You know what this Friday needs? A full blown, good old pizza party. Just tons of pizza as far as the eye can see.

Chef Free Meals
I remember when I was younger and learning how to cook, my mom told me, “If you can read, you can cook.” For the most, she’s right. As long as you can read a recipe you can hobble together a meal.

What was I talking about? Right, fudgesicles.
