She's simple and straightforward~you know exactly where you stand with her. If she sounds like you, you two will get along swimmingly!

Pizza Night!

We love pizza! But long gone are the days when we had the regular income that allowed us the privilege of going out to eat twice a week like clockwork, and ordering up a couple of pizzas when the mood struck. We can still enjoy pizza that is as delicious as any pizzeria has to offer though, AND at a fraction of the cost since finding a pizza dough recipe that we think rivals any pizza restaurant's. Add a little of my simple pizza sauce (recipe below) and a few favorite toppings (all bought on sale or grown in the garden, of course!) and dinner is served!

The pizza dough recipe I use is this one. Although it is technically a "no knead" recipe, I find whipping up the dough is even faster, and appeals much more to the lazy housewife in me, when I dump the handful of ingredients into the processor bowl of my Ninja and whir it 'til it all satisfyingly comes together in a ball, but...I have done it both ways. The dough does take some time to do it's doughy thing {aka rising}, so plan your pizza party a day in advance (better yet, just keep some dough made up and keep it in the fridge for those impromptu pizza cravings!)!

what's this?!

it's a pizza dough baby! peek-a-boo!

mama's gonna tuck you in for a nap so you can grow big and strong. night-night little one. shhh!

Mamaw's Simple Pizza Sauce

2 cups canned crushed tomatoes  (can use tomato sauce)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 

1/4-1/2 teaspoon dried basil

salt and pepper to taste (optional)

Combine all ingredients. Spread a thin layer on pizza dough before adding toppings. 

*Want to make less sauce? Simply half the recipe, but...keep in mind, any remaining sauce can be frozen and be used for your next pizza party!

Mangia!

Does your family have a regular pizza night? What are your favorite toppings? And if anyone has a tried and true "white pizza" topping/sauce (the garlicky-er😉 the better), please share, as that's my mine and my daughter's favorite. 

Thanks for stopping by! ~TJ

It's a New Decade! Hello 2020!

🎆🎉🎉🎉2020🎉🎉🎉🎆

The entry of a new decade had me reminiscing back to Y2k and all the panic that was happening surrounding the decade to come. January 1, 2000 dawned, and the world remained intact. Do you remember Y2k? Hindsight is 2020 as they say!

I have long ago abandoned making resolutions for the new year. In its stead, I  began beginning each new day with goals and aspirations for the 24 hours set before me. Yes, I do make longer term goals, and resolve to meet them within a set time frame, but not "new year's resolutions".

How about you? Do you make New Year resolutions? Care to share what some, or all, of them are?

Another new year trend I have noticed going around is, a "word" for the upcoming year. I haven't really joined in on that bandwagon either, I do good to remember the next word in a sentence I am speaking, let alone try to remember  a word I need to focus on for the next 365 days ahead, lol!

I don't begrudge folks that keep these traditions, I  have my own and wouldn't want to be judged for not following what is trendy. I have always marched to the beat of my own drum, and am a live and let live sort of person. I enjoy, and find fascinating, the variety people that keep this world interesting.

I hope and pray that you all have a wonderful, healthy, prosperous new DECADE!

Welcome 2020!

Thanks for stopping by!~TJ
