Pizza Dip Marksville Style


I know others have posted pizza dip recipes, and I looked up a bunch till I found out more about how to prepare and then did it up Marksville style. Some use crock pots, microwaves, stove top, or even ovens. I chose oven.


Ingredients:
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 cup Parmesan cheese, divided
1 cup pizza sauce
2 ounces sliced Hormel pepperoni

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Spread the cream cheese over the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Top with  ½ cup of the shredded mozzarella and ½ cup of the Parmesan cheese.
3. Spread the pizza sauce on top of the cheeses, and then top with the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella cheese and ½ cup of Parmesan cheese.
4. Top with pepperoni slices.
5. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Serve with toasted baguette slices.

You can always add olives, green peppers, ham, pineapple or anything else you might like on your pizza on top. Use your imagination. All I can say is that my family gobbled this up and have been asking for me to make it again.

My new favorite fan



Having a fan in our home is a must since we all pretty much need it to sleep. As in if the power goes out we all wake up because the fan stops blowing. It is something I have had since a child as well as my husband. It really is amazing that we found each other and also need some of the same constants in our lives. With having 6 children they also need this fan thing going to sleep, apparently they were passed the "needing a fan blowing on them while they are sleeping gene". Yeah us.

Most of my readers know we are currently homeless since my husband's disability took so long to come in. We hope to be on our feet by spring. God willing. It is just a matter of finding a place in our budget.So when we became homeless one of the first things that were packed were our fans. One we gave away at the first motel we were placed in because someone did not have air conditioning so we let them have it, leaving us with one to share. Since we are in one room we just had it oscillating to hit everyone.

Once we moved to the new motel we continued to use it but from the moving it broke down so we went a few months without one which meant very little restful sleep for my children or myself. I have tried other Ozeri products in the past loving them but when asked to review this fan I jumped on it for the mere fact of saving the precious little money we are given, only caring about having a fan of some sort again. 

What I didn't know is that everyone would fall in love with this fan. It came to me in a box within another box. I opened up both with the second being the Ozeri fan box. I then opened it set out all of the pieces. There really aren't that many so don't worry about that. I was taken back at first because I didn't have a screw driver but found that a trusty butter knife more then did the job. 

This can be put together with the extra height of the pillar or left without for a shorter fan. We put our pillar in. What I love is that this comes with a remote no more getting up and down to get the fan to blow just right. It also came with batteries an extra plus when you want to use a product right away.

This Ozeri fan has a build it area on top where you can store the remote when not in use. It also has the controls inside of this area for those times when you miss place the said remote (Yes this happens quite a bit). The Ozeri 42 inch fan oscillates a full 180 degrees which covers a bit area of space, covering both the queen and full size beds that are in our motel room. This makes everyone happy as can be sleeping purposes. You can also change the speed settings and mode with the remote or built in controls on the fan for a more personalized wind quality. 

Our family gives the Ozeri Ultra 42 inch Wind Fan a thumbs up for ease of putting together and usefulness.

The Ozeri Ultra 42 inch Wind Fan - Adjustable Oscillating Tower Fan with Noise Reduction Technology can be found on Amazon.

#ILoveBread

Check out this funny Bread song. I love it! So catchy. My daughter loves to sing and dance to it. Matter of fact I am thinking of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich would be great to eat now.

To Save Time Let's Just Assume Pamela Is Always Right



I confess I am not always right but I would like to think I am right more then I am wrong. This cup is perfect for me. I love it. This cup is both microwave and dishwasher safe which means it it durable at least until I fumble it full of cocoa or tea someday. I love that the cup is printed on both sides so it doesn't matter if you are a right handed or a south paw. 

I think this is a perfect personalized gift that might fit someone in your life such as a boss. I would fill this with candy or office supplies and wrap it in cellophane. Easy cute and personalized. 

What was the best part about this item was how it was shipped. Very safe and secure. The first time I have received an item packaged this way.

If you are interested you can order this cup on 5family here
