Thursday Pizza

A few months ago I saw this post about a homemade breakfast pizza on Smitten Kitchen and knew I had to make it. I am a full believer in breakfast for dinner and one of our favorite things to make at home is pizza, combining two of my favorite things? Easy decision! 

Last year for Mister's birthday I gifted him a pizza stone - best thing ever! It is awesome for homemade pizza, store bought pizza, bread of any kind. We tend to keep the stone in the oven at all times. This is where I got ours, I also recommend the scrubber and pizza peel! 

As I looked over the recipe again last night I decided to make a few changes, first of all, I was not going to make the dough - too lazy! Publix always has fresh bags of dough in the bakery section so all you have to do is pick it up! Secondly, we still had some fresh mushrooms and spinach from the farmers market last weekend that I really wanted to use. 

To start if off - we preheated the oven to 350 with the pizza stone in it and start turning the dough into crust!

We put the crust onto our pizza peel so it will be easy to transfer to the stone 
followed by a layer of cheese and four eggs

Pilled on some sliced up mushrooms and spinach


Finally transfer the pizza onto the stone! We cooked it for about 30 minutes


It was HEAVENLY!!! The egg was so perfect, I could not get enough of it! It's the weekend folks - go make yourself a pizza!!!

discoveries

Last Christmas my wonderful mamma put a pretty dark green nail polish in my stocking. I LOVED it. I get the fabulous OPI, China Glaze and their popularity, but every once in awhile a girl just needs a low cost fabulous color that they can do at home. 

Enter Sally Hansen Insta-Dri fast dry nail color. The brush is amazing, it is flat which makes getting right up to the edge of the nail/skin super easy. I am fairly awful at painting my own nails and due to my complete lack of patience I tend to walk around/type/text and never let them dry properly, this stuff is super quick drying so you have less time to mess it up! It also only takes one coat for awesome coverage, max two coats. 



Best part - they cost less than $5 so you can get lots of fun colors!! 

I just got peachy breeze and am lovin every minute it!

relaxing weekend

I have been a total ball of stress for the past week and a half, and I have never handled stress well. So this weekend I decided to be as stress free as I could be. 

Friday night we went and saw a movie at Universal City Walk and wandered around some shops which is always fun. 

Saturday I read Water for Elephants by the pool and I have to say I loved that book.  With the movie coming out this week I wanted to make sure I had read the book before I saw it and it was fantastic. I am hoping that the movie is half as good as the book because it was truly wonderful. I know I am late in the game, but now I'm onto Eat, Pray, Love.


Sunday we went to the farmers market and I swear I could have eaten absolutely everything I saw.  The fresh fruits and vegetables were all so colorful and wonderful. We ended up leaving with tomatoes, eggplant, spinach, mushrooms, blueberries, strawberries, 4 loaves of fresh bread, home made pasta and Guinness cheese. We decided to take everything over to Seans mom's and cook them dinner after hanging out in the pool. 

Is anyone else loving Kate Spade as much as Stefanie and I are? I cannot get enough of it lately. Everything from the bags to the breathtaking skirts/dresses/bangles/shoes/website. Here are some fantastic things I've been eyeing. I especially love the bangles because they all have cute phrases inside them and do not even get me started on the pineapple earrings!
