March 21th “puppy day”

Hello everybody!

Today is puppy day! Time to love your dog and remember when he was a little puppy.

Here are some suggestions on how to celebrate this holiday!

Casual- take your dog or puppy to a walk and play with them.

Committed- adopt an orphan puppy or needy dog and give them home, a loving parent, and a chance to have a happy life.

Hard-Core- start a campaign inviting people to adopt puppies and love them.

Color challenge

Today’s color challenge is “smile all day” wearing sunset orange; we chose this color because it’s a nice and different color to wear and if you like to stand out sunset orange is your color! So go out there wearing a dress, a purse or even your shoes color sunset orange!

frute friday festival present's today's recipe 

recipe of mangoes: Mango Basil Personal-Sized Tortilla Pizzas  

INGREDIENTS:

4 small tortilla shells

1/2 cup tomato sauce or pizza sauce (I used Newman's Own tomato basil sauce)

1 cup shredded cheese (I used a Mexican-style mixture)

1/3 cup diced mango (I diced a handful of TJ's frozen mango chunks; also try peaches, apricots, nectarines, strawberries - either frozen or fresh when they are in season)

2 tablespoons chopped basil (I used dried basil, not fresh)

pinches of salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, oregano, all are optional and to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 425F. Place tortilla shells on a baking sheet and spread about 2 tablespoons of sauce on each shell, taking care not to spread within approximately 1 inch of the perimeter, to allow for expansion while baking.

Evenly sprinkle about 1/4 cup of cheese per tortilla.

Sprinkle the diced mango equally among the shells, about 2 tablespoons sprinkled on top of each.

Sprinkle each tortilla with a generous pinch of basil, and optionally season with any remaining seasonings, to taste.

Bake for 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and edges of the tortillas begin to brown. Rotating pan once halfway through baking will help the cheese to melt more evenly and the tortilla shells to brown more evenly.

Pizzas are best warm and fresh, serve immediately.
