To Mom, with love --
In today's tough economic times, putting lots of love into a Mother's Day gift doesn't require spending a lot of money. Like many college students, a large group of Moms would simply appreciate sharing a slice of pizza with their son or daughter. Moms love pizza too! Pizza and Pajamas discovered in the May issue of Bon Appetit a great pizza recipe with potatoes! Yes, a pizza recipe using potatoes as a topping! Yum! Feeling adventurous, this new pizza recipe would be a fun way to share time with Mom in the kitchen and learn some cooking skills! Potato Pizza Recipe. If you want a more traditional potato recipe, do try my Mom's potato salad recipe. It's easy and made with an apple-cider vinegar dressing.

Ask the Night Owls –
Do you know what Celiac Disease is or what eating Gluten-Free means?
For students who need to eat gluten free (generally defined as meaning “no wheat products”), trying to find a gluten-free pizza at a restaurant is like trying to find “Pizzas from Heaven.” If you are a college student who thinks you might have a gluten-free sensitivity, please explore the symptoms of celiac disease.
But there is help on the way for those college students located close to Uno Chicago Grill, a national pizza franchise based in Boston. On January 14, 2009, this pizza chain issued a press release that it was the first national casual dining chain to offer a gluten free pizza. YEA!!
Now college students who have celiac disease or have a wheat intolerance/wheat allergy can be just like the college majority and share a slice of late-night munching! Add your college zip code to find the closest Uno Chicago Grill to your dorm room!
