Eat Dessert First

Tuesday, on our anniversary,
William brought me a very fun gift --
He went by Sugar Daddy Desserts
(2411 College Hills Blvd in San Angelo)
and brought home The Round-up !!
This is basically a "sampler" plate
of all the wonderful, creamy, chocolatey
yummy desserts Sugar Daddy offers.
What fun !!This little state of Texas is filled with creamy goodness
and covered in white chocolate.
My very favorite of all his creations
are the ones with chipolte.
WOW!! What surprising flavor...chocolate
combined with heat !
As it should be, I say. These little babies are called Buckshot. One perfect mouthful
that just explodes with flavor --
seriously, these chocolates are meant to be
savored, not chomped !
The big chocolates in the corners --
William's favorites,
they are filled with caramel
and pecans.

Okay !! It's ALL good !
And aren't they just beautiful.
Almost too pretty to eat. Almost.

While at Sugar Daddy's,
William was given these very pretty
roses to bring home for
our special day.

They are made of wood!
Isn't that crazy?
I love that!


And HERE is the Greek pizza I made, from scratch
for our dinner.
It turned out so very good!
I've never made "from scratch"
pizza dough before.
This was really pretty easy, but
truly not exceptional enough
to be worth the effort again.
I'll probably just go with the little
pouches you add water with
and mix and go.
BUT --- the toppings....
THAT was pretty spectacular.
Super simple!
Just a matter of throwing stuff on top:
a jar of pizza sauce
browned ground lamb
2 cups grated mozarella
2 cups baby spinach leaves
1 cup cocktail tomatoes, slice in half
1 can black olives, sliced
1 + cup crumbled feta cheese
1 medium red onion, in rings
a handful fresh basil, torn and thrown on
Bake 30-35 minutes or until crust is to your liking
and the cheeses are all melty.
Soooo good!
Give it a try !

  1. Happy Anniversary. My 30th is coming up next month. The chocolates look fabulous and the wooden roses are very pretty and unique.

    The Greek pizza looks so delicious. I like lamb, but have never had it on a pizza. Yummy!
