Homemade BBQ Chicken Pizza

Has anyone else been watching the Olympics like crazy, or just our household? I swear we have the Olympics on all day, it's been so fun to watch!

A few nights ago we made this Homemade BBQ Pizza and it turned out way better than I thought it would. The original recipe is from Family Cookbook Recipes and we did make it our own - we used regular BBQ sauce instead of spicy, no pepperoncini peppers, onion powder instead of red onion and no cilantro. It was super easy to make and this one will be on repeat. Also, we had 3-4 slices leftover so another 3-4 serving dinner. I love making homemade pizza, it's so much healthier than regular pizza and you actually know what ingredients are going on it. I purchased the pre-baked pizza crust from Albertsons and this recipe was really easy to make. Jace has been requesting a homemade pizza for quite some time and we thought that a BBQ Chicken pizza would be a different and unique twist on the regular pepperoni pizza we get. We are also big fans of the California Pizza Kitchen frozen pizza but homemade is always better. If you have time to put the chicken in the crockpot, that seems to taste better than boiling the chicken but it really depends on how much time you have or how much you want to spend on the chicken. Pair with a fresh salad. 

Ingredients:
1 pre-baked pizza crust
1 cup BBQ sauce
1 tbsp onion powder
2-3 boneless chicken breasts
2 cups Colby-Jack cheese
Pepper

Directions:
Boil chicken so it can easily shred (place chicken breasts in a pot and pour chicken broth over the chicken until it covers them. Add pepper and garlic powder. Cover the pot and bring the liquid to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat and cook about 8-10 minutes on simmer and then shred with two forks.) 



Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place pizza crust on a baking sheet. Spread BBQ sauce on crust. Top with chicken and Colby-Jack cheese. 



Bake in oven for 15 minutes. Devour.

Book Review and Summary - Prince Harry - "Spare"

Image
I may be one of the few, but I was intrigued by Prince Harrys' story, which prompted me to pick up his book "Spare." I have to say, as I first started reading, I couldn't put it down, I think I read 50+ pages the first day. I was aware of Prince Harry but knew very little about his life. I remember negative things in the news, all of the negative stories of him. He sounded to me like the "troubled" brother, and, unfortunately, he and everyone else believed he was. I also now understand the meaning behind the book title. The name "Spare" is a name that is described as the one that isn't important. Think of a spare tire, you are kind of pushed to the side until you are needed. As Prince Harry said, his brother was the "Heir" and he was the "Spare" and it was very unfortunate events throughout  the book that describe how and why he felt like this. He mentioned Willy (Prince William) and him were, "The Heir and the Spare. I

10 Ways to Make Parenting a Middle Schooler a Little Bit Easier

Image
My cousin and I were spending some time together a few days ago and she asked about Jace and how he was doing in school. After a few minutes, she suggested that I blog about it. Initially, I wasn't too keen on the idea, but after doing some research, I realized that parenting a middle schooler can be tough for a lot of parents (I got lucky and he is probably one of the easiest ones) at times so I decided to write down what I do to make our days better. Having a middle schooler is so different than having a child in elementary, to me. Here are 10 things that I/we have done that has really made our days easier and better together.  1. Be consistent - every morning I ask my son how he slept and when he comes home, I ask him how his day was. When we eat together as a family (2-3X per week), we each go around the table discussing our highlight of the day. If I somehow miss or forget the questions, he asks me what my highlight was or how my day was which I absolutely love.  On the same t
