Happy Holidays

Hey guys! Hope everyone’s been getting into the Christmas spirit. I haven’t quite gotten back into the swing of things since November. I have, however, been coming up with some new recipes that I thought I’d take a minute to share.
The other day Josh and I were out to dinner and saw a flatbread pizza on the menu that looked easy enough to make- so I did. These little semi-homemade pizzas took only about 30 minutes to make and they were pretty darn good! Easy to make after a long day of work or easy little party appetizers. Here’s what you need.

2 TBL Olive Oil                                   2 cloves minced garlic
1 LB Chicken breast                           TBL Parsley
Salt                                                   Butter
Pepper                                              Pre-made pizza crust
Onion powder                                     Alfredo sauce of choice (I like Newman’s Own)
Shredded parmesan cheese

Heat the oil up in a skillet. While the oil is heating shake salt, pepper, and onion powder onto you chicken breasts to taste. I shake until I can see the seasonings. After the chicken has browned up, cut into one inch long strips and throw back into the skillet with minced garlic and parsley. Spread butter onto your pre-made pizza crusts (I hate homemade pizza crust) and broil until the butter bubbles. Spread 2 tablespoons of alfredo sauce onto the pizza crusts then layer with chicken and shredded cheese. Cook for 9 minutes at 450 and enjoy!

As for the 30 day photo challenge? I’m stuck on week 4! I might get a chance to get it done this weekend, but between Josh’s company’s holiday party, a cookie decorating class, and the making of 6 dozen cookies for my coworkers (3 types! will share after) I’m not sure it will get done. I did get 3 photos done that I needed to catch up on. I give you days 17-19 (long exposure, technology, shoes). Not really impressed with the shoe picture may need to re-do if I ever get some time.

Next week we’re off to NY, NY. I'm sooooo sooooo excited, but I am going to miss my family badly! I’ve got two other recipes to share and hopefully I’ll be back before Christmas, but if not Merry Christmas!

The Velveteen Rabbit

We’re at week 32! Only 8 more weeks to go. Yesterday we had our final baby shower and it was just adorable. My in-laws threw us a Velveteen Rabbit themed shower. Take a look at these pictures my sister-in-law took of all the sweet decorations. Isn’t it just adorable? I was so sad to tear down the diaper cake, but that wreath is going to go on his nursery door I’m sure. Eli is so lucky to have a crafty grandmother. Not only did she decorate the shower, but she also made him a ton of personalized burp cloths, onesies, pants, blankets, and bibs. Aren’t they soooo cute? I’m thinking about changing his going home outfit to be his little lion onesie she made him with his name embroidered on it. We’ll have to see! Oh and that bear backpack! Isn’t it precious? I can’t wait to pack it up for him to go out to his Mimi’s. He’ll just love it.                     Now for his week 32 check in… Weight Gain:   29 lbs in 32 weeks. Crazy! I did gain 5 of those lbs wh

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

I’m so depressed! The Halloween party we were planning was cancelled (yea-that means we cancelled it). I LOVE love love Halloween, but I’m okay with a low-key night since many of our friends are going to be out of town the weekend we had planned to throw the party. Last year Josh and I spent time handing out candy to neighbor kids and watching the shining. Of course I decorated like crazy, but this year I think I’ll probably keep the decorating outdoors and use the food to celebrate the occasion. Here’s what I had planned food-wise for the Halloween Party. For (eh-hem, real food) snacks.         Trick or Treat Turnovers                                                       Pizza Mummies For crunching and munching on                   Scarecrow Crunch For dessert       Candy Corn Rice Krispies                        Monster Mash Pudding                  Pretzel and Brownie Skeletons I’ll probably let Josh pick out what I make for the occasion since all of it looks SO good

Ready Set, Have You Met...

In the event you don't know, the end of that lyric is "Robocar Poli" which has been playing often in this house lately. Anias and Eli both love it, and with the spiders, ticks, rain, and overall grouchiness of a sleep deprived almost 2 year old I'm just going to roll with it. Josh and I have been busy trying to fix up the house, but unlike those before and after seemingly instant photos it's taking over a month to just finish what we've already started, but we're getting closer! We're taking a long weekend together without the kids this week up in Chicago and I'm excited! It will be nice to explore a new place and see one of my favorite all-time bands: Beach House. Anias: 23 Months I say new words like ...Poli (requesting the show Robocar Poli), mowing, kick it, mint, bike, night night, eat it, cereal, battery, sheep, chick, here you go Mama My favorite food is ...macaroni, but I also like hamburgers and won't hardly have a m
