Here we are in September!

(Of course, we'll be dressed more modestly:)

For Ali (Kandis)

"Chocolate" shake:
Fill the blender with loosely packed fresh spinach leaves
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup cocoa
1/4 cup honey
one banana
fill half the blender with milk For creamier texture--freeze the banana
for "frosty from Wendy's" texture--add ice

Yay for chocolate!!!

Pizza night!

This is our weekly tradition. (Make the dough healthier by doing half wheat/half white. You can also buy some dough mixes at Walmart...) Add lots of veggies to your own pizza and you're good to go!

Pizza Crust (Kandis): 1 yeast packet, 1 T sugar, 1 1/4 cups warm water, 1 T olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1-2 T of oregano, 3 1/4 cups flour.
Place sugar and yeast in large bowl. Add warm water and let sit for 10 minutes to let yeast bubble. Add oil, salt, oregano and flour and mix until dough forms. Let rise in warm place for 40 minutes to an hour. I divide dough in half to roll out two medium pizzas that fit on cookie sheet. I also roll then into a rectangular shape instead of a circle. Bake at 425 for 18-25 minutes (depending on your oven). (Tip: I also like to brush the crust portion of the pizza with a mixture of olive oil, oregano and a little garlic salt prior to baking--I'm a crust person!).

Trail mix treats (Kandis)
