A beautiful braided pizza crust stuffed with pepperoni, pizza sauce and tons of ooey-gooey melted cheese. An easy dinner or quick game-day appetizer!

INGREDIENTS

1 can Pillsbury™ refrigerated classic pizza crust

1/2 cup pizza sauce

2 cups shredded mozzarella and/or cheddar cheese, divided

2/3 cup pepperoni slices, divided, plus more for topping

Brazilian Lemonade

Brazilian Lemonade

Ingredients

6 cups cold water

1 cup sugar

4 limes

6 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

Mix water and sugar together until sugar is dissolved. Put in the fridge to chill until ready to use.

Use soap and water to thoroughly wash the limes. You want to scrub really well because you are going to be using the whole lime! After you've washed and scrubbed your limes, cut the ends off the limes (DO NOT MISS THIS STEP!) and then cut them into eighths.

Place half of the limes and half of the sugar water in your blender and pulse 5 times. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into the pitcher that you are going to serve it in. Discard the pulp. Repeat with the second half of your limes and sugar water. Mix in the sweetened condensed milk. Serve over lots of ice.

*A Couple Of Notes From Our Favorite Girls Over At Our Best Bites

When picking your limes, try to pick out the ones with the thinnest, smoothest skin possible. Supposedly they are less bitter and the most juicy. If you do end up with a more bitter drink, add more sugar and maybe even a little more sweetened condensed milk to taste.

The New Years' Feast

Every New Years' Eve we make a huge feast for the littles. They all get to choose one item for the menu (usually the same every year). This year was a big one… And we all managed to stay up till midnight.

Sliders with cheese and bacon for the eldest boy… I choose a plate of crudités. Also made some turkey croquettes (always trying to find ways to get rid of leftovers.
