I have basil a plenty this summer… so much so Fab!Hubby passionately exclaimed I MUST make more dishes with basil. In my quest for good basil dished I discovered you can make fire grilled pizza… at home!

How cool is that!

… and it keeps the kitchen cool in the hot summer months.

I posted the piece and the recipe over on The Tasteful Life. So, fire up the grill and head on over to The Tasteful Life for some umm-mmm good homemade pizza >>

Tony Chachere (client) has this really cool recipes module available on their site and I have been using it like crazy.

When I came across a white chicken pizza recipe, I thought it would be perfect for spicing up and decided to start adding my own Tony’s inspired recipes.

It’s a quick and easy meal using store bought rotisserie chicken – perfect for a mid-week meal. My kiddos do NOT do spice… so this is a pretty tame recipe as far as Cajun goes… feel free to walk on the wild side – just add more seasoning.

I am having oodles of fun creating content as an Editor over at The Tasteful Life…

The Tasteful Life is about making the everyday more meaningful and redefining what it means to live a rich life. We take these experiences from the kitchen to entertaining while embracing cultures and traditions.

My first post was a recipe to honor my Mother-in-Laws Birthday… Pink + Champagne + Cupcakes!

6:02…

That’s what the neon red numbers glowed on the other side of the bed as the door slammed open. In pour the kid, the dog, the cat… the whiney voice in my head reminds me my alarm does not go off for another 28 minutes. I am surprised I can do such complex math this close to waking.

Z-Man’s little face appears a mere 6 inches from mine. Nose to nose, his face a little bleary because my eyes have not adjusted to being open, I see he has combed his hair “neat” for school.

“Can you teach me to make breakfast, so I can make you breakfast in bed?”

My heart melts… queue the sitcom canned audience “ahhhhhh”

Mother’s Day is Sunday, I imagine they have been talking about it in school. I think I will send Z-Man’s Kindergarten teacher a Thank You note for the AMAZING job she is doing… and maybe a box of chocolates… and a Starbucks gift card.

With one eye open and one eyed squinty… I reach up and touch his adorable little face,

“Yes love, I will teach you to make breakfast… but not right now.”

I guess if I gotta wake up 28 minutes early… that’s not a bad way to do it.

Hope everyone out there has a wonderful Mother’s Day… and nudge, nudge, nudge… here is your reminder to drop your mom a card in the mail. (Don’t worry, I haven’t mailed mine yet either.)
