Friday Night... Pizza Night!!!

Call me crazy but I like to keep things simple when it comes to my food menu. It may be boring that we have pizza every Friday night, but my kids love it... And who doesn't love pizza on a Friday night.

I wanted to share my favorite and easiest pizza recipe. It really is so simple and my kids love to help make it.

Pizza Dough
1 Tbsp of Yeast
1 cup warm water.
(mix well till yeast has dissolved and let sit for 5 minutes)
2-3 cups of flour
1Tbsp of vegetable oil
1Tbsp of honey
(add veg oil first than honey. It will help the honey not stick to the tablespoon)

Gradually add floor to your dough. You want your dough to not be sticky. Let rise for 15 minutes. Depending on where you live you may need to adjust the time.

Roll out dough onto pizza pan or parchment paper. If cooking with parchment paper I would recommend using a pizza stone. Bake pizza for 4 minutes at 450 degrees. (this may need to be adjusted as well depending on where you live)

Take pizza out and add the toppings of your liking. Put pizza back in for 4 more minutes.

And Done!!! So easy right!!! My kids love the recipe and we usually don't have many slices lift after...

How To Alter Cups On A Swimsuit

I recently purchased a swimsuit from Walmart for $13 dollars. Yep that's right $13 buck for a super cute suit is unheard of.

I got my suit and loved it but once I tried it on I notice the cups were a little big for my small chest.... I didn't want to return it because it was so cute and cheap.  I had this idea pop into my head of how to alter it. I did some research online and nothing come up on a how to alter the cups on your swimsuit. That is if the cup size was too big. So here is my solution to fixing my suit.



First I found old strapless bra that I had laying around.  I decided to place it inside my swimming suit to see if it would match up and fit. (of course it would since it was smaller, haha)



I then cut of the side straps so I wouldn't have an extra strap to clip when getting in my swimsuit. I got a needle and thread and carefully stitched the bra to the inside of my suit. I double checked each of my stitches to make sure I wasn't poking through on my suit.



And presto it was done in 10 minutes.  So now I have a suit that fits me in the chest!!! Plus I can always take out the bra or readjust it if I need to.




If you have a old suit that you love lying around and need to do the same I hope this post helps!!!
