Playing a little catch-up!

My appologies for my ever so slow posting of "my attempted pins". It's naptime right now and with each stroke of the key I'm holding my breath that Reid doesn't wake up and I can at least get this post done. So here goes....

What is it about pizza? Between pizza/Italian and Mexican food we rarely (or at least that's what it feels like) have any variety in our menu planning. But there are no complaints from the table so who am I to complain?

I posted a little bit ago about the Grilled Pizza Cheese sandwiches. My next pizza inspired pin was this PEPPERONI ROLLS and I even took pictures to document. Am I showing you them because they actually turned out looking good? Maybe, but who cares?!

They were really easy to make and were a hit all around the dinner table. Even great as leftovers and warmed up the next afternoon for lunch.













You're impressed aren't ya? :)

Josh's only request was not to use Buttermilk biscuits next time. Okay no problem but when did he become such the biscuit connoisseur? Just kidding! No problem!




**Tips**

For our family of 4 (although Addi and Reid could sometimes be combined and only count as 1 when preparing food) one roll of biscuits would have been enough. But I didn't want to be short on any and like I said, they warmed up just fine.
Enjoy!



Yesterday Addi had her softball swim party at the local pool. It had been a little over a month since they had all seen eachother so Addi was really excited to hang out, swim and eat some cake. While Daddy was busy "working" in the basement and The BossMan was sleeping we decided to make a little softball treat to take with us. How easy are Rice Krispie Treats? VERY! So that's what we did and added a little flair to them. Sometimes when I see something on Pinterest I think "why didn't I think of that?" I mean a lot of them are so easy and take little thinking to come up with. But I'll give credit due to this neat pin

Softball Treats!

Addi had fun helping and then to match her teams colors (The Heartbreakers) we used blue frosting!



They were a hit with the girls!
*Tips*

the instructions call to use parchment (I used wax, maybe it's the same thing, I don't know lol) about the size of your hand to press out onto cookie sheet. I just sprayed my spatula and it worked easier. And I just used one of the kids' plastic cups without paper underneath to cut out my circles. Super easy. The icing I bought came out to thick to make lines so I squeezed it all into a plastic bag and snipped the end.
We hit this one out of the park! Soooo easy!



So I've pinned and pinned about some food. How about a drink? I made this GROWN UP PINK LEMONADE a while back and it was a huge hit! I made sure to put a note on the pitcher that it was NOT FOR KIDS and now anytime Addi sees pink lemonade she asks if it's for grown ups only! 
Great beverage for a girls night or even at the pool! 

Well, can you believe it? Reid is still asleep and I'm done-for now.  Stay tuned and I'll have some craft pins I'll post.  Till then, keep pinning and keep blogging!
