Strawberry Balsamic, Chicken, sweet onion and Bacon pizza

In this house we eat the same thing every weekend!!  I don't know if it's habit, or has become that I just don't want to have to argue with my oldest over food, so we have pizza EVERY Saturday, and Spaghetti EVERY Sunday, thankfully I love both.

Anyway, I'm always excited when I find new recipes to try out on these days so that I don't get bored.  I came across this yummy looking recipe and just had to share.  Click on the picture and it will take you to the recipe.

If you have any yummy pizza or pasta recipes, please send them my way!  Have a very yummy Tuesday!

If you are on Google+ or Pinterest, check me out and I'll share the love in return!

My favorite new app

For those of you that have access to apps on your phone or other device.  I found an awesome new app that I'm totally loving!!!!

I've just recently REALLY tried losing weight, I decided enough was enough, and I have Easter and a wedding coming up in April and May, so the weight has to go!

It's called Fast Food

It has several fast food restaurants, and so many items with their calories.

I figured out exactly how many calories,( give or take a couple probably) I was eating at all of my favorite restaurants.  It's not that we go out that often, but what I was eating, was soooooo bad. So now when the hubs or boys want to go out for a treat, I can pull up that restaurant and find what would be the less of the evils.

If you have any really good apps, please share them, we would all love to know!

Have a fabulous Weekend!

Fruit Taco

Don't you hate when you wake up in the morning, go to make breakfast, and you don't have any of your usual breakfast foods?  Not that it happens often in this house, but it did this week.  We had eggs, and sausage, but nobody wanted that.  So I thought I would use the flour tortillas I had to make some tacos.

What you'll need:
Brown Sugar
Cinnamon
Flour Tortillas
Fruit (I used Bananas and Strawberries)
Redi whip

1.  Mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl
2.  Cut the fruit up
3.  Coat a pan with Pam
4.  Fry your tortillas on both sides
5.  Sprinkle the inside of tortilla with the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture
6.  Add fruit
7.  Top with Redi Whip
8.  Enjoy

I'm sure there is a way to make it a little healthier, but it sure is delicious like this!  Enjoy!

Shamrock Wreath

Here is my simple, but adorable Shamrock Wreath.  I would say I made it, but it would be a lie, but my Wonderfully talented Aunt did make it, and it's super easy and not to terribly expensive.  You can get the supplies from Walmart, or even the dollar store.  I love this wreath, it's one of my favorites!

All you need is:
 vine wreath
Shamrock
small yard stake
clover and flowers
bow
wire

Wire everything to the wreath, and hang, easy, right?!

Thanks Aunt Mar for my beautiful wreath!

Happy Friday All!

Simple Shamrock Shake

For all of you that love McDonald's Shamrock shake, and would love to have it more than once a year, here are a couple recipes just for you.

There are two ways to do it, depending on what you like.

Here is my version, it gives it a little different taste, but I love chocolate, so it does't bother me.

What you'll need:
2 cups mint chocolate chip ice cream
1 1/4 cup milk

Blend in blender in until smooth, pour in cup, top with redi whip and enjoy!

Or if you don't think it tastes quite right,

use:
2 cups vanilla ice cream
1 1/4 cups milk
1/4 tsp mint extract
8 drops of green food coloring

Either way, you can it your Shamrock shake at home, year round!
