21 Days to Getting Organized Challenge
| January 10, 2011 | Posted by admin under Natural Cleaning Products |
I found a most delightful blog today called, A Bowl Full of Lemons. It’s a blog about cleaning and organizing your home. She posted a 21 day challenge to help us all get our houses organized. I decided to jump right in and tackle the first challenge today since we are snowed in for the day!
Day 1: Clean out a junk drawer
Clean out a junk drawer! I chose the junk drawer by our refrigerator where we stuff everything when we clean the kitchen.
I took a picture before….. It doesn’t look like too much junk!
But looks can be deceiving…. Here it is after I took it all out and put it on the counter!
It took about 10 minutes to sort though these items. I decided to throw away about 75% of it. I took a few items to other places in the house, but kept a few pens and scissors so they would be easy to find.
And the after picture…..
That was too easy! What’s next????

My husband (the pizza doctor) made me the most delicious pizza and I wanted to share it with you because it so easy to make, it is healthy, and it’s delicious!
Here are the steps if you would like to make your own!
Ingredients:
1 flour tortilla
2 tsp of creamed cheese with chives
Smoked Salmon Sliced thinly
Sliced sweet onion
Low fat shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions:
Assemble the ingredients and bake in a preheated oven on an oven stone at 500 degrees.
This is the creamed cheese we used. Spread it to the edges of the tortilla.
He used this premium sliced smoked salmon on the pizza. He sliced it a little bit smaller.
Place salmon evenly on pizza.
Add sliced onions.
Add low fat mozzarella cheese.
Sprinkle corn meal on your pizza peel and your hot stone to prevent sticking. Gently slide pizza onto pizza stone using the pizza peel.
Bake for approximately 8 minutes or until cheese on top browns. Remove from oven with pizza peel.
Use pizza cutter to slice into 8 pieces.
