Well, hello, Jack Frost, nice of you to stop by.
It’s officially really cold outside, and it officially snowed. We didn’t get much snow, but enough to cover the ground and notice Jack Frost’s obvious presence, and tonight is supposed to be a whopping 0 degrees. What’s the weather like in your part of the world??
Well, here’s a few things we’ve been up to…
Friday night, we used the pizza crust I mentioned the other day to make this baby:
We blended together cannellini beans, some olive oil, lemon juice, a tomato, and fennel as our “sauce”.
The toppings were a sautéed mixture of olive oil, chopped onion, minced garlic, and chard, along with a sliced tomato, and cheese.
I thought it would be fun to caramelize the onions beforehand, because I LOVE the onions on Amy’s veggie pizza so much. All in all, we thought it was pretty tasty!
Saturday, we spent the morning cleaning the house and rearranging our living room a little bit, running errands, and finally settling into the cozy house where it’s warm!
The Christmas music we listened to while cleaning, and the freshness of the house put me in the mood for some Christmas decor. Last year we had a real tree, but in the past year Erik found out he’s very allergic to real trees, among many other things, so bringing one in our house would not be a good idea, ha.
I ordered a small artificial tree off Amazon yesterday, so while our tree won’t be up too long before Christmas, at least we’ll have one : ) I did, however, put up some lights, and stockings to tide us over.
The evening was culminated in watching Miracle on 34th Street by Christmas light. (We rented it off of iTunes and hooked my laptop to the TV, hence the above pictured giant cord ; )
Christmas decor makes me feel all cozy inside! I think it really is the most wonderful time of the year
How has your weekend been??
Um- that pizza looks so good! What a great base. Very creative. Christmas decor!! I am loving seeing how everyone decorates. Weekend has been fabulous. Christmas party Friday, lots of baking Saturday & dinner with my parents. Relaxing today!

0 degrees! Boy I don't miss that! Here it's finally in the 50's & 60's during the day. We have been waiting a long time for this! We did the fake tree this year too. My first one ever!

It's currently -24 F right now..yes 24 degrees BELOW zero. And 24 above zero is even cold..help! We have at least 10" of snow on the ground from the last 3 weeks. it's a winter wonderland here, no doubt!
ReplyDeleteYour pizza looks so tasty! We had Christmas music blasting last weekend as we put up decorations and cleaned the house. It's a great feeling when it's all done.
ReplyDeleteHot damn that pizza looks awesome!!! Something about sliced tomatoes on a pizza gets me every time.
ReplyDeleteI'm in Michigan, we got a storm yesterday and wound up with about 8" of fresh powder. It's currently -15 outside...aka freaking ass cold!
