More nutella: strawberry, blueberry, and nutella pizza

I was trying to use up some pizza shells that I had but wasn't in the mood to heat up my kitchen by turning the oven on so I resorted to a fruit pizza.  My kids loved it, I was surprised they even tried it they never eat new things EVER! >.< but they ate the whole thing so I was happy!








Ingredients:
Whole wheat pizza shell, fruit of your choice - I only had strawberries and blueberries, and of course the best part NUTELLA!

Strawberry and Nutella French Toast

Yesterday we had an amazing time at our bible study cook out.  We had pizza mountain pies and for dessert we have strawberry and nutella mountain pies (my idea).  

Today I made french toast for lunch and decided it would go amazing with the left over strawberries and nutella I had.  Well it was amazing I enjoyed it.  I layered french toast, nutella, and strawberries.

kids say the darndest

My daughter just recently started going number 2 on the potty and by potty I mean an actual plastic potty chair.  Today at my moms without saying a word she used the toilet for the first time (for number 2) We were all sitting outside and she runs outside and tells me she pooped.  I was shocked because there isn't a potty at my moms house so I was slightly worried.  I go inside to check it out and sure enough she actually went on the toilet! With that story in mind.....


Julie tells me it is a poopy fish in the toilet, no idea where she got that from we never talked about fish being in the toilet but she called her poop a poopy fish.

The baby shower gift


 While I was making a diaper cake for my friends baby shower  I decided to cover it with cloth diapers to make it look neat and "clean" since Luvs diapers aren't exactly diaper cake worthy.  While doing so I thought of ANOTHER idea to do with the many many cloth diapers I had.  I decided to have a tissue paper free gift bag.  I used cloth diapers (burp cloths), they stick out of the bag just like tissue paper, who knew right?! THEN guess what...  I decided to dye them!  I made them different shades of VERY light pink.  I will warn you in the pictures it is hard to tell since some shades are super light and the flash is bright. SIGH! -.-  Also I used egg dye because that sadly was all I had that would actually stain the fabric because apparently the food coloring I have doesn't stain.  >.<

You can just barely see the different shades the lightest is on top and gets slightly darker at the bottom

Sushi rolls peanut butter style!

Getting my kids to eat is sometimes a hassle, so I decided to make things somewhat fun and time consuming on my end.  I often make my son peanut butter sushi rolls, I am allowed he is Asian ;) When I am not making sushi rolls I am making some other sort of time consuming shape.  Today though I am posting how to make peanut butter sushi rolls, mostly for my sister because my poor nephew tells me all the time that my sister messes it up! 

Okay lets get started!  

You will need:

  • bread (wraps will work too and you will be able to ignore half of this) 
  • peanut butter
  • knife/butter knife
  • rolling pin (my husband flattens it with his hands but it isn't the same)
1. roll out bread

2. cut off crust
















 Roll out the bread first and then cut the crusts off so the edges will be "pretty" 


You have to put a VERY thin layer of
peanut butter or it will be hard to 
roll.  I actually put too much on it 
this time.


3. spread thin layer of peanut butter
The fun part is rolling them up.  My daughter prefers me to stop here, she calls them "map" from Dora the Explorer.  
4. Roll!
















Finally you get to cut them into little sushi rolls!  


5. cut sushi rolls



There is my happy son eating his sushi!
