A Salad To Serve With Frozen Pizza Happy Monday! I woke up thinking about this salad this morning and how it is the perfect Summer meal idea.

Typically, Friday’s in our house are Frozen Pizza Friday’s. This Pizza Salad is the perfect side for Frozen Pizza Friday.…

Continue ReadingWithout fail, Mister Tipsy texts me everyday, halfway through his work day, to ask me what we are having for dinner. Last week when he texted me and asked and I responded with my answer that we were having Zesty Bean Salad, I didn’t get the typical excited response.
