Strawberry Pizza Pie

Yesterday I took the time to make a new dessert for Jamie to take to a potluck lunch at work.  I will be making it again for us at home.  I found the recipe on one of my favourite food blogs Mommy Kitchen.

 

I think it turned out pretty good and nothing came home so his co-workers must have enjoyed it.

Of course I couldn’t follow the recipe exactly because what fun would that  be.  Actually it was because I left it to the last minute and couldn’t find any Sugar Cookie dough in the premade section.  So I substituted it with Milk Chocolate chip cookie dough and I also used Smuckers Jam instead of Strawberry Gel.

This got me to thinking that until my 3rd child was born I would not have made this using a mix.  Now I find myself often reaching for pre-made or mixes instead of starting from scratch.

But my new motto is if it tastes good and and saves time why not.

This morning I pulled out one of my WIP that I started about 4 months ago.  I want to get this one finished by Christmas.

I'm working on page 7 of 14.

Melissa’s Bracelet

Melissa was so happy in June when i took the time 10 minutes to make her a stretchy bracelet, she wore it for days until she broke it trying it on the dog

Haircuts and that

I took my girls for new haircuts this week.  Megan had a major knot in her long hair that just would not come out no matter how much de-tangler and conditioner we used.  She loves her new style and i think it will be easier for her.

Blogging and Pinning

 

I have notice that in the last year things have started to change again in on-line networks.  They are becoming more visual.  I have stared to use the Pinterest site and using it to get ideas for things to make and do.

For the most part I like the site but have found that it can be a bad site to visit without a really good anti-virus program running on your computer.

The other day I found a swap on Swap-Bot that combines Blogging and pinning.  Should be fun to see how it goes.

I have found several different things on Pinterest I mostly use it for craft ideas and recipes.  Please check it out.
