Welcome to my virtual kitchen!

I hope you enjoy your visit here, whether it’s your first time or your 30th. I first started sharing my recipes as Facebook Notes, until my friends began asking how they could share them with their friends; so I gathered my courage and tiptoed into the world of blogging via Tumblr. As interest in my blog started “cooking,” my wonderful hubby set me up at WordPress with my own domain. (All the content from my previous blog moved here as well.) Let me know what you think, and be sure to bookmark it for future reference!

My other hobby, scrapbooking, is also documented at WordPress here.

A Love Letter to a Favorite Food 🍕

We are Generation X. Pizza is life for us. I think my great love of pizza started here:

When I hit the teen years, Pizza Hut became the place to hang out. When they introduced the pan pizza, it changed the pizza landscape for pretty much everyone outside of Detroit.

After Pizza Hut, our city got Godfather’s Pizza (the only pizza restaurant where my father would eat), and then finally chains that delivered. My love of pizza grew to frozen varieties like Stouffer’s French Bread Pizza and Totino’s; now there are literally dozens of brands you can buy and bake at home (which is what we had tonight for National Pizza Day).

We now have many local artisan pizza places to satisfy nearly everyone’s preferences: thin crust, thick crust, unique toppings, you name it. Here are some of the best for your viewing pleasure:

We’ve also enjoyed pizza when traveling. Delicioso Pizza at Cabana Bay Beach Resort at Universal Orlando while sitting outside (with the ducks) is a favorite memory.

One of our favorite TV shows even featured pizza in its 4th season, and had tie-in products in stores!

In short, I love pizza. Pizza pizza pizza!
