Linkup Party Likes #22

 

Hello everyone, how are we all today.  It was Mother’s Day in Australia yesterday and the weather was perfect for me to spend the day outside fixing up the veggie garden.

Poor thing has been neglected by myself and needed alot of TLC.  It was perfect weather for it too.

                

Scrambled eggs on toast for all us for breakfast, yummy Subway Seafood Sensation for Daddy and I for lunch and meatball for the girls, then it was Piri Piri Chicken cooked by Daddy for dinner.  Spoilt!!!!

 

 

With the cold weather coming in I thought I would have a look through all the linkup parties and see if there are any tutes for Winter.  And here is what I found:

1. Projects around the world shares a great little pattern for a Newborn Beanie.
2. And you know how much I love something that has been upcycled, like this Pumpkin Spice Cardigan DIY over at Scout’s Stitches
3. Quilting is something I have still yet to try and its great to see one that has been made for a boy, like this one over at Oxford Impressions
4. This pepperoni roll looks very yummy and perfect for those cold winter lunch times.  You can find the recipe over at Talking Dollars and Cents.
5. I love these sleepy sacks and I used them on all of my kiddies through the winter months.  Here is a great tutorial to make your own over at The pursuit of happiness.
6. Another yummy dish and I so now want a clay pot.  This chicken dish is great for a cold winters Sunday dinner. Thanks for sharing My Turn (for us).
7. I love this fabric and I have this giraffe material in the mustard colour in my fabric stash.  Head on over to Sew easy being green to find out how to make them.
8. And finally, here is a great tutorial for a casserole carrier I found at Love Bugs Lane.

I think it is time for me to go and sit outside in the warm autumn sun and finish a crochet order I have.

Have a great day!!!!

Homemade Pizza

Homemade pizza is the best I reckon especially as you can put on it whatever your hearts desire.  My husband and I like a thin base too so when making your own you make your base as thick or thin as you want too.

A very good friend of mine shared here pizza base with all her friends on Facebooks so after giving it a try, this is the only way we make our pizza bases now.

And here is the recipe:

Tracey's Pizza Base

2 Cups Plain Flour (or pizza/bread flour)

8g Satchel Dry Yeast

1 Tsp Caster Sugar

1/2 Tsp Salt

1/2 Tbsp Olive Oil

3/4 Cup Warm Water

Method

1. Mix all dry ingredients then add oil and water.  Mix to a soft dough.
2. Knead on floured surface till soft and pliable
3. Put back in bowl and cover with cling wrap.  Put in a warm place for 30 mins or till it double's in size.
4. When doubled, punch once to get air out.
5. Remove from bowl and knead gently for 1 minute
6. Roll to desired thickness and size and add sauce and your choice of toppings.
7. Place in oven for 20-30 mins at 200c

I find that as I like a thin base there is enough dough for my two little girl's to make their own pizza.

MMMM guess what we are having for dinner!!!

Enjoy!!!!
