These chicken avocado sandwiches are irresistible. Served on fried pizza dough, they’re layered with roasted red pepper mayo, crisp lettuce, fresh tomato and melty cheese. Absolutely delicious.

Want to know something a little embarrassing? I seriously live for school supplies. Not joking—this time of year always gets me. I walk into Target and want to hide inside, like Joey + Pacey hiding out in a quirky TV moment.
