Frugal Pizza



Sometimes when I have a bunch of  items left over in the fridge I like to turn it into something so nothing is wasted. I am frugal with food and feel terrible to waste it. Knowing other people dont have food in some places make me be grateful for mine. My husband even laughs at my fruit section in the freezer with odds and ends of fruits that were needing to be eaten right then or they would go bad. I freeze it for smoothies.

I had whole wheat bread, cheese and a few small containers in the fridge with extras I did not use in a recipe some spaghetti sauce,  red onion, green bell pepper and mushrooms. Perfect for making little bread pizza for lunch. I made my son's without the veggies and mine with the veggies. The trick is to slightly toast the bread before all the toppings are put on so the bread will be crisp and the cheese wont get burnt from having to cook to long. A perfect frugal lunch with left overs!

T-fal Healthy Summer Challenge Tip #1


 
This summer I am delighted to be one of the bloggers taking part in the T-fal Healthy Summer Challenge. I will be sharing a few tips with you on how I make small but important changes to live a healthier lifestyle.


Tip #1

Summertime means eating lots of ice cream around my house. I am making changes to eat healthier, so I have decided to replace my ice cream with healthy and delicious frozen yogurt.

Besides being good for you, frozen yogurt comes in so many delicious flavors. I love adding fresh fruit or crushed granola to make a super yummy summer dessert that appeals to everyone in my family.



 What sweet treat can you replace with a healthier option for your summertime desserts?






*I wrote this blog post while participating in the T-FFal Healthy Summer Challenge blogging program for a chance to win a T-fal ActiFry or additional cookware.

Happy Father's Day to All the Dads


Happy Father's Day to all the Dads in our family and in yours. We hope you spend the day with the people you love to honor the Dads in your life. We love our Dad and pray he has a speedy recovery from his surgery and we love the men in our lives that are the Dads to our kids. TY to our husbands for being the heroes they are to our kids.


We went to the game store this morning to pick up a game for a game our son wanted. I thought it was sweet for my husband to let our son get a gift instead of him! :)
