Spontaneous Moment #9: Butternut Squash Soup

I love making soup. On a cold day, it's the easiest thing to whip together and warm your heart...and feet.

I've never attempted to puree soup because the thought of having to pull out the blender and cleaning five different dishes just for a nice, warm bowl of soup overwhelmed me. Well, I recently got a hand blender and put it to the test.

The end result was a delicious butternut squash soup. I added pepper and a dollop of sour cream. Nothing has been easier to make while keeping it's taste. I can't wait to make more!

Spontaneous Moment #8: A little bite of heaven

Tonight I had no idea what to make so I just threw together a few ingredients to whip up a quick margarita pizza.

How was it created? Let me tell you...

I brushed olive oil on the pizza dough.
Sliced the tomato and then had them soak in balsamic vinaigrette  in the fridge for 20 minutes.
You can never have enough cheese on your pizza. I spread shredded fat free mozarella cheese on the pizza dough and then tossed some basil on top.
Then I took the tomato slices out of the fridge and placed on top.
I sliced up a ball of mozarella cheese and put them on top of the tomato slices.
The pizza was topped off with a little salt and pepper

The result- a little bite of heaven:
