I found a really cute idea to make pizza for Valentine’s Day and have the pepperoni’s heart shaped. Since I asked Brandon to cook steak for me on Valentine’s Day I knew I had to make the pizza another day. I bought some pepperoni’s at central market and used a tiny heart cookie cutter for the hearts. Brooke and I cut one heart out of each of the pepperoni’s. She loved doing this with me. She would eat a few of the hearts we cut out and then would also give some to Daddy. Such a sweet girl. The pizza turned out great and I think it looked very cute!

Cut hearts out of your pepperoni!

Brandon and I saw this being made on food network and knew we had to try it! Brandon made this dish and it turned out great!!!

I know I have mentioned this before! Every time we go to Waco or pass through Waco we stop in West Texas. Their Czech bakery is so delicious you just have to stop! Well, Brandon always get their sausage puffs and I have always wanted to try to make my own puffs at home. So today I did just that! So for dinner we had breakfast and it was delicious!!!
