Pepperoni Pizza Puffs adapted from Everyday with Rachael Ray

3/4 cup flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
pinch of salt (my addition, optional)
pinch of red pepper flakes (my addition, optional)
3/4 cup whole milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup cubed pepperoni
1/2 cup store-bought pizza sauce

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 24-cup mini-muffin pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, salt and red pepper flakes (if using) ; whisk in the milk and egg. Stir in the mozzarella, Parmesan and pepperoni; let stand for 10 minutes.

2. Stir the batter and divide among the mini-muffin cups. Bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, microwave the pizza sauce until warmed through. Serve the puffs with the pizza sauce for dipping.

Right Now

Right now:
  • I am teaching myself to knit, and am about 1/8 finished with a striped scarf
  • I am preparing to make more Jam - don't tell Brian, we have a surplus of jam still
  • I am learning that I am happier when my home is clean - took long enough
  • I am trying to develop particular habits - some are harder than others
Above all; Right Now I am in love with my husband! He is so sweet and generous to me (see last post!), he makes me laugh like no one else does, and I am not sure what I would do with out him.

It All Ends Here

Mom and I joined other faithful followers to the final installment of the Harry Potter Movies!  We were able to attend the midnight showing with some of Matt's close friends while he is away attending school at BYU-I.  Harry Potter 7 part 2 was fantastic! I was impressed with how they tried hard to stay true to the last book.  The character that still moves me is Snape.  (Spoiler) That they were able to depict the level of love that Severus held for Lily Potter was incredible and i am so glad they did that justice (in my opinion).

I was able to make our shirts, just with iron-on lettering and some apliques. I was able to attend a party before the movie where we made our own wands, and HP glasses.  also made were treats for all to take with us to enjoy at the movie; pumpkin pasties, chocolate covered cockroaches, and fizzing wizzbies.  Some of our group made thier Shirts with just sharpe markers and did it freehand.  Those turned out really cute, and they had some very creative ideas; Make love not Horcruxes, Horcruxes, gotta catch 'em all (like pokemon), Team Edward Harry,  I'm with muggle --->. 

We had such a great time and I cannot wait for the DVD to be released!
