Happy Sunday!

 

It’s Easter!  Happy Easter to all who celebrate that.  Happy Sunday to those who don’t.  We are doing the same old, same old today.  Nothing special planned.  No special food.  My mother and I both eat exactly what we love everyday and that is what we will do today too.  She wants chicken, a baked potato and veggies.  I want only beef. Then of couuse, she has lots of treats coming her way.  I have not put her Easter Basket outside her door yet. The Easter bunny arrives late at this house. lol

Yesterday, I was a busy girl!  First, I whipped up a Darlene’s Concoction that was a big hit with my mother and my sister.  I didn’t have any.  All the leftover bars are in the freezer for my mother. I’m sure that will last her awhile!

After that, I planned on starting a new Upcycled Fashions, but I was just too beat and didn’t want to screw stuff up.  So I made another block for the Quilt Block Party and I was worried that I would screw that up too, but it came out great!

Today I plan on working on my Upcycled Fashions and hope to start and complete it today for uploading tonight. Fingers crossed that I can get that done!  I’m anxious to see what I make! lol

Have a great Sunday!

Darlene
XOXO

4-Ingredient Pizza Bake Recipe
a General Mills Recipe

Sign up for Pillsbury’s FREE emails to receive up to $250 in yearly coupons, access to free product samples (quantities limited, one per member) and the easiest RECIPES sent right to your inbox!!!

INGREDIENTS:

check for ingredient coupons here
2 pouches (7.5 oz each) Bisquick Complete buttermilk biscuit mix
1 cup water
1 jar (14 oz) pizza sauce
1 package (8 oz) sliced pepperoni
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 oz)


DIRECTIONS:

Step 1:  Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 13×9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix and water until soft dough forms. Drop half of dough by spoonfuls evenly in bottom of baking dish (dough will not completely cover bottom of dish).

2 Step 2:  Drizzle about 1 cup pizza sauce over dough. Arrange 1/2 of the pepperoni slices evenly over sauce. Top with 1 cup of the cheese. Repeat layers with remaining dough, pizza sauce, pepperoni and cheese.

Step 3:  Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into squares to serve.

Darlene’s Tips:  You can add any of your favorite pizza toppings. It does not have to be pepperoni.  You could also use pizza cheese blend instead of just mozzarella.  And you might want to sprinkle some oregano or italial seasoning on top along with some parmesan cheese. Experiment!

Saturday Chat – Fan Mail Friday, Mother’s Easter Basket, Weaving Shit, Plans for Today

Happy Saturday!

The sun is shining and I think I’m okay with that.  It’s supposed to rain either tonight or tomorrow so I will just look forward to that.  I can deal with the sun until then! lol

Today I hope to start a new Upcycled Fashions!  I have not done one yet this week so I must get busy so I can knock it off my schedule.  I also want to make my Darlene’s Concoction for my mother.  And my sister might pop over later so that will be another mouth I can feed that stuff too.  And I’ll ask her to take some home.  I’ll be making pineapple coconut bars.  Stay tuned!

And if I have time, I’d like to also knock out another block for the Quilt Block Party.  But that might have to wait until Sunday.  I think that will be something good to do on Easter.

As for yesterday, I uploaded three videos!  I started out with Fan Mail Friday, then I moved on to making My Mother’s Easter Basket.  Last but not least (and the most fun) I ended with Can I Weave this Shit where I tried weaving using polypropylene twine.

Now I am cooking some chicken for my mother.  I eat chicken too, but lately I’m all about the beef.  The other meats are just not as tempting.  Most who eat zero carb for a long time all say that they usually end up just with beef. And beef really has all we need for good health.  So yay beef!

Have a great Saturday!

Darlene
XOXO
