Welcome back, y’all! I’m back to cooking after my surgery! I’m so excited! The surgery went great and I am finally out of pain! I lost pretty much all the strength in my left arm (that is the arm that the nerve was pinched in, radiating from the herniated disc in my neck).

As we come fresh off April Fool’s Day, I thought I’d throw a fun post your way and the story behind it. It was fun for me, don’t know about the rest of the family, but I attempted to share the enjoyment as best I could. Who would’ve thought a frozen pizza pie

Happy Monday, Y’all! There is a lot going on in this one. We have greens. We have fruit. We have starches. So, what do we need?
