My Favorite Recipe!

Sheesh, it has been a while since I've written, but today as I was making pizza, I decided that I was going to post my pizza crust recipe. I took this from a recipe I got off a website, but changed it to be my own.

Ingredients:
3 Cups of Flour
2/3 Cup of Sugar
1 yeast packet (or 3 tsp. yeast)
1 tsp. salt
1 Cup milk
1/2 cup water

Mix all dry ingredients together.


Heat milk and water in microwave, until scolded.
Mix milk and water into dry ingredients.
Add more flour, until the dough is no longer sticky.


Set dough aside.
Cover with a tee-towel.


Let stand for twenty minutes.



Prepare two round pans, or two rectangular pans by spraying them with cooking spray.
After 20 minutes, take the dough out of the large mixing bowl.


Split the dough into two equal sections.



Roll dough out with rolling pin.

Put sauce on pizza. We are Ragu fans! :P


Cheese....


And any other ingredients you might want! :P We enjoy pepperoni.


Cook pizza at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
Finished product:



And most importantly, enjoy your pizza!!!!

I have a lot of different bands on my iPod, my sister makes fun of me for it. I can go from Michael Buble to Thousand Foot Krutch in just one song. :)

Day 24: Something You've Learned

I think over the course of our lives - my almost 17 years - we learn a lot of different things. I believe that I learn something new every day, and that I can't write them all into a short blog post.

  1. I've learned that 11th grade is a lot harder than 10th grade and takes a lot more time and energy. (Which would make sense, but I wasn't really thinking about that.)
  2. I've learned that I really do like Spring, Summer, and Fall better than Winter. Yes people, I know that it's only fall, but it is so chilly here this week, it feels like winter in the morning and I just don't like it. At all.
  3. I've learned that preparing for a trip to CO since September is hard! I am ready to go, go, go!!!! Only 3 days left.
I've learned that that doesn't seem like very many things, but I'm running out of ideas! Ha.

Day 23: Favorite Vacation

I think EVERYONE is going to know what I'm going to post for this one. I don't even know why I'm posting this one! Ha.

If you don't know what my favorite vacation place is, you probably don't know much about me. Either, you haven't read my blog, or you're not my friend on facebook! LOL

I absolutely, positively LOVEEEEEEEEE Florida! Not just any place in Florida, but Disney World! It's my favorite place in the whole world! I love to go there, ride all the rides and meet all the characters. Yes, people, I am a little kid at heart. SO what? ;)

~
I also like Williamsburg, VA, but last time we were there, it was really, really hot. We were almost miserable. But it was still fun - but we liked to get inside the buildings - that, by the way were air conditioned, in Colonial Williamsburg, people - and get into the cool.

~
But really, I just like to go on vacations. I like to go places, and get out of our little town in Pennsylvania. :) I leave for CO in 4 days!!!!!!!! YAY. Okay, I am very excited.
