Valentine's Pizza

I am already planning our Valentine's day menu! It is so much easier to cook something special at home than to go out to eat on that crazy night!

Try these heart shaped mini pizzas.

INGREDIENTS

1	can (13.8 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated classic pizza crust or 1 can (11 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated thin pizza crust
1	can (8 oz) pizza sauce
24	slices turkey pepperoni with 70% less fat
3/4	cup shredded mozzarella cheese (3 oz)

DIRECTIONS

1.	If using classic crust: Heat oven to 425°F. Lightly spray or grease large cookie sheet. If using thin crust: Heat oven to 400 F. Spray or grease 15x10-inch or larger dark or nonstick cookie sheet.
2.	Unroll dough on work surface. With sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut dough into 4 rectangles. Place rectangles on cookie sheet. Cut 1-inch slit in center of wide edge of each dough portion; on opposite wide edge across from slit, pinch dough together to shape point of heart. Slightly separate each cut slit, and gently press dough into a 6x5-inch heart, creating slight rim on edge of dough.
3.	Divide pizza sauce evenly onto hearts, spreading to within 1/2 inch of edges. Top each with 6 slices pepperoni and 3 tablespoons cheese.
4.	Bake classic crust 13 to 16 minutes, thin crust 9 to 13 minutes, or until crust edges are golden brown and cheese is melted.

Cabin Fever Party

New Year, new parties to plan! With all this cold weather, I am planning a Cabin Fever party for later this month. I know by then everyone will be tired of staying inside and ready for some good old fashioned board game playing!

Going along with the Cabin Fever idea, I am encouraging invitees to drag out their flannel shirts (easy to find in stores this year!) and bring over their favorite games.

I probably won't do much in the way of decor, since we will need the table for our competitive game playing, but I thought this tablescape from Southern Living was both rustic and charming.

Love the wooden rings as risers for a decorate-your-own-cupcake stand. The plaid tablecloth would also fit right in with my flannel theme!
