pizza monkey bread

 found this deelicious inspiration for our "football" dinner 

I made my own version...

mmmm-mozzarella! 

pull-apart pizza knots

• 1 can Pillsbury buttermilk biscuits 
• 20 pepperoni slices
• 2 mozzarella cheese sticks, cubed
• 1 egg [for wash]
• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
• 2 cups marinara sauce

directions:

1. Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Generously grease the bottom and sides of desired casserole dish with non-stick spray.
3. Pop open biscuit can. 
4. Split each biscuit in half.
5. Make each half into mini pizza circle. 
6. Layer with 1 pepperoni [cut in fourths] and 1 mozzarella cube.
7. Bring biscuit dough up around cheese + pepperoni to form a "knot."
8. Repeat with remaining biscuits, pepperonis, and cheese. 
9. Place in casserole dish, pinched side down, and pushed up against other knots. 
10. Brush egg wash over knots when finished. 
11. Dust with Italian seasoning and sea salt.
12. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until tops begin to brown. 
13. Meanwhile, heat marinara sauce in microwave or stove-top. 
14. When finished-let cool, pull-apart, dunk, and enjoy!!

2. These amazing bowls are one of my favorite kitchen tools.

 they were a wedding gift from one of my favorite ladies on the planet! {SDS}

 3. Rotisserie Chicken

the smell alone can cause one to want to pull-over 

on the way home from the store just to sample a-piece. just sayin'

something I love to do,

 is get one-- pull off the legs & save them for dinner. 

then I shred the remaining chicken + make a chicken salad for sandwiches for the week! 

shredded chicken + equal parts mayo & mustard + chopped green onion + shredded carrots
yum!
