Project Pinterest: Veggie Patch Pizza Applebee's Style

I haven't been to an Applebee's in ages and had forgotten how I completely am in love with their veggie patch pizza. I don't even know if they have it anymore, but when I used to go there frequently, a veggie patch pizza was what I always got. I saw this recipe on the Peas and Crayons blog, I immediately pinned it and had a smile from ear to ear because I had totally forgotten about my love for these pizzas!

The awesome thing is that it's EASY and FAST!!

Here's what you need:

-small pitas

-one box of creamed spinach (microwaved as per package instructions) or spinach artichoke dip

-baby portobello mushrooms

-mozzarella cheese

-roma tomato (chopped)

Here's what you do:

Preheat the oven to 350. I used a Pampered Chef baking stone and let it heat up with the oven. Meanwhile, I put the creamed spinach in the microwave and sauteed the mushrooms in a pat of butter and seasoned with a tad bit of garlic salt. Then I put the warmed spinach on the pita. Then the mushrooms, some mozzarella cheese and some tomatoes on top. I baked it until the cheese was melted (about six or seven minutes).

They tasted divine! Seriously, this is going to be in my usual repertoire from now on. They were even delicious cold!

Project Pinterest: On My To Do List

Hey ya'll!

This week has been very weird here. I haven't been feeling well so I didn't get around to doing any of the Pinterest things I wanted to do.  I started making this Mexican pizza but then had to quit midway through because it was brought to my attention that it was time to go to football practice. How did I totally forget the time of practice? Yeah, I don't know either. I put all the ingredients in the fridge and will make them tomorrow and share tomorrow.

In the meantime, please link up and I'll check out what you've done!

Here are the rules:

1. Decide which pin on Pinterest you’d like to recreate.

2. Create it!

3. Flop or success, create a blog post about your re-do and include the original pin’s url.

Project Pinterest: Rocks as Angry Birds

We were a little late jumping on the Angry Birds bandwagon, but now we can't get enough of it! I saw this post, went to Brassy Apple and got inspired to help the boys create a set of Angry Birds of their own.

The boys collected rocks to match the sizes and shapes of birds and pigs.

We have so much acrylic paint that we didn't even need to head to the store for any specific colors! We all painted the rocks and let them dry. The hard part was waiting for the paint to dry! After the paint dried I sent the boys out to play and used a Sharpie to draw the features then used a toothpick to paint on the details. The Angry Birds' home is a lovely egg carton.

Do you notice the pollen? We can't escape from it! 

Pin It

After a few days of waiting patiently, the boys set up some old building blocks in the garage and put the pigs in their places. 

After the knockdown with the slingshot, Ryan sets it up again. They boys had such a fun time with this one! 

Can't wait to see what you've done this week for Project Pinterest!

Project Pinterest: Frozen Yogurt Drops

I was so happy to see this blog post from One Good Thing about these tasty little treats so I pinned it right away! They are easy to make and that's enough reason for me to try them out!

I first lined a plate with wax paper and put a sandwich baggie in a glass. I spooned a small container of Activia blueberry yogurt into the baggie and cut off the tip. Then I squeezed little dots of yogurt on the wax paper. Watch out for those little blueberries though! They get stuck and then will basically explode out when they're ready to pop through. That's the reason why they're not all the same size. Then I put them in the freezer for a few hours while I was at the boys' football practice. When we got home I popped them right off the wax paper and into a little ramekin and enjoyed my little 70 calorie snack. These will definitely be in my usual repertoire of snacks!

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

 

Routine

His routine is to stall. Then stall some more. Then stall some more. Then stall some more. Then stall some more. Then stall some more. Then stall some more. Then stall even more.

 

Music

 

Technology

I bought an extremely cheap, yes cheap, not inexpensive which still implies some amount of quality, wide-angle lens. Glad I only spent a tiny amount of money on it because apparently, you get what you pay for! I needed a few extra bucks to fill my Amazon cart to get free shipping and this is what I put in my cart.

 

Show Me Your Style

I like two pairs of shoes. One are flip-flops. The other are these pink water shoes. I don’t like wearing shoes at all, but when I have to, I either wear these or flip-flops.

First Football Practice of Spring

Luckily for me, practice is right by a horse stable and at that golden hour for taking photos!
