Garden Veggie "Pizza"

So, it's nearly lunch time and my stomach has become a tornado siren. Watch out! Take cover! Generally now I'd eat, so I thought I might share my lunch with you today! I'm making garden veggie pizzas!

You'll need...
- 2 tortillas, white or wheat
- 2 handfuls of shredded cheese (I'm using Mexican because it melts nicely, any shredded cheese will do!)
- 1 medium tomato, preferably fresh from the garden
- about 1/4 -1/2 cup fresh spinach
- a pinch of oregano (optional)

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Chop the tomato into medium thick slices. Chop the spinach up as well into small pieces.
3. Sprinkle the cheese onto the tortillas, leaving out a little bit of the cheese. Sprinkle on the oregano now, if using.
4. Bake in the oven for 3 minutes or until the cheese is slightly melting.
5. Sprinkle the spinach on the tortillas along with two or three tomato slices on each. Add on the remaining cheese.
6. Bake for 3 minutes again.
7. Let cool slightly then cut and enjoy!

Serves 1-2 people

 

Note:
You can use other vegetables too! Spinach and mushroom, tomato and basil, green pepper, onions, or whatever you have on hand!

This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled and is perfect for a lunch with friends because it's so quick, easy, and delicious!

Please be careful when using the oven!

Stay healthy! XOXO

Bohemian Bold

The first day of school is coming up quick! With summer coming to an end, school is about to start! Personally I love the first days back at school. Reconnecting with friends, seeing how everybody changed, new teachers, and the easiness of not too much schoolwork yet. You have to remember, though, that everyone else is doing this too! Create an awesome impression with the easy breeziness of a maxi skirt. It says boho prep with a lightness that will surely draw attention. It's a bold way to say, "Hey, I'm back!".

I chose this bright blue maxi from Aeropostale! It's
carefree and flutters out behind you in the
prettiest way. On top, I chose this yellow striped
shirt for contrast! The outcome, easy breezy boho.

I always accessorize! The key is to add pieces that complement
each other. Play with textures. For example, I paired a plain
chunky jersey bracelet with a beaded bracelet and a thin colorful
knotted bracelet! You could also do this with necklaces and
play with metals, thicknesses, ribbon, and stone!
Now you have the outfit, what about the rest?

 For hair, go with an updo. Wearing your hair down distracts from the outfit. Brush it up and away into a high bun or a slick ponytail. Colorful hair ties and barrettes are key to make a simple hairstyle look complex!

As for makeup, natural is best! Show off your summer tan with a peachy blush! As for the eyes, line your waterline with white eyeliner and highlight your inner corners and brow bone with a light champagne color to open up your eyes! Fresh lips is key, so swipe on a berry shade!

Shoes are important for completing the look, so throw on some strappy sandals or flats with a jewel or floral accent!

Dress to impress! XOXO
