Breadsticks with Homemade Pizza Sauce and Homemade Ranch Recipe

I think it was last year that I rekindled my love for breadsticks. I remember being a huge fan of crazy bread (breadsticks from Little Caesars) when I was little, but ever since I moved out and became a person who paid for pizza instead of just eating what my mom ordered, I’d skip ordering breadsticks, because I mistakenly thought pizza over breadsticks.

But then, Mike and I made a stop in Eugene on a Pacific Northwest road trip and decided to order pizza to our hotel room from Sizzle Pie. As we were perusing the menu, the breadsticks caught my eye and I must’ve said something about how breadsticks sounded perfect, even though we never order breadsticks. And even though I said we shouldn’t because carbs with a side of carbs is how one becomes as fluffy as a regular crust pizza, Mike ordered them anyway. Good call Mike, good call, because they were DELICIOUS.

They came with your choice of dipping sauces and we got the standard house red sauce and ranch. Breadsticks and ranch are a match made in heaven – crispy hot doughy pizza dough dipped in creamy ranch…so good! We still don’t order breadsticks here at home (but always do when we’re near Sizzle Pie) but sometimes if I have some no-knead pizza dough hanging out in the fridge, I’ll make some cheesy sticks. If we’re feeling really extra, I’ll make some homemade pizza sauce and ranch for dipping.

Breadsticks, ranch and pizza sauce for everyone!

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Gently roll out the pizza dough into a rough rectangle and cut into 8 sticks. Combine the melted butter and garlic together and generously brush onto the breadsticks. Evenly divide the shredded cheddar and parmesan.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cheese is melty and the breadsticks are golden brown. Enjoy warm with pizza and ranch sauce!

Smoked Salmon and Avocado Summer Rolls

Smoked Salmon and Avocado Summer Rolls Happy Monday friends! Did you guys have a good one? We had a big ol’ Vietnamese eating and drinking party on Saturday. According to Mike, these parties are called “nhậu.” Basically a bunch of people get together, drink and consume massive amounts of beer snacks. It’s kind of like going to an izakaya in Japan, or maybe heading to the bar for happy hour, only we did it at home since there’s no such thing as a Vietnamese bar around here. Funny fact about that: almost all of the Vietnamese restaurants around here are unlicensed because some Vietnamese people get angry when they drink. Just so we’re clear, I have no idea if any of this is true, but considering this theory comes from Mike–who actually is Vietnamese–I’ll take his word for it. Plus, there’s this pretty crazy video of some girls throwing down in a pho restaurant that kinda sorta supports his hypothesis. No word ...

Sunday Brunch with BAE: Bacon Avocado Egg Sandwich

Sunday Brunch with BAE: Bacon Avocado Egg Sandwich I’m a huge fan of breakfast sandwiches, not that I actually eat them at breakfast. I actually fail at adulting because I don’t do breakfast, except for coffee and sometimes medium-soft boiled eggs. Usually, Mike and I will have something around 10 or 11, or even just start our day with lunch. It’s not that we wake up really late – on the contrary, Mike gets up insanely early (around 6) and I wake up between 7 and 8. I’m not quite sure when I started not eating breakfast on the regular because I have really vivid memories of eating cereal as a kid. It was always Corn Pops or Cocoa Pebbles. As a teen I’d make myself a slice of dry white toast to eat while walking to school. Somehow breakfast eating fell along the wayside. But, I’m pretty sure I can get into eating breakfast on the regular, especially if these breakfast sandwiches were on the menu. I mean, you really can’t go wrong with bacon, egg, and avo...

Carrot Cake Cream Cheese Pudding Pops Recipe

Carrot Cake Cream Cheese Pudding Pops Recipe Creamy cheesecake pudding pops with chunks of fluffy carrot cake! Creamy, cold, sweet and cake-y, the best of all worlds :) There’s a very popular ice cream shop here in town that I felt never really lived up to the hype. There would be lines out the door, but the one time I tried something, it was icy and bland. After that I swore, never again. But then, they opened up a second location and Mike and I would walk by almost everyday. One sunny day, when there was magically no line, we popped in to take a look at the flavors. Carrot cake immediately called out to me. I mean, I love carrot cake . I had a taste, was sold, and was the happy new owner of a very addictive waffle cone full of creamy ice cream with fluffy chunks of carrot cake and cream cheese icing . It was so good that I was sad when it was over. Because, the truth is, it was over for good. I’ve been back so many times looking for carrot cake, but they ...
