naan

I love making pizza in the oven using naan.  You can find naan at almost any grocery store.  I like to get the naan at Target.

 

bbq chicken naan pizza

1 package naan

sweet baby ray's bbq sauce

red onion

bacon

chicken

pineapple

mozzarella

 

Take the naan out and put it on a cookie sheet.

Preheat oven to 350F.

 

 

Spread some sweet baby ray's bbq on it.

Put some red onions on the top.

Cover your pizza with toppings (cheese, bacon, pineapple, chicken).

For my chicken, I put some frozen breasts in the oven and cook them.  I chop them up and mix them in some bbq sauce.

Put the pizza in the oven for around 10-15 minutes or until the pizza is hot.

 

 

YUM!

This is such an easy weeknight meal.  Great to make for family dinners too!

Loving my new shoes!  I picked them up at Dillard's (on sale) for $49.  You can also buy them here.  I got the black pair too.  I couldn't help myself. I can't wait to wear them this Fall!

 I tried these on too (they were full price).  I thought they were a little too wild for me, but I'm dying for someone to get them.  I felt like Michael Jackson, and I loved it!



nan's zucchini bread

I thought this would be the perfect time to share my Mom's zucchini bread recipe.  I feel like we have had tons of zucchini lately, and I needed to use it.  Her zucchini bread is, by far, my favorite.  I still love the banana bread too.  They are both my Nana's recipes. 

Nan's Zucchini Bread

3 eggs (beat slightly)

1 cup oil

2 cups sugar

2 cups flour (can be sifted, but I didn't)

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

3 tsp vanilla

2 cups zucchini grated (2 medium-sized zucchinis)

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking powder

1 cup nuts chopped (pecans or walnuts)

preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.

mix eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla. 

add dry ingredients.

(flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder)

add the chopped pecans.

add grated zucchini last.

grease and flour pan.

bake for 1 hour.

I grate my zucchini with a cheese grater.  It will be soggy!

ready for the oven

perfect!

We were going out of town for the weekend, so I decided to freeze half of it.



Now go use those zucchinis and make some bread!

We definitely have Olympic fever at our house!  It's on all day and night.  I love everything about it...including the apparel.  Go USA!

blazing

I'm obsessed with blazers, and I have been dying for an ivory one.  So when Bloomingdales had their sale a few weeks ago I picked up this one...

It's back at full price now ($98), but I think I purchased it for $63.  I can't wait to wear it, but it has been way too hot (even at night). 

This is another great option from Topshop...

I love the fact that you can wear white blazers with anything.  Wear it with a dress, skirt, shorts, or pants.  The Kardashians are always sporting white blazers.  Kim dresses it up here...

beating the heat

It has been so hot lately and I have not wanted to be in the kitchen.  I was looking for a dessert to make that was easy the other night and I remembered a recipe my Mom used to make when we were growing up.  It's easy, cool, and delicious.

The Blizzard Pie

cappuccino heath blizzard pie

oreo pie crust

cool whip (I used lite)

2 medium blizzards from DQ (I used cappuccino heath blizzard)

Pour blizzards in the oreo pie crust and spread evenly.  Spread the cool whip on the blizzard.  Refrigerate over night.  Sometimes I can't wait that long, but it will set up perfectly if you refrigerate it for 8+ hours. 

How easy is that?

Mix and match with other DQ blizzards and graham cracker crust!  You can't go wrong with this dessert.
