A Good Day


Today was the first day that I have ever wrote on here. I am excited to share my day-by-day experience, cool recipes and organizing tips with you guys! Anyway today has been a good day, it started out by getting up around 7:04, going in the kitchen to make an eggo bakeshoppe swirl which was actually really good. Then around 10:00 going to the YMCA to train for the 5k my mom and I will be running. We did pretty good this morning we ran and walked a little over 2 miles. I then came home, got ready, and went to CVS and Walmart with my mom. We got some good deals today so I will share them with you: 4 bottles of Head and Shoulders, 4 bottles of Pantene, 2 Therma Care Wraps, 2 things of candy for my sister and me, and 3 boxes of cereal, the original price was around 50.00 but we had a whole lot of coupons so we ended up spending 16.78. WOW! Well, then we got 16.00 dollars worth of ECB's so it was like only .78 cents - that's a big difference.

Later, when we got home I wanted to make the ultimate fruit pizza that I had been dying to make. The recipe is:

1 tube (16-1/2 oz) refrigerated suger cookie dough
1 package (8oz) cream cheeze, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 can (21 0z) cherry pie filling
1-1/2 cups pineapple tidbits, drained
3/4 cup mandarin oranges, drained
3/4 cup green grapes, halved
3/4 cup fresh strawberries, halved

Glaze:
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 can (5-1/2 oz) unsweetened apple juice

* Let dough stand at room temp for 5-10 minutes to soften. Press onto an ungreased 12in pizza pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until set and lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.

* In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar and lemon juice. Spread over crust. Top with pie filling; arrange the pineapple, oranges, grapes, and strawberries over filling.

* In a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Gradually stir in apple juice. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 min or until thickened. Cool; brush over fruit. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour befor serving. ( I didn't refrigerate it I just ate it like 15 min after I brushed the glaze over the fruit).

Thats all I did today. Heres a pic of my pizza and me. Let me know if you make it and how it turns out.
