fruit pizza for the fourth of july!

happy fourth of july everyone!
i hope you have plenty of sunshine and relaxation on your schedule!

recently, i've been loving fruit pizza! 
just in case you're looking for a last minute sweet treat, 
i highly recommend this yummy one!

deep dish fruit pizza
[adapted from the pioneer woman]

what you need:
one roll of pre-made sugar cookie dough
handfull of strawberries
handfull of blueberries
half a nectarine
8 oz of cream cheese
1 jar of marshmallow cream

what to do:
place the sugar cookie dough into the base of your pan. you can use a pie pan like i did, 
or you can roll it out flat, or just make cookies like normal!
bake the dough according to the package directions, or, until it's golden brown. 
set aside and let it cool down completely.

while the cookie is cooling, cut up your fruit!

in a mixing bowl, mix the cream cheese and marshmallow cream.
be careful not to overmix!

spread the cream cheese mixture over the cookie, and then top with the fruit!

see? easy!

what are you making this fourth of july?

gracefully made re-designed

i'm so excited to to introduce my new logo and blog design!
i've been wanting to make a change for a while, but couldn't quite figure out what i wanted.
change is hard sometimes, but in the end, it feels so good! 

i've also added a gracefully made designs facebook page!
i'd love it if you like me! :)

beep beep!

i am excited to introduce my new toy!
last weekend, bub-hub and i traded in my SUV for a fiat! :)
it's tiny and cute and it makes me feel like i'm racing around in mario kart.
i absolutely loved my suv, but this car was just too fun to pass up.
new cars are so fun. i am one lucky girl!


and in case anyone was worried, raider loves his new ride. :)

am i the only one who picks out cars based solely on their appearance?
