Pepperoni Bread

Superbowl Sunday is tomorrow!  Let the parties begin!  I know that everybody is always looking for new appetizers to bring to get-togethers because, let's face it, the buffalo chicken dip is starting to get old.  It's so delicious, don't get me wrong, but predictable.  I've been bringing homemade pepperoni bread to parties for about 4 years, and I swear it's always the first food to go.  Maybe it's because each loaf only yields 12 slices or so...but I like to think it's because the recipe is SO GOOD.   I've even had friends come a little early to my house when i'm throwing a party so they could make sure they get one of the first slices right out of the oven!  I love how it's a finger food that seems fancy, but only takes about 30 minutes from start to finish!  Try it tomorrow!

Go Bills!

If there is one thing to know about Howie, it's that he's an avid Buffalo Bills fan.  He watches them religiously every Sunday of football season, and has been since he was old enough to understand what football was.  If you need a visual, he's the guy walking around the Browns opening day tailgate wearing a Bills jersey and matching Bills sunglasses when we have club seat tickets to the Browns vs. Saints game.  Yes, this actually happened in September.  I definitely wanted to incorporate this obsession into his Christmas present, and I decided that I should paint him an art panel with the team logo on it so he can rep the Bills all year long!
