Spring Is Near ,Homemade Pizza and Grateful Quiet Time

I put my cushions on my patio chairs after we had a string of temperatures above our normal temps. of course I became Spring feverish! I know you did too. I even heard a motorcycle in the background and knew the warmth of Spring was near! I really did enjoy this cup of tea outside and it was 70 degrees, But the great Midwest and Mother nature has other ideas. While all the while my little bulbs are starting to burst all over.
Spring Flowers! When the flowers begin filling in, it's just a gorgeous show. This winter however, we have found diggings, bulbs pulled out and mulch strewn about! We have found we have many furry friends like the voracious vole,the sneaky squirrels, and the big bellied bunnies who all have had a meal or two in our fine outdoor restaurant. Anyway, this Fall I have to replant the majority of my Tulips, the Tulips must be the preferred feast.
So now that it's back in the 20's and the 30's, I've ditched the outdoor grill for making and baking inside once again. So I made these pizzas, they turned out great. My youngest son ate one entire one himself! Ah...to have that metabolism! Anyway here's a couple of pictures I took, I'm looking forward to getting more creative in the near future. For this post I did use all fresh ingredients including the bulk sausage, but I did not have a keto crust; can you say Cauliflower anyone? I also follow a girl on Instagram that made a chicken crust! It looks delicious, although difficult to make, I'd love to try that next.
Yumm....onion,green peppers,and sausage it was to die for.
This one is my son's favorite sausage and pepperoni! Gone in an instant, and he was asking if there was another one. Home made or at least 3/4 home made it is the way to go. So my new favorite salad dressing is this. ****Ingredients**** 1/4 C olive oil 2 tbsp red Wine Vinegar 1 tbsp lemon juice A bit of Kosher Salt A bit of cracked pepper *I'll do a post on this including the salad itself in the near future, this is so good and it tastes and feels like Spring/Summer. I'm certain you'll love it too. Finally, with all that is going on in the world today, we have to try to make ourselves happy too. I spend a great deal of time being grateful. I love sitting quietly and going over in my mind all of the things I have and I am grateful for it. It helps to relax me too. I have to slow down and sit quietly for at least 15 minutes and I feel this regenerates me. BE STILL Let me know if you do this or something like this.

Dimethicone: Chemical Gets A Bad Rap

Image
What is dimethicone? Why does it get such a bad rap?  It is primarily because it is a commonly used product and an additive, and secondarily it is a man-made silicone polymer and it’s always listed alongside things like phthalates and triclosan. It is a chemical. Dimethicone is in a lot of cosmetics and in products given to you by a certified dermatologist and even in items for babies. Chemistry Photo credit: Pinterest Dimethicone is normally only used topically and found in the cream type form. Dimethicone works because it forms a barrier for and against moisture by doing one of two things, trapping it on the skin or trapping it away from the skin. It fills pores and smooths the look of the skin may fill in wrinkles and fine lines on the face, and it also provides an emollient that will sooth skin to fight the effects of sunburn and diaper rash.

Deadliest Record-Breaking Cold Weather Is Dangerous

Photo Credit: Medicentres.com Today's post is in response to the dangerous cold and record-breaking weather that is upon approximately 110 million people! I am currently one of those people in the path of this polar vortex weather, and I am not happy. Midwesterners are tough, rugged and live through a lot of weather extremes, however, what is predicted to come for the next two days is just dangerous. A little less than half of the North American continent has an extreme weather forecast right now and in the next week or so. My area tomorrow is predicted to be in the -50 (negative temps) to possible -60's !. The sub-zero temps are here already, but tonight and tomorrow will be excruciating! A meteorologist at the Weather Prediction Center is passing along information right now telling the American public the exposed skin in that kind of extreme will take only a matter of seconds to frostbite and cause hypothermia. According to the Mayo Clinic   (see  their defini

Magnolias In My Kitchen Very Simple Flower Centerpiece

Image
It's a very cold January day and not one glimpse of the sun is to be had. The ground is covered in snow and now there's even freezing drizzle/rain to add into making this a long winter's day. There's only one thing you can do is to bring warmth in, by way of flowers. I have these two magnolia stems sitting right near me, One has three blooms on it and one has two. They feel bright and remind me of summer. Those warm days where the car windows are down and the Grateful Dead are playing Sugar Magnolia on the radio. And the only thing you can do is wave your arms out to feel the breeze while you're singing the song! A lovely flower centerpiece will liven, brighten and warm my room. So I gathered a  few things: the two magnolia stems Some dried green moss, that I use often, it truly makes me think of spring and summer with its very vibrant green and even brown sticks!  2 very large bell-shaped dimpled glass containers, graduated in size the large
