Mini Pizzas



Hey there! So, have you ever had one of those weeks (months) when you can't seem to cross anything off the list? Nothing is going right for me lately. Projects are failing left and right (or never getting off the ground) and I'm distracted by the mundane yet necessary. Snow days aren't helping. I'd love nothing more than to take the day off whenever my kids are home so we could frolic and revel in our unexpected freedom together; but, it seems I'm not built that way. At least not at this stage in our lives. But then again, wouldn't it be just the way God works for me to take that time, assuage my guilt over lists without checkmarks with cupcakes and snowmen instead, and then feel better for it afterwards? At least in the motherhood column? Hmmmm. Maybe I'll get another chance tomorrow.

There was one thing that turned out for me today: these mini lunchbox pizzas! Anything mini is worth trying, right? If nothing else, for the cuteness factor. But these were tasty, easy AND cute, making them blog-worthy in my book.



Mini Pizzas
3 flour tortillas
1/2 c. to 3/4 c. pizza sauce
12 slices pepperoni
1/2 c. shredded mozzarella
1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning

Spray a muffin tin with non-stick spray. Set aside.
Using an empty tin can, cut 4 circles out of each tortilla. If the can won't cut completely through the tortilla, just use kitchen shears to finish the job.
Place each tortilla round snugly in the bottom of a muffin cup. The sides will curve up slightly.
Place a scant tablespoon of pizza sauce (depending on how saucy you like your pizza) in each cup.
Place one slice pepperoni on top of the pizza sauce.
Sprinkle with cheese. Place the Italian seasoning in your palm and put a pinch of it on top of the cheese.
Bake at 425 for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly.

These mini pizzas are the perfect recipe for kids to make themselves. Give them an apron and let them get to work! They'll be so proud.

Lazy Susan Coffee Station

Hey, hello, how are ya? I finished up a couple of projects in our never-ending kitchen reno this weekend and boy, does it feel good to check stuff off the list. First off, I finally got around to organizing our coffee supplies in one corner of our counter by upcycling an old lazy susan. I made a coffee station on top of the lazy susan and put it next to our Keurig so everything would be nice and handy. Oh, and I used an old mug tree I bought for a buck at a sidewalk sale, too. All I did to make it look cohesive is spray paint both the lazy susan and the mug tree with white spray paint, then I decoupaged a piece of decorative paper the same color as our turquoise coffee mugs to the top of the lazy susan using Mod Podge. I added my cow creamer and a sugar packet holder for tea bags and voila! I love that I can spin the lazy susan to access mugs hanging on the back of the mug tree.

Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups

Did you know Halloween is the third most popular holiday in America, topped only by Thanksgiving and Christmas? If you have kids, this probably comes as no surprise. Children anticipate Halloween almost as wildly as Christmas morning, mostly because of the candy, but also because of the fun class parties and costume parades that happen each year at school. I often volunteer for our kids' class parties because it's so fun to see all of the cuties in their costumes. Here's a Halloween class treat idea for you: Pumpkin Patch Pudding Cups Steps Tear the foil lids off of the pudding cups and line them up on a rimmed cookie sheet or tray to make them easier to carry. Sprinkle chocolate cookie crumbs (you can use finely-crushed Oreos if you can't find the boxed kind) on top of the pudding. Put four waffle-style pretzels around the perimeter of each pudding cup to look like a fence. Put a candy-corn pumpkin in the center of each "pumpkin patch." Remember to brin...
