FOODIE Friday French Bread Pizza'a

I realize this isn't a "I re-invented the wheel" post BUT when talkin to my girl Merleen the other day she told me how she made these french bread pizzas for her fam and I was like "what a BRILLIANT idea" LOL!! Sometimes you forget how basic can be FAB!! 

I started with a loaf of french bread (I bought mine the day before when I was at the grocery store and I cut it then while it was fresh so it wouldn't be all crumbly the next day...I simply sliced it in half). Grabbed some pasta sauce (what I had on hand) mozzarella and pepperoni...

I spread a thin layer of sauce on my halved breads....

Topped with shredded mozzarella....

Added some pepperoni (that I cut into heart shapes - because I love my lil family)

Popped it in the oven and baked on 385 until the cheese melted (once the cheese was melted I turned the broiler on high for a couple of minutes to brown the cheese)

TA-DA!! Here is your finished product! SUPER quick and easy and the topping options are ENDLESS!!

TRY It Thursday

While shopping at TJ Maxx one day I saw these candles....

Can we say L O V E?!?!?!

 I think they were 20+ dollars a piece and I KNEW I could do something similar for less!! Here's my version....



I started out with candles from the "thrift shop" (Ya know before Macklemore made it cool). One was like .59 and the other was an older one I had that the wick some how burnt all the way out of

The crucifixes are from Michael's jewelry section and I picked them up on clearance with the intent of added them to candles!!

I simply removed the loop with a pair of jewelry pliers....

I used e600 to glue them onto the candles...I allowed them to ute for an hour before standing upright...

While they looked fab, to me they lacked a lil somethin somethin....

I added tacks above and below the crucifixes...

and TA-DA!!!
