Mini Deep Dish Pizzas

Thanks to pinterest I've been wanting to try these and finally made them for lunch today. This recipe only makes 8 because I only had one pack of crescent rolls.Scroll down for recipe without pictures.

1 pack of garlic crescent rolls (missing from picture)
Approx 10 tablespoons of pizza sauce
1/2 pack of breakfast sausage cooked and broken up
Pepperoni (I used regular size turkey pepperoni but mini would probably work better)
Shredded Mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 375
Form rolls into a cupcake pan

Bake for 5 minutes
When you take out, use a spoon to reform into a bowl

Fill with sauce. I used about a tablespoon each
Add cooked sausage, pepperoni, and cheese


Bake another 10 minutes.

Green Citrus Tea




This is very easy!

DIY Citrus Green Tea with no added sweeteners!

1 green tea bag
2 cups water
1 very ripe and sweet orange (I usually use satsumas or tangerines)

Bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Turn off fire. Put tea bag in water for 2-3 minutes (no longer or gets bitter).
Squeeze orange into a large cup (white plastic cups from Raising Canes work great).
Fill with ice, pour tea in. Enjoy!

No need for any sweeteners :) My new favorite drink.

Place asparagus around chicken on all 4 sides of baking dish
Place potatoes around chicken/on top of asparagus
