Game Day Style


Super Bowl is this weekend, and
since none of the teams we cheer for
are in it, our focus is on two 
other very important aspects of 
Super Bowl Sunday; Food and Fashion.

The fashion part maybe only we care
about, but we like to show up
to any party dressed appropriately,
and Super Bowl Sunday is no excuse.
We'll show our team spirit the only
way we know how;
in a good outfit.

Today we are sharing some 
of our own sports inspired looks
in the past, as well as some other
really great options we may have
to try out.

What's your go to
Game Day Style?

Homemade Pizza Rolls



January is the month of Resolutions,
and also the month of breaking resolutions
in the name of Super Bowl Parties.
Luckily it's only one day, but 
we love to indulge in the countless
appetizers and dips, and whatever other
delights make their way to the party.

We also find this as a good opportunity
to experiment a little bit in the kitchen.
This week, we stepped in the kitchen to 
recreate a childhood favorite;

PIZZA ROLLS!


You will need:

1 package of square wontons
Pizza sauce (we made our own. Recipe below)
Mozerella
Peperoni
Olive Oil

For the Pizza Sauce*

1 Container of baby tomatoes
Olive Oil
½ Tbs. Red Pepper Flakes
½ Tbs. Paprika
1 Tbs. Italian Seasoning
1 Tbs. Minced Garlic

*Side note: I tend to sort of measure and taste,
 so these measurements are an estimate of the amounts
 I actually used, but I have made this recipe three
 times, and it has turned out AMAZING every time.

Coat the bottom of your sauce pan with olive oil and 
turn on Medium heat. Add all of our seasonings. 
Stir them into the oil. Then add your tomatoes. 
Cover your pan with a lid and simmer tomatoes
 for about 7-10 minutes, or until your tomatoes are soft,
 or can press down with a fork. 
(see picture below. Tomatoes will wilt)

Pour contents into a mixing bowl, to blend with
 an immersion blender, or into a food processor/blender.  
Blend the mixture until the consistency resembles that of a sauce.




 


Pizza Roll Mixture

1 block of mozzarella
1 link of peperoni
Pizza Sauce

Preheat the oven 425 Degrees

Mince up your cheese and peperoni into tiny cubes. 
Then add your *cooled* down pizza sauce to the mix.
 You do not want to add hot pizza sauce to
 the mix to prematurely melt your cheese.

   

Lay your wontons onto your baking sheet lined 
with parchment paper. Taking a spoon, place a small 
amount in the middle of each wonton. You do not
 want to put too much in the middle so the wontons 
do not overflow while backing. Then, taking some 
water, line the edges of the the wont, and fold it over, 
pressing the sides of the wonton to seal. Repeat this until 
your baking sheet is full. Taking a basting brush, dust a
 small amount of olive oil onto each pizza roll.

Bake in the oven for 10-14 minutes, or until golden. 
You make also broil them for a little bit after baking for a little crunch.






 Remove from oven, and
Enjoy!

Baker Boy Hat; From Fall to Spring




ICYMI...

 last week, we shared one 
of our favorite trends from this Fall/Winter.


Whether you know it as a page boy hat,
a captain hat, fisherman hat,
cabbie hat, newsies hat, baker
boy hat, etc, this newly found staple to
our closet is one we hope to easily transition
into the warmer spring months.
We have already been scouting around
the internet for some more colorful
additions. We love the idea of a mustard, red
or even emerald colored hat. Would pop
quite nicely with some of the spring trends
we've been seeing hitting the stores.
The best thing about hat trends too,
is they make for great cover ups when
you're having a horrible hair day.

In the meantime, we are 
sharing some inspiration for styling this 
iconic must have accessory.
We also included a couple links
to our favorites to shop for one of
your own!
