When you love to cook, it’s hard to remember that not every dish needs to be elegant, time consuming and complicated. Sometimes it’s about coming back to the basics – which is something I am guilty of. I like to put a nice meal on the table every night, so spending a few hours in the kitchen isn’t even something I blink at – but not everyone enjoys cooking the way I do (why you’d be reading a food blog and not enjoy cooking though… well that just boggles me).
Bubble Up Pizza is something I was educated in when my father and I moved in with my now step-mom and sister. It was a quick, inexpensive meal for nights when the parents may have been out late or we needed an after school snack.
Quick Dinner Fixins’ Bubble Up Pizza
From the kitchen of my step-momma
Ingredients:
- 2 containers refrigerated biscuit dough, 6 biscuits each (I used Pillsbury)
- 1 jar pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1 cup favorite toppings
- 5 fresh basil leaves
Preparation: Preheat oven as per directions on dough. With a sharp knife, divide each biscuit into 4. In a large bowl, combine diced biscuit dough, sauce, 1 1/2 cups cheese and toppings. Stir to combine.
Pour mixture into greased oven safe skillet or 9×13 baking pan. Chiffonade the basil and sprinkle on top along with remaining cheese. Bake according to directions on dough, checking to make sure dough is cooked through and cheese is bubbling (I always bake mine for an additional 5 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
You can google many different versions of bubble up pizza, but my step-mom and sis taught me this one so they are getting the credit.
You’ve been warned: this is light as air so you will eat waaay more of it then you intended to. Serve with a salad and fill up on that before diving into this.
Stop repeating yourself!
One of Mashable’s Top 10 Best Mac Apps of 2011!
How many times have you sent off an email to a customer, co-worker, contractor or vendor with crystal clear instructions, only to find out later that your recipient completely misunderstood what you were saying.
So you explain it again. And again. And again.
How much time are you wasting with these “email roundtrips”?
But what if you could create clearer communications the FIRST time? What if you could eliminate email roundtrips completely? How much time would that save you each day? Each week? Each year?
Imagine how much more productive you could be in your business if you only had to explain things once.
The best way to clarify what you are saying is to use pictures. But most screen capture applications only let you work with one picture at a time. It. is. like. only. allowing. you. to. say. one. word. at. a. time.
Clarify lets you use pictures to talk in complete sentences. And that completely changes the way you communicate. Here is what one reviewer from the Mac Apps Store said:
So you’ve been hearing a lot about SOPA, is the interweb turning black today? And why? And what does that mean for me? A lot of questions if you have no idea. And since going to Wikipedia is not an option today, because they did turn black you have no clue. Google even Blacked out there Logo!!!
That is why we decided to publish not one but two infographics. In one post, don’t worry you infographic-haters out there 
. One will give you a quick overview of what SOPA is, the other one looks at the implications of SOPA when it comes to business.
Don’t want to look at infographics? Well luckily for you Wikipedia didn’t turn black on everything. They have one page still in place where you can read all about SOPA and PIPA. To give you a heads up, here is the paragraph about what SOPA and PIPA are:
What are SOPA and PIPA?
SOPA and PIPA represent two bills in the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate respectively. SOPA is short for the “Stop Online Piracy Act,” and PIPA is an acronym for the “Protect IP Act.” (“IP” stands for “intellectual property.”) In short, these bills are efforts to stop copyright infringement committed by foreign web sites, but, in our opinion, they do so in a way that actually infringes free expression while harming the Internet.
Oh, and if you are joining in in this protest, make sure you have your SEO ready so it won’t hurt you afterwards.
