Taco Pizza!











So the end of fall semester is closing to an end. That means time to clean out the fridge...ugh. So one night my boyfriend Rob and I were scrounging through the fridge trying to find something to eat, he didn't want the veggie burger and peas, so I had to get creative with the little things I had in my fridge. So I came up with the Pizza Taco. So next time you want something satisfying and delicious, but don't have a lot in your fridge, use this recipe!!! You can basically use anything you want or have on hand. ENJOY!

INGREDIENTS:
serves one
- 1 soft tortilla
- 2 tbsp of pizza sauce, salsa or tomatoes, whatever you have
-1/4 cup shredded cheese, (I used a mix of cheddar and mozzarella)
- 5 turkey pepperonis or regular (the turkey kind is a lot lower in fat)
-seasonings: basil, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper
-cooking spray

DIRECTIONS:
-Spray both sides of tortilla and rub both sides with seasonings
-Heat pan sprayed with cooking spray to medium heat
-Place tortilla on pan and spread on pizza sauce
-Sprinkle cheese over sauce, what till the cheese starts to melt slightly, it will take a few minutes but DO NOT WALK AWAY, because you know the second you do, it will start to burn, stoves have a cruel way of doing that. Make sure you slide a spatula under tortilla to make sure its not sticking or burning.
-Once cheese starts to melt put on pepperoni.
-Place tortilla on plate and gently fold in half
-Enjoy! Careful it will be hot!

Blue Ocean Sushi

Blue Ocean Sushi

I am a sushi lover, so I'm on the hunt to find the best sushi place in St. Louis. The other night my
boyfriend Rob and I went out for sushi. He was new to the whole sushi thing, so he was a little skeptical, but he ended up enjoying the food. We went to Blue Ocean Sushi down in the loop. Inside the place has a "cool vibe" atmosphere about itself. The people were really nice there and we also go to sit at the bar and watch the sushi being made.
I ordered the Eel & Cucumber roll and the Dragon Roll. The Dragon Roll was a regular californi
a roll with eel, avocado and eel sauce. Rob ordered the California Roll and the Bazinga Roll it was concocted of spicy shrimp, asparagus topped with crab stick crunch and cajun sauce.
They also have some really good deals. On Monday nights from 5 PM- 7 PM, all Nigiri sushi is only $1 each. Everyday you can get the All-You-Can-Eat Sushi deal, for all you extreme sushi eaters out there. They have three different levels with the the lowest lunch one starting at $14.99 and the lowest dinner one started at $20.99.
Although the sushi was good my sushi obsession still exists, SO THE HUNT GOES ON!
