Tomato pie recipe

My good friend Mindy made me a tomato pie a few months ago ... It was delicious.

This inspired me to make one yesterday.

There are many ways to make a tomato pie. You always have to start with a pre baked pie crust.

Chop up half an onion and put

It on the bottom of the pie. Add sliced tomatoes or cut up tomatoes...

Sprinkle basil (fresh if you have it)

Use three cheeses- Parmesan, mozzerella and sharp cheddar - mix w some real mayo- add a layer of it on top- bake at 375 for 25-30 min.

Yum!

Relaxing day

I didn't work today. Which was really nice. I spent the day relaxing (as much as one can with a one year old) I got caught up on some magazines.

The husband brought home Chinese (what I was craving) and after dinner drew me a bath and lit some candles so I could relax some more.

I am really trying to enjoy this last bit of my pregnancy. I am so ready for Cora. I can't wait to meet her!

Here is a pic of Emma and Ava earlier:)

Ava was brushing Emma's hair :)

REDKEN Frizz Dismiss Product Review

Redken Frizz Dismiss Review

The great thing about being in my line of work is companies love giving out free product for you to try... Hoping you will love it.. Buy it... Use it and sell it!

I got these free samples recently and thought I'd review them tonight.

I have to say I really really like them. I don't have a lot of frizz (straight fine hair here) but it did make my hair soft and healthy looking. I also loved the scent. It's not over powering. Definitely would recommend this to clients or anyone who battles frizz.

Mission: organization planner style

I think I am going through nesting... I have all the signs- buying 25346 cleaning products.. Keeping my house spotless.. And now it has overflown into a new type of organization-

Home organization binders..

Working on my filing system that i implanted years ago

Monthly budget planners

Spreadsheets

Personal planners...

It's insane. I reaaaaaally want this "life" planner.

It is broken down into months, weeks, days, hours. Also lists personal goals etc. I love to get organized. The catch? It's $75! Probably totally worth it to most people but I can't get myself to purchase it. I'm going to look around and see if I can find/make one cheaper.

Dollar Genral has a monthly bill organizer/ budget planner that is AWESONE for $2! Yes, $2! Haha I've used it in the past and loved it.

I mentioned it to the husband and today he went and got it... Totally in tune to my MIssion: Organization theme I have going on today.

The great thing about it is that it has envelopes to keep bills, receipts, anything you might want to keep track of for the month. I highly recommend getting one if you don't have one!

Steak fries with aioli

A great way to jazz up frozen fries is to make an aioli with it!

Here's a cheap version:

1/2 c Real mayo

1/2 Parmesan cheese

2 tbsp lemon juice

3 tbsp minced garlic

3 tbsp parsley

Obviously fresh ingredients is best! (Cheese, lemon, garlic & parsley)

I didn't plan ahead on making this- just through the idea together- trying to jazz up the fries.. But they still tasted great. We paired this up with our Dr. pepper bbq pulled pork sandwiches. Perfect food for our Walking Dead Sunday... :)
