Hey guys!  Sorry I disappeared for a week there…I was in Canada visiting with my family and attending my cousins wedding (which was beautiful, congratulations to Fallon & Wesley D’Souza!) Any ways… the best time of year is among us–football season.  We all know what that means…tailgating and watching games.  Since Eric got a new 60″ for his birthday, we’ve been having our friends over for the games (aka I get to make appetizers and snacky things for everyone to try out.)  I’m a lover of all things pizza so for the last football game I tried out these mini pepperoni pizza bites.  They were very easy to make and were gobbled up in no time at all.  *Note: I did NOT change anything from the recipe–weird, I know– but next time I would try it with skim milk and turkey pepperoni to lighten it up a bit*
