Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus
I’ve mentioned before how much I love hummus, and this time I tried making Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus! I just love sun-dried tomatoes and I had found a recipe at AllRecipes that sounded good.

Pepperoni Pizza Pasta Casserole
This is a great casserole for people who are pizza-lovers! I thought I’d try a Pizza Spaghetti Casserole recipe I found at MyRecipes, but instead of using pork sausage in it, I used extra pepperoni and cheese so it would taste more like a pepperoni cheese pizza, which is my favorite kind! You can use…
