Pringles tin, turned cute!


I am helping with a fundraiser tomorrow and these lil guys are going to be filled with cookies galore for people to bid on! They are super easy to make!  All you need is paper to wrap around a (cleaned out) Pringles tin, glue, ribbon and a tag of your choice! Thanks to Pinterest for another great idea!! :)

What to do with all this basil?! (thing 1)



I have fresh basil coming outta my ears right now, so this is "thing 1" of how I am going to try and use it! ...and I think this is my new favorite meal :o)

2 large tomatoes, cup up
1 onion
minced garlic clove
10-15 leaves of fresh basil, cut up
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1-2 Tablespoons of sugar
fresh mozzarella (I bought balls and cut them in half)
stone fired flatbread (found at Festival foods)

Combine the first 6 ingredients, let sit in fridge for a couple hours.
Drizzle olive oil on flatbread, use slotted spoon to scoop the tomato mixture on top of the flatbread, then top with fresh mozzarella and bake til melted and crispy (about 400 degrees or so)
EAT!!!

Stay tuned for "thing 2" ;o)
