Bell Bottoms and Bubble Up Pizza

Wearing: Remember how I said I bought two pairs of jeans at Gap this weekend? Today pair numero deux makes its debut. I’m really jumping full-force on the 70s trend train. I can’t help myself! I fell in love with this pair of jeans when I tried them on; something about the high waist, the faded color and the exaggerated bell leg made them irresistible.

In other, unrelated, news, hiding Ellie’s new toy did prevent early morning squeaking. However, until I can find a way to hide all the neighborhood cats, my alarm clock problem still won’t be solved. 

Eating: Pizza is a favorite at my house, and I’m always looking for new interpretations of this classic meal. In fact, if there’s a recipe that involves bread, cheese, and pepperoni, there’s a pretty good chance I’ve tried it.

When I came across this recipe for Bubble Up Pizza (from Pass the Sushi), I was happily surprised that it was one I haven’t yet tried. It’s like a pizza casserole made with cut up biscuit dough, pizza sauce, pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese. It was unbelievably easy to make—just mix the ingredients and put them in a pan and bake! (FYI: I had to bake mine for a lot longer than what the recipe called for. It was in the oven for about 30 minutes, and towards the end I covered it with foil to keep it from getting too brown.)

What kinds of meals are you constantly recreating at your house? (And if it’s Hamburger Helper, that’s okay too! I've been down that road a time or two.)
