Dinner at our place. Pizza night.

My sweet husband picked up some pizza dough and I used what we had on hand.  I have to say I was proud of my resourcefulness.  The flavor was delish. 

All you need:
pizza dough- I used Trader Joe's garlic and herb
olive oil- Trader Joe's garlic olive oil (or sauce of your choice)
asparagus
apple
heirloom tomatoes- for flavor and color variety
mozzarella or cheese of your liking

*I think it would be delicious with prosciutto.

directions:
flour pizza stone or baking tray
add olive olive
add thin sliced apples (mine were Fuji)
add asparagus tops
add halved tomatoes
top with mozzarella

bake for allotted time on your pizza dough packaging.

Enjoy!  Easy prep, not too many ingredients, it was simple. 
Just the way I like dinner to be.

What did you have for dinner?


 

Not yo mama's banana pudding.

Our friend Rori surprised us with this delicious treat shortly after our daughter was born.  It is cool, smooth and just the right amount of fluffy with a bit of cookie crumble.  I asked for the recipe so we could enjoy it again.  It is almost sinfully simple to make.

We indulged a little this 4th of July at home.

Here is what you'll need:
1 pkg cream cheese
1 container Cool Whip
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 large box vanilla pudding mix
4 bananas sliced
2 bags Pepperidge Farm Chessmen cookies

 1. Prepare pudding mix as directed on package.
2. In a separate bowl, with electric mixer:
       - whip cream cheese
       - add condensed milk
       - mix in pudding
       - fold in Cool Whip
3. In dish layer as follows:
Cookies
Pudding
Bananas
Pudding
Cookies
Reapeat

Chill & enjoy!
We may or may not have had seconds. wink.

P.S. This treat is not short on calories.  I'm already thinking of ways to slim it down, so we an enjoy it more than once a year.
