Bacon Onion Pizza
I had a friend over for lunch today and made this. I found it on Smitten Kitchen and it is so yummy. You should try it. Today. Why not, it is Friday.
Bacon Onion Pizza
Serves 4 for a light dinner with a salad; can be divided to 8 appetizer portions or 16 tiny party portions
1/2 pound pizza dough
Olive oil, for oiling baking sheets
1/2 cup fromage blanc or ricotta
1/2 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 pound thickly sliced smoky bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
Preheat oven to 450°F. In a medium skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until the fat is rendered and the bacon crisps up. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Add onion to skillet and cook until softened and beginning to caramelize, an amount of time I forgot to write down but would estimate at 7 to 10 minutes.
Whisk together (or blend together in a food processor, if you want it silky-smooth) fromage blanc and crème fraîche with flour, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Roll each piece out to a rough 8-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. If the dough becomes difficult to roll, let it rest for 10 minutes, then continue.
Oil two large baking sheets. Transfer two dough rounds to each. Spread the fromage blanc mixture over the rounds to within 1/4 inch of the edge. Sprinkle with the bacon and onion. Bake on the bottom shelf of the oven for about 12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Cut into wedges and serve.

All about Tiny
Maybe too many girls in the house?
Just lounging around. He is the only one who would cuddle with me and I love it.
Usually that pencil would have been in the outlet, I took it out so
no one would think I was a bad mom.

Boxes, boxes, boxes
I think my kids would be just fine if all we had were boxes. Come to think about it, I never really remember why these boxes are here in the first place.

Children's Museum
We went to the Children's Museum before Christmas with some friends and a great time was had by all. I loved the big slide they have there. It is pretty fast, and I felt better after my friend said she was a bit nervous also. But we all made it down in one piece.

Reading goal
Last year I had a goal to read 52 fiction books, and I made it. So I figured if I could read that many fiction books, I should be able to do 12 church books since when I look at the list I don't think I finished any of those last year. So I am starting with the Book of Mormon and I am reading it on a 40 day reading plan. With my calculating I should be able to read more than 12, but for now we will see what happens. I have some of them picked out, but if you have any favorites let me know.
