{recipe} pizza muffins.

happy monday! how was everyone's weekend? mine was great, it was nice being home for a relaxing weekend after my roadtrip to alabama last weekend (see more on that here and here). we got a few things accomplished around the house, which included deciding on the new bathroom paint color!!! i say "we" because technically matt gives the approval, but since this is the third go around painting the bathroom, he could careless at this point, so it is more like i decided.  hopefully the third time is a charm, we , again "i" plan on painting before thanksgiving. i will post all about it, if it is a success, if not i will still bitterly post all about it.

like i was saying, we had a low key weekend, which entailed a sushi dinner date on friday at our favorite sushi restaurant and watching water for elephants on demand. we both read the book, and had been waiting for water for elephants to come out on demand for awhile now (we aren't movie theater people).

my thoughts... if you read the book, the book is better (which is pretty true to form with movies created from books). overall, it is an entertaining movie, nothing i would watch again and again, but entertaining and worth watching.

on saturday, we did tons of different things and had a very productive day the highlight from the day... by far this tasty appetizer, which i made to bring to dinner at matt's fathers. they are a super simple, and a crowd pleaser that's for sure. and if you are wondering how i found such an amazing recipe, pinterest has been my foodie obsession lately. i even offered to make them again on sunday for football they were that good. enjoy!
