skills and thrills...

...i'll fill you in on a little secret....

...i am not the world's best cook...but i wish that i was...and i'm trying really hard to cook healthier for the fam...urge them to try new things...experience fresh foods...

...and when i read some of my favorite food blogs like seven spoons...dollop...and heart of light to name a few...i am always so envious of the yummy recipes and the fantastic looking food...unlike my shriveled up messes...

...anyway, i decided to start small and buy all of the ingredients for the four of us to create our own pizzas...leaving room for creativity with things like bacon, pineapple and cilantro...

..would you believe my three crazy peeps made themselves plain old pepperoni pizzas?! {sheesh, i love them!}...i told them their pizzas were not worthy of a food shot {hee hee!}...but now that i think of it, that would have been hilarious!...... mine stuck out like a sore thumb!...

...on a tortilla {brushed with olive oil} add pineapple, cilantro, ham and just a touch of feta...

..in the end memories were made...{my almost 14 year old singing at the top of his lungs in his best "italian" as he sprinkled on his cheese}... the pizzas were yummy and we had fun making them together...i hope it will become a weekly thing...and the three peeps have promised to be more adventurous next time...maybe some bbq chicken?

..i'll believe it when i see it!...

...hope you all have a wonderful start to your week today!...

meeting up with katherine...

...i was so glad that i got to meet up with miss katherine, the creative and ever so stylish lady behind making chicken salad and pretty zakka shop ....

...she along with her sweet little man "h" met the hubs, kiddos and i in san fran for some burgers in the ferry building...

...i felt like we had known each other forever and we chatted and carried on for a few hours before we both had to go our separate ways.....but not before she handed me this awesome jar of cookies {you see her holding them above} for our trip....how fantastic is that?!....and there was the leather bow key chain treat too...

...i oogled and googled over her tat...which i found to be so beautiful....and then her boots had me salivating from the get go...{and yes it was that chilly in the city!}

...head on over and get to know this lady if you don't already....she's a complete gem...and i feel so lucky to have such a sweet friend...

have a great weekend!
