Great tip!

We love them (and so does J).

cake pops

one year the nieghbors gave us something like these cakepops for christmas as they were AMAZING

i saw this recipe at little miss momma

these would be great for little treats at a party. try them. i promise you'll love 'em! the sticks are optional, they're fun to just pop in your mouth like truffles

the main jist is bake a cake, let the cake cool, crumble it into pieces and add frosting to the crumbled cake, roll it into lots of little balls, dip in melted chocolate and vwala! they're dangerously yummy and super sweet so be careful. go the post for exact details!


(i feel like all i post is desserts...it's so bad. i say crazy cammy needs to do some dinner posts)

salad pizza

 

Have you ever had a real salad pizza?

There's this place in Mesa, AZ called Sauce, it's one of my favorites and I always get the chicken caesar salad pizza.

So amazing.

Found this recipe for one like it at this site

For the pizza sauce: In a medium saucepan over low heat, saute 1-2 garlic cloves in a lot of olive oil. Add 1 small onion (chopped), salt, pepper, a few shakes of red pepper flakes, and turn up heat slightly. Stir until onions have softened, about 3 minutes. Add 1 15-ounce can tomato puree (or sauce or diced tomatoes), a half dozen shakes of oregano. Stir and simmer on low heat while you prepare the rest of the meal. If you have basil, definitely add a few shreds at this point.

For the salad: In a medium bowl, toss shredded lettuce (any kind you like, this was red and green oak lettuce), a healthy handful of chopped cherry or grape tomatoes, a few slivers of red onion, a lot of shredded Parm. Then add your red wine vinegar and olive oil to taste, like you’re at a pizzeria. Toss.

For the pizza: Preheat oven to 450°F. Place store-bought pizza dough (or homemade if you are lucky enough to have it available) in the center of a lightly oiled square cookie sheet. Using your fingers, stretch it out to the sides of the pan as much as possible. Store-bought doughs are usually very springy so don’t get frustrated. The goal is to get the crust as thin as possible. Using a ladle or a large spoon, distribute a few dollops of pizza sauce on dough. Add sliced fresh mozzarella to the kids half of the pizza, keeping the other half relatively cheese-free. (We cheated a little here.) Bake for 10 to 15 minutes (start checking after 10) until cheese is bubbling and crust is golden and crispy. Remove from oven, let cool slightly and top the cheese-less side with salad.

The place we go to in Mesa makes the crust super thin and crunchy which makes it way yummier :)

more stripes

but in the bathroom!

HOw awesome is this?! A bathroom redo where the walls and shower curtain blend perfectly with each other!! I think this is so cute!!! That posts helps you learn how to do it as well!!!

I found k.f.d. designs a few weeks ago and it's one of my new favorites! She's so creative when it comes to home/room redo's! i want to be her!

future reference

I think we're both crossing our fingers and tosies hoping we never have to have one of those dead animal heads with some kind of antler hanging on our walls...

BUT...

if we just so happen to give in one day and have to endure such a horrific trial...

let's remember to hang christmas lights on them all year long :)

paint the walls!

I love this idea of these stripes on the wall. not just white and another color but 3 soft colors!

I also like that it's blues for a little boy's room. cute but boyish and playful!

found on design sponge

Better than just socks

Have you seen this look around the block? I personally love it. I think of it like a little bit of fun coming out of them boots!

 Here's an idea of creating some make-shift ones of your own! I'm thinking take the arm of an old cute sweater and playing with it to make a spot for your heel! Cute of what!?

(Here's where I got the idea and pics)

Baby

I want to make these so bad! i think they are adorable beyond adorable!

find instructions here

(you could most definitely make this a less expensive project by buying cheap towels at IKEA/Walmart and a cture cheap fabric!)

Christmas giving

I read this idea over at BLOOM today

"My sister has five children. Christmas with five children can get crazy real fast, so she uses this little rhyme to guide her gift giving:

Something to wear, something to read, something you want, and something you need"

how cute is that!?
