Breakfast Pizza

This is one of my favorite breakfast to make ever but it is time consuming for sure. However, if you are smart, unlike me, you can make and cook the pizza crust the day before and have it ready for the next morning, then all you have to do is make your eggs, bulldog gravy (this is what my granny calls it), bacon and sausage. But it is what it is.. Making the dough fresh is one of my favorite things to smell and do. It is super easy when you have a good quality bread machine ( Amazon store front ). Bulldog gravy is something my granny made all the time for us, it was a treat of course due to it mainly being bacon grease, flour and milk. 😂 Start with cooking your bacon, use that for the gravy.  Bulldog Gravy: 1/4-1/2 Cup Bacon Grease 1/4 Cup Flour Milk (I just pour until its not thick then thicken it) Salt & Pepper, to taste -Place grease in sauce pot, warm up. Add flour and cook off for 1-2 mins be sure to whisk often. Now, pour milk, I usually just add enough milk to thin out the

Crochet Granny Square w/ Ruffles!





























How stinkin' cute is this! Honestly? I love making granny squares for many reasons. One, they work up super fast (as fast as you go). Two, you can play with the colors easily and hide tails away as you work. And three,  they just look so pretty when they are done, as if you spend tons and tons of hours on them. One this I completely dislike about them is the ends, they just look so plain. I started by adding the shell stitch to my ends of the granny squares and those ended up being my favorite, but I started to hate the look and wanted more. So, I saw a picture on Pinterest of these ruffles and wanted to figure out how to make them (since it was a paid pattern) I just started working on it until it looked some what like I saw and this is what I came up with. The picture above does have a basic crochet head, two ears, and a basic bow (to make Minnie Mouse- no pattern for this, just make the basic's and you're good) the ears, however, I increased 2 rows and stopped because they looked big enough. I have used this exact ruffles on a baby dress 6 or 7 months ago that I made for my best friend; so cute!
