Every year, going into the holiday season I have great resolve. This year I will eat healthier. This year I won’t eat so much turkey and stuffing that I feel like a stuffed turkey. This year I will eat apples instead of fudge. This year I won’t eat the entire plate of goodies the neighbor …

BBQ Chicken Personal Pita Pizzas are a fun dinner your whole family will love! I’ve admitted before that my family loves pizza, so we usually eat it once a week. But I kind of like to mix things up sometimes, as I get a bit bored with pepperoni pizza (my husband would be perfectly happy …
