20 Minute Wonders For The Busy Piglet

You know you're Italian when you consider getting a bigger car so you can fit all of your groceries... also you can probably smell prosciutto and garlic from a mile away. But whether you're Italian, Russian, or Japanese, you probably love pizza. Yes, that gooey, cheesy, circular food of dreams, that no late night drunchies would be without. Today I made the bold move to try and make homemade pizza, and by homemade I mean precut ingredients and precooked crust, but none-the-less it was probably the best decision I have ever made and  it took only 20 minutes! Just like building a house, the key to pizza is a steady foundation, so picking the right dough is important. You can basically find pre-made pizza dough anywhere, but I used Rustic Crust from Central Market. I followed up with Cucina Antica's "La Pizza" sauce and topped it with shredded aged gruyere, sun dried tomatoes, and lot of prosciutto. Bake in the oven until cooked and crispy. Bing Bang Boom. Dinner is served. 


 The second 20 minute wonder I discovered this week is Essie's Sleek Stick™ nail appliques. These magic nail stickers are long lasting, UV cured, and for those of us who paint nails worse than an eight year old, perfection. They come in a dozen different patterns, colors, and some even have jewels :D !! Every girlie bone in my body just got bedazzled and sang Cher. This week I am wearing "embrace the lace". I love the neutral pearl background and the gilded ivory filigree looks really impressive for those who live under a rock and don't read my blog....heathens *cough*. Check out these awesome options...
stickers and stones
