Weekly move review

Sabah is a story about a Muslim woman in he 40's that has never married and follows the strict rules of her religion according to the expectations of her family and community. Sabah has a desire for love and freedom. She falls in love with a canadian man and this love threatens her culture and everything she believes to be the root of being Muslim. 

This movie explores the struggles that occur between cultures in our modern society. This is an independent film, but i thought the acting, story, and cinematography were great.

I give this movie 4 out of 5 stars.

Homemade Pizza

I decided I would share what I made for dinner last night. I hadn't planned on posting this recipe, but it turned out so yummy I couldn't resist!

Homemade Sauce

6oz Tomato paste
1 cup water
2tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Dash of dried Oregano
Dash of dried Basil
1 clove finely minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste

Combine the tomato paste, water, and oil and mix well. Then add the salt, pepper, Oregano, Basil, garlic and mix. Chill in the refirgerator for at least an hour. This sauce can be prepared up to a day ahead of time.

Note: You may add more water depending on your personal preference for the thickness of the sauce.

Spread the sauce on pizza dough (I used pillsbury, but publix has fresh pizza dough in a bag in the bakery), add cheese and desired toppings. Enjoy!

Bake in the oven according to the instructions on the dough. Mine was 12-17 minutes at 450 degrees.

Pringles Campaign

Pringles is introducing a new line of multigrain chips! Yum! What's even better is that if you purchase a can of multigrain pringles chips and head over here you can enter the UPC on the canister and Pringles will donate $1 for every UPC entered to the "Share Our Strength No Kid Hungry Campaign."  

I love pringles, but hate that they're not that healthy. Now I can have a healthier version and donate a dollar to charity!

Have you tried Pringles new Multigrain chips?

Kellogg's Cereal Recall

Hello fellow couponers! This morning I heard about the recall on Kellogg's Cereal. I know that many of us have stockpiles of cereal, so please check your cupboards for the following cereals: Kellogg’s Apple Jacks, Kellogg’s Corn Pops, Kellogg’s Froot Loops, and Kellogg’s Honey Smacks, with best-before dates ranging from March 26th, 2011 to June 22nd, 2011.


This is a voluntary recall, but Kellogg's reccomends not eating the cereal because it does not meet their quality standards. The package lining is said to have a strong smell affecting the cereal that could make the consumer sick to the stomach. 


If you have questions about the recall or would like to request a replacement coupon you can call the following number: 888-801-4163. 


Did anyone have the recalled product in their stockpile?

Mini Blueberry Pie

Since I have more berries than I know what to do with, I decided to make some blueberry pie. This wasn't just any blueberry pie, though. Earlier this week I saw a great recipe for Pie in a Jar over at Our Best Bites. I was going to originally do that adorable recipe, but alas could not find tiny little mason jars at my Publix. Instead I used mini pie pans that I alreadt had. They are about 4 inches in diameter and are so cute! 
I used the following recipe but halved everything and used two mini pie pans:

• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 4 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
• 1 tablespoon butter

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. Mix sugar, cornstarch, salt, and cinnamon, and sprinkle over blueberries.
3. Line pie dish with one pie crust. Pour berry mixture into the crust, and dot with butter. Cut remaining pastry into 1/2 - 3/4 inch wide strips, and make lattice top. Crimp and flute edges.
4. Bake pie on lower shelf of oven for about 50 (I actually recommend baking it for only 30 minutes for the smaller pies. Make sure to keep an eye on your pies because the time will definitely vary depending on the size) minutes, or until crust is golden brown.

I used regular sized Pillsbury pie shells and cut out a shape to fill the mini pans. If you decide to try to make the mini pies I would reccomend cutting about an inch larger than the form you are using. Mine didn't have a crust around the edge, so it was a little more difficult to attach the crosshatch. 

There was plenty of dough left so I made some extra cute hearts. <3

Here is the final product. Isn't it cute? It was very yummy too! 

Happy Baking!
