It is definitely a go-to food in our house. And our kiddos are always on the countdown till Pizza Friday! Yay! We have found that some pizza can be expensive depending on the location and type. We have also found that the quality of pizza can vary greatly from place to place. This is when we came up with our ingenious idea for a date night. We were looking for good, affordable pizza and we decided to try all of the pizzerias within a few miles of our house. Yes, all of them. No, we didn't just order one pizza from each place week after week. No one wants to eat an entire pizza that they don't like that much. We had ONE date night and went to close to 10 pizzerias.

I love the backyard barbeques, the pool parties, and the bonfires. Mostly, I think I just love summer, the warm weather, and the time to lazily spend with friends and family. But no backyard barbeque would be complete without some patriotic swag. These quick and easy to make pretzels dipped in white chocolate are a crowd favorite. It's fun to decorate the pretzels with a random pattern or a flag design. Even the kiddos helped out with this one.

Do not overheat because they will burn. I typically microwave for one minute and stir and then check in 15 second increments, stirring each time, until fully melted. Af...
