crusts, then pop them in the freezer until an emergency strikes. Of course, these crusts are so awesome that you just might have an emergency a few nights in a row. Not that I’m speaking from experience or anything.
