I don't about you, but I'm almost always in the mood for pizza and I love that there are lots of varieties to choose from. Sometimes we enjoy indulging in a thick-crusted pie with lots of toppings and a thick layer of oozy cheese but on other days it's nice to keep the carbs in check with a thin, crisp-crusted rendition.

  1. Chris, I've Loved your recipes for years, and especially appreciate your "What we're listening to" section. It's helped us find new Christian artists! I wanted to let you know that I'm having trouble with the Search feature on your blog. When I click on the magnifying glass, the search window pops up briefly, then disappears. I'm using a Google Pixel 6A to browse your website, if that matters.
    Thanks for all the wonderful recipes! ❤️

    1. Hi Laura, thanks for your kind words. I'm so happy you've enjoyed the recipes an songs!
      Regarding the "search", I'm not sure what is going on. I checked it on my computer and it was fine but when I looked on my phone, I ran into the same issue. I will have my IT person look into this. Thanks!
