Pioneer Pizza


Homemade pizza was on the menu tonight and I thought it would be fun to try the Pioneer Woman's favorite pizza dough instead of my usual bread machine recipe for pizza dough. (Ok, truth be told, I have most of my cookbooks in storage right now and realized just a few hours before supper that my bread machine cookbook was one of them! :-)

We really enjoyed the dough and it was actually just as simple to make, if not simpler, than using the bread machine. I only used her recipe for the dough and went with our usual toppings - pepperoni and ham for the boys and green bell pepper for the girls.

Yummy!

What I've Been Up To...


...while making our little temporary house feel like home. :-)

A few simple changes were needed.
For instance, every time I opened the tiny pantry, I felt sad.

Just a little clean, white shelf paper -
and I felt much better! ;-)


Finally getting some meals on the table,
that didn't come out of a sack! Yay!

And I'm learning to cook on a gas stove for the first time and I like it! :-)

Our ~Grandy's Meal~ :-)

Growing up, one of my favorite fast food restaurants was Grandy's. :-) Fried chicken, baked beans, those rolls...yum! We don't have a Grandy's in our town, and actually the last time Mr. H. and I ate at one, it was before we had children and the establishment left a lot to be desired in the way of cleanliness and customer service! But...we still enjoy having "Grandy's" at home!

It is not a homemade meal in any sense of the word ;-)
but it's a super fast, go-to supper that the family loves.
Especially Mr. H. :-)

It starts with some really good fried chicken tenders, "fritter style".
These aren't your usual frozen chicken tenders!

Some good ol' fried okra, pre-breaded.

Instant (gasp!) mashed potatoes and brown gravy. ;-)

Baked beans, Grandy's style, with lots
of brown sugar and cracked pepper.

And those rolls...
Just a little butter and honey added to roll dough
before baking sure does remind us of those Grandy's rolls!

Our ~Grandy's Meal~ a favorite at Heritage Schoolhouse. :-)

Perseverance


"Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock,
perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it.
Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two,
and I know it was not the last blow that did it,
but all that had gone before."
~Jacob A. Riis

"Don't be afraid to give your best
to what seemingly are small jobs.
Every time you conquer one
it makes you that much stronger.
If you do the little jobs well,
the big ones will tend to take care of themselves."
~Dale Carnegie

"If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces,
never be afraid to pick one of those pieces up
and begin again."
~Flavia Weedn

"Don't be discouraged.
It's often the last key in the bunch
that opens the lock."
~Author Unknown

I thought
would be nice for Valentine's Day breakfast
this year.

You can find the recipe here.
They're yummy!

And these were just the right thing to give as a perfect little
Valentine's Day treat for my soccer players. :-)

I hope each of you had a fun day
celebrating with the ones you love! :-)
