Making pizza bites with crescent rolls is just one idea. Why not make some buffalo chicken dip bites too?
Back to school, joyful or dreadful? I guess that depends on if you’re a parent, or if you’re going into 6th grade with your new braces on for the first time.
I loved school. Back to school time always seemed kind of magical to me. We spent our summers away, so school starting meant getting to see my friends for the first time in months. I loved getting new clothes and school supplies, and can still recall the nervous feeling of wondering what the new year would bring. Plus, us midwesterners were always anxious for the sweltering humidity of summer to give way to the cooler temperatures of fall.
These days back to school time has lost its luster a bit. Deep down I can still recall that unique feeling of anticipation, but without any kids of my own, and with no school age kids in my immediate daily life, its kind of just another day.
The most significant part of this time of the year now is the end of tourist season in our little beach town. Once labor day rolls around parking gets easier, the stores and streets get less crowded, and us locals finally have our beautiful community all to ourselves with many weeks of perfect summer weather still ahead of us.
September in San Diego is much more magical to me than back to school time ever was.
Despite not feeling the back to school excitement, I have recently committed myself to a more rigorous work schedule, and The Hubs is on the go as always, so I think we deserve some “back to school” snacks for our efforts.
The Gals in my 12 Bloggers crew and I got together this month to bring you 12 awesome back to school snack recipes. These are perfect for kids of all ages, or if you’re married to an overgrown, bottomless pit 13 year old like I am, they’re perfect for that too. Everyone is busy, so let us help you make feeding your family just a little bit easier.

I feel the same way about Vegas once summer is over. Of course, we don’t live on the strip, but after summer, that’s when I like to visit the strip and do fun stuff. Less crowds, easier to get around. Ha, and not as hot. Your pizza bites look super yummy…combo of two of my favorite things!
