Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pizza!

I decided to get into the kitchen and whip up something sweet... this was the end result, turned out pretty yummy!


Ingredients:


  • Sugar cookie dough (you can use store bought or the super easy recipe always use
  • Cream cheese (1 block, softened to room temperature)
  • 1/4 c. sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • Fresh Strawberries
  • 1/2 c. Semi sweet chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Press cookie dough into a standard size cookie sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
2. Once the cookie has baked and is cooling, cream together cream cheese, sugar and vanilla with a mixer. 
3. When the cookie is completely cool spread cream cheese mixture on the cookie covering the whole surface. Top with strawberries.
4. Melt chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave. Drizzle over strawberries and allow to cool.
5. Enjoy your creation and thank Nikki for the party happening in your mouth!

Ladies Night Out!

This past Saturday we had a very special ladies night out to remember a very special lady who is no longer with us. Gina, Kristine, Julee, Anna (and her Little's), Traci and I all met up for dinner to honor a beautiful lady that meant so much to us all, Shannon. For those just tuning in Shannon was my amazing doctor who passed away suddenly back in March. Since her passing I have come to meet so many great new friends! Some were patients, some were her family and some were her close friends. It has been so nice having these ladies to lean on during such a difficult loss. Friendship through tragedy...

Gina, Julee, Anna, Lyla, Landon, Kristine, myself and Traci

This was such a fun night of making new memories I can't wait to meet up every month and I look forward to our little group growing!

Roxy Got Her Ears Pierced!


Last weekend while we were in Tucson spreading some Gold Canyon love, 
Roxy got her ears pierced! They look so pretty and don't seem to bother her at all. 
Let the jewelry addiction begin!
