3 months, Eternity to go!!

So I've been slacking on this whole blogging thing!! I was doing so good for a long while!!! Today marks Matt and I's 3 month anniversary! We went out to delicious Indian Oven. So much amazing food! I love the Chicken Coconut Karma!!!! If you've never tried it you better stop in!!! I thought to celebrate our 3 months together I'd state just a few things I love about being married....if I don't stop myself I could go on for ages so here's a few
  • Always having your best friend around.
  • Having someone to cheer you up no matter what.
  • Being so extremely comfortable with each other that sometimes I am just amazed!
  • Thinking about the future and having a family with Matt being the perfect daddy ever.
  • Going to the temple with my love
  • Still being in awe that my husband is that dang sexy and sweet.
  • Being cheesy and not even caring.
  • Figuring out how to be a housewife(even though I don't really have the cleaning part down yet)
  • Snuggling every single night and waking up to a kiss and a hug.
  • Laughing nonstop!
  • Sharing everything(even the full size bed which is a bit tough sharing sometimes)
  • Knowing that I will be with my love for eternity.
  • Loving with all of my heart
  • Nothing is better!!!
I love being married! I don't know why people say that the first year is the hardest. It is a time that you have to be totally selfless and let a person completely into your world there is nothing that can compare to the love you receive daily from your spouse and the ability to care and love someone to no end! Matt is my world and he always will be and I am so grateful for him and all that he does for me. I am grateful for the gospel and the blessing of eternal family! I am the happiest ever and I don't see that ever ending!

Pardon the interruption of the 30-day challenge but I found this delicious and delightfully easy dinner that anyone would like!

Super Stuffed French Bread Pizza Rustica

Ingredients
  • 1 (2 foot long) loaf French bread
  • 1 pound sweet Italian sausage
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 large cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 package frozen chopped spinach defrosted and squeezed dry
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups part skim ricotta
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 pound sweet sopressata, from the deli, sliced thick, chopped
  • 1/2 stick pepperoni, chopped
  • 1 sack (10 ounces) shredded mozzarella
  • 1 sack (10 ounces) shredded provolone
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Split bread lengthwise and hollow it out. Cut in half across, making 4 shells for pizzas.

Heat a skillet over medium high flame and brown sausage in extra-virgin olive oil. Brown and crumble sausage. Add red bell pepper, onion and garlic. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, add spinach. Remove mixture from heat and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, to your taste.

Transfer to a bowl. Combine sausage and veggies with ricotta, Parmesan, sopressata and pepperoni. Fill bread shells and top with mounded mozzarella and provolone cheeses. Place in hot oven on cookie sheet and bake until cheese melts and bubbles and bread is super crisp, about 10 to 12 minutes. Top pizzas with oregano and hot pepper flakes. Serve immediately, or snack all night!

Okay so of course I made a few changes to my liking. This household likes spicy food so instead of the sweet Italian sausage I used hot Italian sausage(which was tasty). I skipped out on the spinach not because I don't like it, just because it sounded kinda weird in my pizza. Also, I love green peppers so I used one small red bell pepper and one small green pepper. I skipped on the red pepper flakes since I already had spicy sausage. Oh and I spread a small layer of marinara sauce I had in the fridge on the bread shells before putting the filling in!!! Try this recipe you won't regret it!

Day 13 and 14

Day 13 – Your favorite musician and why?

Well its so hard to just pinpoint one artist that is your favorite! I really have never been able too!! Music is just so wonderful and I love a wide variety of genres! So I will just name a few that I love. These are the CD's you put in your car and they stay in for weeks/months and you don't get tired of them!!

Adele(I may have a slight woman crush on her! I love her voice!)
Matt introduced me to this band and I love this CD!
Got to love old school!!!!
Oh this soundtrack is the best thing ever...to listen to, sing to and dance around to
I don't listen to a lot of country but you can't go wrong with this man! Day 14- A show you are addicted to?


Okay this is a recent addiction and I ask myself why everytime I watch it! It is so disturbing to watch all of these killers but at the same time intriguing and
I end up watching it till the end every time! I just don't know why?? It is so good though! On a lighter note I can not get enough of this show and its hilarious cast....
