Ugh – I hated the square dance curriculum during physical education. It was the WORST because we hated dancing with the boys (I can vouch that most of them were pretty gross at the time – ha ha). I’d much rather be eating this beautiful red velvet fruit pizza instead! 🙂
Haha, so many cooties! Thank you Eva!
I love the patriotic theme! And cake mix bases, a la gooey bar style with the egg and stick of butter, love them and so versatile. I would inhale this but it’s fruit so it’s healthy, right 🙂
Exactly! 🙂
This red velvet pizza is calling my name for breakfast! It has fruit, so that counts, right? This looks amazing and so easy to make! Pinned!
I remember have a Pow-Wow and doing Native American tribal dances, but I don’t remember ever having to square dance. There are two types of desserts that I can’t control myself around…the first is Carrot Cake and the second is Red Velvet. This is the perfect way to celebrate Memorial Day or July 4th!
I can’t control myself around those either Erin!
People still square dance? In 4th grade? With BOYS?! That is some crazy talk, Dorothy. And it’s not worth risking your life over! Way to hunch down low. Let that tall guy get all juiced up when lightning hits.
This is a gorgeous Memorial Day cookie pizza! And the 4th will be here soon enough…and time is passing. Sigh.
Right? I just think it’s so funny that things like common core take over but square dancing stays. Ha!!
