Teen Beach Moive Party

 Sienna turned four this last month. She knew exactly what she wanted for her party. 

Sienna poses the best in pictures. Sisters are ready for the party.

"Crabs" chicken salad

Yes that is a homemade fire pit. The husband went to the canyon and brought home a ton of rocks to make a pit. I of course wanted to shop and click on Amazon...that didn't happen.

Plans changed when we realized the night before it wasn't going to be dark enough to project the movie outside. So we quickly improvised and made the garage a theater room.

Everyone got snow cones during the movie

Kids were literally diving for cupcakes

Play dough ice cream Sienna picked out

That smile made the day perfect.

Invitations were done by TheIndigoStudio on Etsy. Brenda is great and will make sure your invite is what you want.

Easy BBQ Chicken Sandwiches

Seriously these are SO easy!

And not to mention really good ;)

They're so easy that I didn't even have to take step by step pictures this time.

We're having soup tonight (recipe to come soon) but even though I've been excited about it all day, I suddenly want one of these ;)

Ingredients:

• 4-5 cooked and chopped chicken tenders
• BBQ Sauce (I like sweet baby ray's)
• Tomato
• Onion
• Avocado
• Cheddar Cheese
•  Hamburger Buns

Directions

1. Cook Chicken in a skillet. Once it's done add about 1/2 cup BBQ sauce. A little more or less depending how much you like BBQ.
2. Put bottom bun on baking sheet and layer chicken, onion, tomato, avocado, then cheese.
3. Put top bun on baking sheet but not on top of the sandwich.
4. Stick under the broiler until cheese is melted and top bun is golden brown.
5. Serve with corn on the cob (or anything else) and you're good to go!

ps I always add a little more sauce after it has been in the oven

Enjoy! :)

All my love,

BBQ Bacon & Pineapple Pizza Recipe

For a long time I never cared to make my own pizza and would just throw a frozen one in the oven and be done, but ever since I've started making my own I haven't bought ONE frozen pizza since! It's so much tastier homemade. 

My pizza has evolved over the past several months. I got the idea from The Country Cook to do a BBQ bacon type of pizza, but I changed a lot of ingredients and wanted to at least make it a little bit more healthy and more tangy with the pineapple. 

This one here is by far the best I've ever made it! 

Jensen gets so excited when I make this. You can't go wrong when it's got bacon in it :-)

Ingredients:

1 tube of refrigerated pizza dough (or make you own dough!)

1/2-1 cup of BBQ sauce

1/2 pound of bacon, cooked and crumbled

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 green bell pepper, chopped

1 1/2-2 cups spinach (Sorry, I don't really measure, I just know that I put a good amount on there!)

1 8oz. can of pineapple chunks 

garlic powder

Directions:

Preheat oven. If using the your refrigerated pizza dough, follow the directions on the back of the tube. I used the Pillsbury classic dough and I have a pizza stone so I preheated my oven to 425. 

Spray your pan or pizza stone with non-stick cooking spray. Spread out the dough and make sure it's all at an even thickness. Spread the BBQ sauce on. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese, then the bacon, pineapple, bell peppers, spinach, then the last 1/2 cup of cheese in that order. Lightly dust the garlic powder all over. 

Bake according to the package (basically until the crust is golden brown and cheese is melted) My gas oven is lightning fast so I actually only bake it for about 9 minutes. Enjoy!!

Stay Classy,
