<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Does this sound familiar? All week, you eat well, watch the sugar intake, work out, your golden. All efforts firing in the right direction. Then Friday hits. Bam! The week is done and you do not want to chop, cook or even think about what is for dinner. The temptation to go out to dinner is strong. You scroll past yummy food posts all over Facebook and Instagram and think, what the heck, let's go out for dinner or order in. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well this Green Pizza has saved us many a weekend. It saves our wallet and our waistline. I'm surely not the first person to make a healthier version pizza. But here is my fast, no measure, no fooling around recipe. If it's not quick, I do not cook it. So here we go...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Secret is to get that crust rising early. You can not start this at 5pm when your hungry. Or chances are strong you will cave and order in the real deal.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Noonish - 3pm</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mix 1 packet fast rise yeast</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 1/2 Warm to wrist water</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1 glug of EVO - 2 Tablespoons</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1/2 t salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mix with fork, add whole wheat flour, until forms dough, about 2.5 cups.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sprinkle flour on top in bowl, Pop smaller bowl underneath with hot water in it to help dough rise.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cover with plastic wrap and dark dish towel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Let rise on counter till ready to bake.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When your ready to bake,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No rolling pin, just spray baking sheet and push out dough with fingers flat. Nothing fancy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is where I pretty much use what I've got. Whatever veggies I have in house. It's a great way to use up what you already have in the fridge. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Drizzle tiny amount evo on crust if you like, I tend to skip this part.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Add, low fat mozzarella, tiny dollops of skim ricotta cheese,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then veg it up- Fresh tomatoes, colored peppers, spinach, broccoli, garlic, anything else you have on hand.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Salt and pepper, garlic salt and top with another dusting of cheese if you like.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bake 400 degrees, about 20 min. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your done! </span><br />

<br />
It's October which can only mean one thing at <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SunbasilgardenSoap?ref=hdr_shop_menu" target="_blank">Sunbasilgarden Soap</a>, it's time for Tales of Mr. Boo the Soap Ghost! If you don't know who Mr. Boo is, well he's a bubbly little fellow made of bubble gum scented glycerin soap. I cut him and all his little clones freehand out of thin layer of soap and he just happens to be one of my all time favorite creations. I love the fact that he is freehand and each guy is just a tad different than the next. He has been in our line up since the beginning and will continue to float through every October.<br />
<br />
Now on with today's tale.<br />
<br />
<b>Mr. Boo visits the Everett. </b><br />
<b>Home of the filming of Dead Poet's Society.</b><br />
<br />
Mr. Boo wants to show off our biggest landmark here in my home hometown of Middletown, DE - <a href="http://everetttheatre.com/now-at-the-everett/" target="_blank">The Everett Theater</a>. So he took a little visit being sure not to get squished by the heavy traffic on Main Street today. (I personally had quite a few lookers while I photographed him being that I was practically laying on the street but anything for my Boo!)<br />
<br />
The Everett is a historic theater still in operation today. It is most known for filming of "Dead Poet's Society" starring the late Robin Williams. The week of Robin's passing we had Tv crews and memorials in his name. The theater currently showcases local plays and still screens movies with <a href="http://thegibby.com/now-at-the-gibby/" target="_blank">The Gibby Arts Center</a> next door.<br />
<br />
That is all of Boo, until we meet again!<br />

<br />
<br />
I love veggie burgers but the price can get a little bit much and we always seem to run out of them. They often are filled with alot of sodium too. So I decided to give it a whirl for myself and came up with this awesome recipe that is not only packed with protein but great on your waistline and budget. You can make them into actual burger patties but for saving time, I opted for a hash and use a whole wheat pita pocket and whalla! (Love Arnolds brand Pita Pockets - 110 calories per half and worth it on taste)<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
1 cup cooked brown rice and quinoa mix<br />
2 cans of black beans<br />
1 cup grated carrots<br />
1 red pepper - chopped<br />
1 sweet onion - chopped<br />
2 cloves of garlic - minced<br />
1/2 chopped fresh jalapeno pepper - minced (optional)<br />
1/2 t red pepper flake<br />
cumin<br />
1/3 cup bread crumbs (optional) but helps them stick together<br />
1/3 cup flour<br />
<br />
salt and pepper<br />
<br />
1. Boil your rice/quinoa mix as recommended, 1 cup mix to 2 cups water.<br />
For time saving, I like to make double the night before and use leftovers for this step.<br />
<br />
2. Chop your veggies fine, peppers, onions, garlic and I buy grated carrots again to save time.<br />
Saute all of these in 1 T of olive oil- season with salt and pepper and 1 Tablespoon Cumin, 1/2 t of red pepper flake and minced jalapeno (You can use up veggies in this step- maybe eggplant or whatever you might have on hand. Pop them in there)<br />
<br />
3. In a fresh bowl, combined cooked veggies, cooked rice/quiona, then add 2 cans of drained black beans. Again for time saving( notice a theme here) Add beans handful at a time and squeeze so you give them a little mash. You don't need to get everyone. Add 1/3 cup bread crumbs. This will help them stick together. Then get your hands messy and hand mash till well combined.<br />
<br />
4. Spray a hot skillet with cooking spray and a dash of olive oil. There is such little fat in this that you just want to make sure they have something to cook in. Take a handful of Black Bean Spicy and toss in flour, then saute. Continue with rest of mixture. Cook for 10 minutes. The flour will help give you a tiny crunch.<br />
<br />
5. Serve inside pita pocket with romaine, cucumber and light ranch if you like.<br />
<br />
Hope you give it a try and enjoy!<br />

I remember the night I decided to make soap. I ordered a 25 lb block of glycerin and a handful of supplies for $50. When it arrived from <a href="http://www.brambleberry.com/" target="_blank">Brambleberry</a>, I thought oh my gosh, we will be using that block the rest of our lives. But the ideas kept coming along with many trials and errors and soon enough my little hobby turned into a real business. We are so very blessed to have found a home with our customers and just wanted to say a giant THANK YOU!!! <br />

I don't know about you fellow mommas, but I'm almost ready to return to structure: homework, field trips, lunch money, where are my socks, "Oh I forgot to tell you Mom, that book report is due tomorrow", "Mom, where is my backpack?, PTA and the like. Well after I spell it out, maybe lazy days of summer are just fine.<br />

Anyways, my dear 9 year old son, has been asking me every morning if he can reorganize my studio space. I mean, every day! My head barely makes it off the pillow. So I finally surrendered last night, and I now have an official new Executive Assistant at Sunbasilgarden Soap. He did all of this himself, his idea and even moved almost every piece. Check it out! I woke up renewed and ready to start the busy wholesale and holiday season ahead. Thanks so much Jack. He is available to lend out. jk.

Not to mention, my checking account and hubbie are both very happy about it too.<br />
<br />
There are so many amazing blogsites out there I'm always raving about. And once you get going, you develop your own little system. Yes, it takes a little time but hello - so worth it.<br />
<br />
Anyways, just had to share this fun Friday night dinner example.<br />
<br />
I literally got everything here for FREE AND MADE $1.00. This is Friday night dinner so ignore the fact there are no whole grains, proteins or veggies. Retail value about $27 bucks.<br />

<li>Papa Johns Large Pizza and Free Diet Pepsi - Free from being a registered Papa Johns customer and coupon code. Something from the Super Bowl...I don't know the details..just it was free and I cashed that code asap.</li>
<li>M&M'S - .25 each with two online printable coupons, purchased at Walgreens</li>
<li>Free popcorn from the bank. I had a stop to cash a check so why not.</li>
<li>2 Free 2 LITERS from Acme- I purchase earlier in the week..they were supposed to be free but rang up wrong so this Momma stopped back in at Customer Service and they gave me my $2.00 back.</li>

MomMom Sunbasilgarden is at it again. She's literally always cooking up something cute. Her latest batch of cuteness comes in the form of I LOVE YOU CORNBREAD. And she sent me pictures of how she did it. She used a toothpick to make each heart. Just as I learned as a kid, it doesn't take much in the way of supplies, just your imagination to make something from the heart. <br />

<br />
Every year we have new changes at the good Ol' United States Postal Service.<br />
<br />
2012 UPDATED SHIPPING POLICIES<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/SunbasilgardenSoap?ref=si_shop" target="_blank">Sunbasilgarden Soap</a> is super proud to continue to offer combined shipping! <br />
And now you can purchase up to 10 ITEMS AT A TIME and still pay that awesome low FLAT RATE.<br />
No postal increases for USA customers. <br />
<br />
Due to International postal increases, there are new prices for International Flat Rate. I only charge the true shipping cost and this number is not inflated for supplies or handling. <br />
<br />
CANADA $13<br />
INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS $17 <br />

Just a cute little observation. Give a kid a countdown to Christmas calendar and don't you know, they don't forget a single day to remove each ornament. First thing, every single morning. But remember to make your bed, brush your teeth, feed the cat, etc...."sorry, I forgot Mom." Kids are the best!Sunbasilgardenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01495945023763654875noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886356384919978961.post-13637859633757289502011-12-11T13:38:00.001-05:002011-12-11T13:40:46.073-05:00Is that a mustache in your soap?I have been wanting to make this soap all season long.

<br />
I had cut each mustache and popped him in a yummy bar of all natural glycerin scented in the Mr. Pepper MD. That is trademark safe for the popular soda beverage. The men on my holiday list are all getting a bar. Hope the guys on your shopping list enjoy the STACHE! <br />
