I wanted to take the time to apologize to anyone who tried to access the site over the last couple of days and received an error message. My blog was transitioning into a new server and unfortunately it was down a lot more time than I had originally anticipated. Thankfully, everything migrated over smoothly and it is finally back up and running as normal. Just in time too, as I can now share this Quick and Easy Pizza from this week’s episode of Married and Hungry! I don’t know if you go through this or not, but sometimes I’m in the biggest mood for pizza and calling for delivery just isn’t always the best option. This pizza is amazing for something that comes out of your oven. The homemade dough is made with beer, which might sound a bit odd, but works so well for a fast pizza dough that comes together in no time at all, with not much kneading and no rising time at all! The toppings might be endless, but that just means you’ll have to make it as often as possible to try them all out!

I was raised Catholic and so during Lent, we ate a lot of fish on Fridays in my house. To this day, I still have a craving for it, more so, during this particular time of year. 
I have an undying love of Shake Shack, which is quite the loaded statement to make considering I’m a native Angeleno and this is home of In-N-Out Burger after all. I still remember the first time I had a Shake Shack burger in New York—and I don’t mean to sound facetious at all when I say this—but my entire burger-eating life changed from that moment on. They are, to me, the most delicious fast food burger out there (my only issue is that they’re very tiny) and I got way too excited when they started opening shacks here in Los Angeles, and even more so now that there is a location opening up right down the street from me in Pasadena. Which is just as dangerous as it is exciting. The recipe for these smash burgers comes from the Shake Shack cookbook, 
I love love LOVE egg rolls. They’re my favorite part about ordering Chinese take out, my second favorite part is getting to eat the take out on the couch in front of the TV, but that’s another story for another time. I’ve made various egg rolls on this blog over the years, such as these 
I’m always on the lookout for simple weeknight meals that I can make after a long day of working. And for me that means a long day of already being in the kitchen cooking all day long. So by the end of a work day, the last thing I really want to do is get back into the kitchen and cook some elaborate meal that’ll take way too long. I realize I’m not the only person who feels like this, and instead of pulling up to the drive-thru window, why not try your hand at a few simple weeknight meals that you can get on the table in no time at all? This 
I have said it time and time again, and I’ll continue to say it until I’m blue in the face, but a gift from the heart that you make at home, will always mean much more than something you can buy in any store. On Valentine’s Day especially, you should get in the kitchen and make your special someone, or your friends or just yourself, a delicious meal at home. Going out to a restaurant on February 14th is completely overrated and adds too much pressure on everyone involved. And I’m saying this as a married man. Believe me, cooking at home, even making it a fun thing you both do together, even if you’re not that well-versed in the kitchen, is so entertaining. This Dinner for Two: Chicken Roulade is not only delicious but actually really fun to cook up. If you’re looking for more dinner for two ideas, this
