Pizza Dip

I love dip. Probably a lot more than I should. I stumbled upon a few recipes talking about pizza dip, and thought it was a fantastic idea. However, I found a lot of them lacked exactly the spice that I wanted, so my friend and I came up with our own version.

I love this recipe because it doesn't take a lot of time to prepare, and takes even less time to cook. Which is a plus in my book. You can serve it with chips, crackers, or my favorite: sliced french bread.

Pizza Dip

Ingredients

  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp basil
  • 1/2 tsp Italian spices
  • 1/2 tsp parsley
  • 1 tsp sugar (optional)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Sliced black olives
  • Pepperoni slices

  

Instructions

  • Spray a microwave safe dish with non-stick spray.
  • In a separate bowl, soften cream cheese by microwaving it for 30-45 seconds (or leave it out to soften for a bit beforehand). Mix spices into cream cheese.
  • In a shallow microwave-safe dish, spread cream cheese mixture evenly at the bottom. 
  • Sprinkle 1/2 of the mozzarella and parmesan cheese on top of the cream cheese
  • Pour the pizza sauce on top of mixture
  • Sprinkle with remaining cheese
  • Top with desired amount of black olives and pepperoni
  • Cook in the microwave for about 3-minutes until cheese becomes melted.

Enjoy!

Living with Borderline Personality Disorder

Mental health problems affect around one in four people in any given year. They range from common problems, such as depression and anxiety, to rarer problems such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.    BPD is much more common than you might imagine. A recent study on the prevalence of mental health disorders in the U.S. found that about 1.6 percent of the population has BPD. ... In fact, about 75% of those diagnosed with BPD in the U.S. are women.    I've had Borderline Personality Disorder most of my life, and it definitely has been a struggle. I wanted to go over the main things about it and my personal experiences. I hope maybe this helps someone else that has it, or to help anyone understand it more in general. If you want to share this, please do. Trigger Warning : I will talk about some disturbing and personal things, but I feel it could be good for others and cathartic for myself as well. We have an intense fear of abandonment. So we frantic...

Skeptical Keurig User Turned to the Instant Side

 Here's my reveiw for the Nescafé Memento. A quick note: This package, including samples and coupons, was sent to me by BzzAgent as one of their advertising campaigns. However, this is my own blog and my own opinion on the product. I rarely use instant coffee. I've always been the type who had to have it properly brewed. One who worshiped her Keurig. I just always counted it among those things you use if you ran out of stuff to brew and couldn't swing by a coffee shop. When I received the BzzAgent e-mail to try Nescafé Memento, I figured I would give it a shot, but I was very skeptical. Monitor not included. Now on the box, there is the typical packaging that you see a lot of times for coffee. A nice hot cup with foam. I was actually surprised that, there was actually foam there! It wasn't as much as you would get from a coffeehouse, but the fact there was any was impressive. According to the box, it uses real nonfat milk that is infused with airy bu...

Drug Trials’ Encouraging Results for Borderline Personality Disorder

I wanted to link to a fantastic article over at the Personality Disorders Awareness Network about drug trials that were conducted that show two medications that might be beneficial to those of us with BPD. Unfortunately due to the nature of BPD, there is no medication that can take the place of therapy, especially Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. But medication is a great supplement to help manage our moods like irritability, depression and aggression. This article goes over Zyprexa (Olanzapine) and Seroquel (Quetiapine). http://www.pdan.org/drug-trials-encouraging-results-for-bpd/ Have any of you been on either of these medications? How did it affect you? On a side note, I apologize for the lengthy time between posts and for this sorter post today. Sometimes it is difficult for me to talk about my own dealings with BPD. Next post I hope to cover Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, how it is beneficial, and my own experiences, so keep an eye out in the coming days for that!
