Homemade pizza is relatively easy, although the dough I make sits for 1 hour so it does take some time. You could of course just use pre-made dough if desired, but then you wouldn’t need this recipe. 😉 Are there better, more authentic pizza dough recipes out there? Probably.

@shurri88 and I wandered Windsor Gardens looking at Christmas lights the other day. Want to see some lights but not sure where to go? That retirement community knows how to bring it, #goals. One building was even showing Rudolph, the movie. Does our selfie look a little evil? Wasn't intentional, lol, but maybe it's revealing our hidden selves? Had to include my Christmas selfie with Pippin too. Hope everyone is having a great holiday season! Happy Christmas Eve.
