Working on my side entry way and a stuffed pizza recipe

I have been working on my front door since I read and was convicted Ezekiel 44:5 which tells us to "mark well the entrance of the house." I was reminded to make the entrance to my home attractive and so planted some happy pansies, phlox, and geraniums to meet us and others at the door. Love my basket with our names on it

So then I started looking over at my side door and decided I need to do that one too. So I've started but not done I'll show you a little easy craft I did.


Start with a sign and ribbon of your choice...I picked green.


String through and make bow..tada..simple and cute, well I think cute, and of course hang.



I bought the sign and ribbon at Joann's fabric in the clearance.

Now the stuffed pizza recipe.

Stuffed Sausage and Cheese Pizza


or sometimes I replace the ricotta with provolone cheese....yummy

After doing yard work...Strawberry Ice Tea is in order.


I was craving some iced tea and I'll be honest I love sweet tea, but with this pregnancy just not wanting that sweetness. I made this instead and way yummier.

Ingredients
2 cups of fresh strawberries
1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice
5 cups unsweetened brewed ice tea, chilled
1/3 of a cup of raw honey
Additional strawberries for garnish (sliced)


Place strawberries and lemon juice in blender and puree. Pour puree into a 2 quart pitcher (I used a old milk bottle) and add the tea and honey ( add more honey if not swwet enouth to your liking); stir until honey dissolved. Chill. Float slices of strawberries in pitcher.

Sit back on a rocking chair on your back deck, sip and relax.
