I have been making my Eco Friendly Sammies for a couple of days now in my free time and these will be hsowing up in my store as I get the pictures made. I have the ever so cute and unfortunately out of print....did I mention Extremely hard to find Heather Ross Vans on Pink and have just 3 Sammies (in varying sizes) available for sale and when they are gone they are gone for good since when you CAN find the fabric it is like crazy expensive for just a little piece. You can shop my Eco Friendly section here and here are a couple pics of the newest Sammies a Heather Ross and a Michael Miller Dick & Jane.

I just love the D&J prints :)
And the heather Ross is just adorable..I hate when a designer quits making a print that people just love because then the price just sky rockets and the normal people (reads Me) can not afford to buy even if I am lucky enough to find :(
I did snag an incredible deal today from the Fabric Mart I LOVE to shop at..you never know what one might find so it is always a treasure hunt. I noticed they are once again carrying a good bit of Toile which I love love love and the designer decorator fabric makes the most beautiful jackets once washed a time or two to remove the sizing and the fabrics are super cheap! Today I did not buy fabric (Heather would kill me if I did) BUT I did buy ribbon...not that I needed ribbon but it was $1 per spool, roll, etc.... and they had great stuff. Now $1 may seem like such a big deal for a spool of ribbon but these were not "normal" "I bought you at Joanne's" ribbon spools! These are 20 yards to 100 yard spools of ribbon!!!! Crazy good deal so I have a bunch of ribbon to store at this point and will be going crazy adding ribbon to every thing for awhile I am sure:) I bought some just plain solid color ribbons and others have polka dots my personal fave.

Well off here for the day and will post tomorrow the winner of the drawing being held at Granny Zann's!

Hugs,
Suzann

I want to share a great recipe with you today- Buffalo Chicken Pizza! Awesome flavor and oh so simple to make. I a providing directions for just 1 pizza however you can double or triple to make additional piza's very easily.

Ingredients:
  1. 1 cup cooked chicken chopped into small pieces or shredded up a bit
  2. 1/4 Crystals Hot Wing Sauce (you can use your favorite brand as well)
  3. 1 teaspoon butter
  4. Bacon 4 stripes
  5. 1 Pilsbury Thin Crust Pizza (in the same section as canned biscuits)
  6. 1 Cup mozzerella Cheese
  7. 1/8-1/4 Cup Blue Cheese or Ranch Dressing (your preference)
Heat 1,2,3 together over med. heat until all of the sauce is soaked up by the chicken - set aside.

Cook Bacon until crispy and crumble - set aside

Pizza Dough
Roll crust onto a pizza stone or a 15x9 cookie sheet stretching a bit to fit. Bake at 400* for 5 minutes and remove from oven.

Topping
Top pre cooked (after the 5 min.) pizza dough with 1/8-1/4 cup blue chees dressing or Ranch dressing if you do not like Blue Cheese (amount will depend on the amount of "sauce" you like on your pizza.)
Add cooked chicken mixture from above
Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzerella cheese over the sauce and chicken
Sprinkle with crumbled bacon

Bake in 400* oven for an additional 9-12 min. Check at 9 and bake until golden and crispy

Cut into squares or wedges and enjoy

This pizza is so yummy you will be making it all the time and is a great use for left over chicken.

That is all for now :)  See you soon

Hugs,
Suzann
