Starting 2012

I am starting a 365 project. I want to record a slice of life from as many days as possible.

We started 2012 playing games with Uncle Mike and Aunt Alexis. Avery and the kids watched Aladdin.  A new recipe was consumed -- pizza pop-overs.

Recipe

Pepperoni Pizza Puffs

• 3/4 cup flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 egg 
• 1 1/4 cup Italian Cheese blend
• 4 ounces Pepperoni Mini’s (or regularly-sized pepperoni, chopped)
• 1 cup your favorite marinara
• 2 Tablespoons fresh basil, thyme, or italian parsely, chopped

Grease a mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.  In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, milk, egg, cheese, and pepperoni, stirring until completely mixed.  Spoon batter into the prepared mini-muffin cups. Bake in an oven preheated to 400 degrees for 15-18 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh chopped herbs, and serve with warm marinara for dipping.

MIA

It's been a long time since I posted to my blog -- sorry I just disappeared.  Last October I was diagnosed with mono for the second time and I quickly lost the ability to stay up past 8:30 in the evenings.  Many evenings I could barely stay up that late! Thankfully my doctor was very helpful, and together we established that I suffer from S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder) It took me until February to get my whole system back to normal, and has taken me another 6 months to get caught up on my life.  In those six months I explored lots of crafts and hobbies that didn't require me sitting in front my computer. It's been great fun, and I look forward to sharing with you some of my adventures.
