The Frog

What's the first thing that comes in your mind when you hear the word "Frog"? 

Well for me it's Disney's animated movie "The princess and the frog" and Kermit the Frog! 

Frogs are the most beloved cute animals. I guess it's because they are a bit funny looking. As I totally love them, I use them in my creations. 

If you see below are a few samples of my own creations (Birthday Invitation, Birthday Card, Art Print) with a Frog theme and also two finds I stumbled upon in Etsy which are really sweet. A Crochet Pattern Frog, by YukiYarn Designs in The Netherlands and a Newborn Frog Hat by Knit and Crochet Land in Poland.

Pizza made Easy

I am not an expert cook but these recipes I will share with you are tried and tested and they taste wonderful.  Starting here is my easy Pizza that I make often.

Last year I spent hours trying to make a nice pizza dough, from different recipes.. Well it didn't happen. So I decided that I would make my life easier. I went out and bought some tortilla wraps and used them for a base. Sometimes I buy the Lebanese pitta bread, or you can even use slice bread (but that's another recipe).

Serves 2-3

Ingredients:

4 Tortilla wraps or Pitta bread

For the sauce:
1 can of chopped tomatoes
Some basil, salt, pepper

Toppings:
About 500gr grated cheese (mozzarella, edam, cheddar)
2-3 slices of ham or turkey ham cut into little squares,
salami slices
red and yellow peppers ( about half each cut into small pieces)
some olives
a small bowl of sweetcorn

Method:
Mix the chopped tomatoes, basil, pepper and salt in the mixer.
With a spoon, spread the sauce on the 4 tortillas.
Add some of the grated cheese on top.

Now the ingredients for the toppings are ideas so here are some combinations:
Pizza 1: turkey ham, peppers, corn and olives
Pizza 2: Salami, sweetcorn
Pizza 3: peppers, sweetcorn
Pizza 4: just cheese

After adding these ingredients on you pizza, add the rest of the cheese on top of each pizza and sprinkle some basil on top.

Place in a preheated oven at 200˚C and bake for about 5-10 minutes (until the cheese melts and is golden.)

Enjoy with family and friends!
