Foodie Friday: Individual Buffalo Chicken Pizzas

I told you that I had an idea for the remaining crust that I didn't use. This past weekend I made good on the idea for buffalo chicken pizza. M and I had this one time from Sams and boy was it good. Since I had some left over blue cheese, blue cheese dressing, and hot sauce, I thought that I would give it a go.

I started with the leftover dough I had from my basic dough recipe. I had already rolled the two remaining portions into crusts and had them waiting in the fridge.

1. Put the pizza stone in the oven while it is preheating to 425.

2. Cook one large chicken breast, dice it, and coat it with melted butter (about 1/2 T) and hot sauce (about 3 T).

3. Spread blue cheese dressing on the crust as your sauce.

4. Top with chicken.

5. Sprinkle on some blue cheese crumbles. (Sprinkle to taste. I put a few too many on for M's taste, but it was good for mine. He mentioned something about mold. Blah, blah, blah.)

6. Top with shredded mozzarella.

7. Once oven is up to temp., transfer to pizza stone. (I made a real mess when I did this. I probably should have asked M for some help. At least it all landed on the pizza stone and not the oven itself.)

8. Bake for around 15 minutes.

I know that this pizza has no redeeming health qualities about it. (I take that back, it is on a whole wheat crust.) But it is very good. So enjoy in moderation and you will live to tell about it.

Save Us Spring!!

This is what we woke up to this morning:

With a little of this mixed in:

In case you were wondering, this is what it felt like:

I don't know how much more of this I can take. I think that it is time to kick the old geezer, Winter, off his throne and replace him with Lovely Lady Spring. Are you with me?

The Bigger I Get . . .

the more useful I find this belly to be.

Being that two complete strangers have commented on me pregnant lately while I am wearing my maternity winter coat, I would say that I am growing and showing more and more everyday.

I have found that I can use by belly as a crumb catcher, a tray, a shelf, a table, and an excuse for being tired or just plain taking it easy. Ahh, this is the good life!

A Puzzle for You

What do the above photos, three trips to Menards, one trip to Lowes, and a borrowed pick-up truck mean that we started on this weekend?

The craft nook!!! Which in some way means that we started on the nursery. Which also means that it is getting closer!

Welcome to the Family

M and I have graduated from our first living room lighting which we both purchased shortly after moving out on our own, to real lamps! It is a very exciting day for the Bowl of Cherrys household.

This little guy is from Kohls. I think that it was supposed to be somewhere around $40, but you never pay full price at Kohls. (And if you have been, you have been paying too much.) In the end I think that we got it for under $20.

I found its big brother at IKEA. Now at IKEA you ussually have to pay full price, but the price is ussually also right. (Sorry I can't give you a full head to foot shot. He is tucked between the wall and the sofa. Maybe he is shy.)

Now when we want more ambient lighting, we just turn these two warm beacons on and we are set.

(Don't worry, the old lights have a new home in our lower level. Which I am so, so excited about these days!! I can't wait for us to make more progress so we can show you.)
