Monday Miscellaneous + A Winner!

Happy Monday & Happy Halloween!

I have some miscellaneous for you on this Halloween Monday!

{ONE}

This weekend we watched It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

We watch this every October. 

One of my favorite Halloween traditions :)

{TWO}

It rained all day yesterday.

We have been so busy every weekend in October that it was so nice to have a mellow day at home watching football, the World Series & just hanging out & pumpkins.

 And, of course carving pumpkins means pumpkin seeds! Yum!

That is my favorite part of carving pumpkins :)

My pumpkin seed recipe is HERE.

I also got my costume ready....our staff theme for teachers is 80's...here is a sneak peek of my outfit:

I can't wait to show you my full costume :)

Today our court is having it's annual block party for Halloween.
I am bringing my Crock Pot Turkey Meatballs (I need to blog these...so good!)
I am also bringing my Pumpkin Dip:

All you do is mix together:

 1 block of cream cheese (at room temp)

 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1 (15oz) can of pumpkin

1 T cinnamon, & 1 T pumpkin pie spice. 

Blend together. Keep chilled until you serve it. Serve with gingersnaps.

SOOOOO good. I could eat the whole batch.

Here is a before & after  of a fellow consultant's results with the R+F REVERSE Regimen. 

Here is what she has to say:

"I have to be very honest with you--my vitiligo (the white spots on my face) is something I've had since I was 8-years-old and since then, I've done everything I could to cover it up and make sure no one noticed it because I truly did not believe I was beautiful. From heavy make up, to light treatments at the dermatologist, to sleeping in make up when I would go to sleep overs. I lived in bondage to superficial beauty as so many of us do.

My vitiligo is something I've been insecure about my entire life so today is a BIG day!! The REVERSE regimen didn't take my vitiligo away but it evened it out to where you can barely even notice it! I sell these products because I know what it is like to look in the mirror and hate what you see"

In 60 days, it will be New Years....don't you want to spend the holidays confident with your skin?

I can help with that!

Thai Chicken Pizza

As you may know.....pizza is my favorite food. 

I could eat it everyday.

  At Christmas I got THIS pizza maker.

(It is also on sale HERE)

We have been making pizza for dinner a few times a month since we got it! 

I have been experimenting with different pizza toppings/recipes and there have been some REALLY good ones!

Once a month I share a new pizza recipe with you.

You don't need the pizza maker (you can use your oven) but I am letting you know that using this pizza maker gives your pizza an authentic pizzeria taste! 

I am planning on sharing a new pizza recipe every month.

Today's recipe is another one of my favorites....Thai Chicken Pizza!

Here is what you need:

 For the Sauce:
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons Red Wine Vinegar
1 teaspoons ginger
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon chili sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
2 tablespoons water

For the pizza:
1 pizza dough (I use pre-made dough from Safeway or Trader Joes.  I like Safeway's better because it so much easier to work with & tastes better! You can make your own dough, but when the pre-made dough is only $1.50, this is a no brainer!
 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 chicken breast, cooked & cut up into cubes or shredded
4 scallions/green onions, sliced thinly
¹⁄₄ cup white bean sprouts
¹⁄₄ cup shredded carrots
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Directions:
You are going to make your sauce, but before you do that, boil some water to cook your chicken.
This recipe just calls for 1 chicken breast, so you can boil it & then slice it into cubes.

Combine sauce ingredients in a small pan over medium heat.

Stir ingredients together & let simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.

After your sauce & chicken are done, take about 1/2 of the sauce & mix it in with the chopped up chicken:

Now, it's time to roll out your dough.
If using the Pizza maker, I split the dough in half and then roll out your dough on a lightly floured surface & then I put my dough on a piece of parchment paper. 

I cook it on the parchment paper for a few minutes because then I can slide the pizza off the parchment paper without messing up the crust or making all the toppings slide off. I like cooking it without the parchment paper because then it gives the crust a pizzeria taste! If I had a pizza peel, I wouldn't need to have the parchment paper because then I would have the pizza peel to transfer the pizza to and from the pizza cooker...but I don't have one of those yet.

Add the other 1/2 of the sauce to the dough:

 Sprinkle on the cheese: 

Add the chicken:

Add bean sprouts & chopped green onions:

Add shredded carrots:

Sprinkle on more cheese:

Bake in your pizza oven (or regular oven at 450 degrees) for 8-10 minutes 

(I bake mine on parchment paper for 5 minutes & then slide it off the parchment paper & bake it on the pizza stone)

Sprinkle fresh chopped cilantro over pizza:

Slice & Enjoy!

California Pizza Kitchen also has a Thai Chicken Pizza & they put chopped peanuts on top, so you could do that as well if you wanted a little crunch.

I like this pizza because it is different than your traditional pizza.

The sauce really makes it..it is full of flavor!

Yum!

I hope you like this pizza as much as I do!

We are having so much fun making our homemade pizza!
