Yes, I am guest blogger today over at a Brooklyn Limestone and I couldn’t be more honored that Stefanie asked me to do it.

Most of you who read my blog have already seen the guest bedroom but that is what I submitted to her and that is what she posted.

Head over to Stefanie’s beautiful blog and see all her guest bloggers. You might just a find a new blog or two to follow.

No GTKY this week since I am over at A Brooklyn Limestone today.

Hope y’all stop by for a visit and leave a comment.

Thanks,

Melanie

Happy Birthday….

To my mom.

Today she turns 39! Again, for about the 30th time:-)

She has a great sense of humor and loves to laugh.

(these photos were from 2 yrs. ago)

She has a great big heart and would do anything for anybody.

She loves her family. Besides us, she has 5 sisters and they are very close. They love to get together and sing, laugh, and talk.

She loves coffee.

She loves sweets.

She loves The Dollar Store.

But most of all she loves the Lord.

Happy Birthday Mom.

Hope your day is great!

Love,

Melanie

Pioneer Woman’s Tomato & Pesto Pizza

Tuesday, July 6, 2010

This week I asked Denise if we could change our recipe from sugar cookies to pizza because I knew that I would not be able to resist eating them. I made this pizza while I was in Georgia so I actually didn’t have to make anything this week.

Pizza 2 copyWhile I enjoyed the fresh ingredients on the pizza, I did not enjoy the crust.

Pizza 4 copyThe crust had no flavor and was a little bit dry and crumbly.

Pizza 6 copyVerdict: I would not make this again. I follow Smitten Kitchen and she has a wonderful dough recipe. It has honey and white wine in it and I haven’t found another crust recipe that is as good as that one. Caden and Gary love that crust the best. It took me a few times to get the hang of it but I kept at it and finally got it down.

I would definitely suggest checking out Smitten Kitchen and trying some of her recipes and if you are in the mood for homemade pizza, try her crust.

You won’t regret it:)
