    Looks just like the ones they sell at Dominos Pizza! We LOVE them! Now that we've moved back to rural country, there's no Dominos...so I am sooo happy to see this recipe! :)

    I wish I could make these! Unfortunately we have an egg allergy in our house and I cannot substitute 5 eggs with success. Maybe one day when the hubby and I are alone I make these for us as a special treat.

    I got so under the weather this week that I couldn't blog on Friday. I missed "Feasting in Fellowship Fridays." :'(

    I'm starting to feel better now. I don't even know what was wrong with me exactly, I just knew I wasn't doing well.

    I digress, that looks delicious! Janelle definitely cooks the kind of food I love to eat. :)

I LOVE hearing from my readers and I pray for you all regularly. I try to respond to questions in the comment section as quickly as I can - within 1-3 days.

Due to an overflowing email inbox and the desire to keep my husband, children and home first priority in my life, I am no longer able to answer personal emails at this time. I apologize.
