Exorcist Night!

We had an Exorcist inspired dinner tonight. Michael loves split pea soup and I discovered that I love it too! But only if it's totally pureed as if it was spouted out of the mouth of a demon. Yummy!


Now that my mom gave me the greatest hand blender in the whole world making pureed demon vomitus for dinner is easy and so much fun! I love hand blenders!

Homemade Pizza

One of our favorites things to do is make pizza at home. It's not just a meal, it's a crafty adventure! I'm a HUGE fan of JIFFY Mixes. And I love their pizza crust mix. Well, actually I've tried most of the mixes and I love them all.

I've tried other pizza crusts and this is by far the best. All you do is add water and wait 5 minutes for it rise! The fresh dough at Trader Joe's is good too. But for 89 cents you can't beat a box of JIFFY mix.


When we make pizzas with company, we layout a huge spread of different toppings. But for just the two of us, we make a Hawaiian pizza and a pepperoni pizza.


This time I used some dough I had in the freezer for the pepperoni and a fresh batch for the Hawaiian. The frozen dough tasted fine, but it was really flat and not as fresh. So, yeah, you can freeze it, but it's much better fresh.


What a fun homemade treat!
