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!

ASMR - Tingles Everywhere

I have a lot of problems with my anxiety that gets so bad that I can't even leave the house. It also disrupts my sleep and I get pretty sleep deprived. I take enough pills already, and I didn't want to tack an addictive sleeping pill on top of everything. But I finally found something that actually relaxes me enough that I can finally get some very much needed shuteye. ASMR videos. ASMR stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. ASMR Research & Support defines it as "a physical sensation characterized by a pleasurable tingling that typically begins in the head and scalp, and often moves down the spine and through the limbs." These tingling sensations are triggered by either an internal trigger (from specific thought patterns) or external ones. External triggers can include things like whispering or unique speech patters, watching educational/instructive videos, sounds like scratching, tapping or paper crinkling, close attention from another person (like e...

Smiley360 Review: Kikkoman Juicy Bird Project

So recently, I was chosen for Smiley360's " Kikkoman Juicy Bird Project ". In this we were to brine a chicken or turkey using Kikkoman Soy Sauce. Although I received these items to review for free, this is entirely my own opinion. I also apologize ahead of time for my usually horrible pictures as my cell phone has trouble in low light. I think it's time to start using a proper camera! "Experience the taste of umami in your meals with Kikkoman Soy Sauce . Try cooking with this dynamic sauce in traditional Asian dishes, mainstream American foods, classic Mediterranean dishes, Caribbean cuisine, or even to brine poultry." I've never brined poultry before, so I was excited to participate. I received not only 2 coupons for a free bottle of Kikkoman Soy Sauce, but a 5 gallon brining bucket as well. First, here's the recipe that was recommended: Kikkoman Chicken Brine Recipe Ingredients 2 cups Kikkoman Soy Sauce 2 Gallons water 1...

BzzAgent Review: Kashi Hummus Crisps

Another review for the amazing BzzAgent website for Kashi Hummus Crisps . As always, although I was provided this product for free, this is my own opinion. I was really excited to be able to try this. I am a HUGE hummus fan. I really can't get enough of the stuff. So when BzzAgent sent me an e-mail about the campaign, I jumped at a chance to participate. As always, some information about the product first. Kashi Hummus Crisps are air-poppped chickpea crisps that are made without partially hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, or artificial anything. They have at least 5g of whole grain, 3g of fiber and 3g of protein. What is even more fantastic is that the serving size is 27 chips! And only 120 calories for that 27! Can you believe it? Compare that to most chips out there (I'm looking at YOU, Doritos!) that only have a serving size of 11 chips for more calories! So it's an all around healthy snack. The Kashi Hummus Crisps that I got were the Sea S...
