I think it is time to do a few movie reviews. In the past two weeks, I've seen Prince Caspian and Indy 4. I hardly ever see movies on opening weekends, as I'd rather avoid the crowds! I was much too excited about Caspian to pass it up, though. And my husband was as giddy as a schoolgirl about Indiana Jones 4! So we braved the crowds and ventured into the movie theatres! The movies can get up to five cupcakes!

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

Prince Caspian was amazing. I'm a huge fan of C.S. Lewis and the whole Chronicles of Narnia, so maybe I'm biased. I really enjoyed the first movie and have seen it several times. However, this new sequel is positively wonderful in every way. In my opinion, it blew the first one out of the water. The action was great. I had a full bladder in the last hour, but I honestly could not bring myself to get up and leave the movie. It was that good! :)

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Indiana Jones 4...was it really needed? I mean it's been 19 years since the last one so why continue the storyline now? Ok ok, I'm not really a fan of Indy at all. Though, I must say at least the first three were somewhat realistic. This fourth one was just ludicrous. I do not want to give any of the spoilers away about the crystal skulls in the movie, but it feels like Lucas and Spielberg just gave in completely to the folklore behind them. I thought they were better than that! I admit that the movie was entertaining minus the ridiculous parts. It had its funny moments and great acting by Shia LaBeouf (Mutt) and Karen Allen (Marion). If I had my way, the whole ending should have been left on the cutting room floor. They almost had it, they really did...and then they blew it. I think they should have known where to stop.

Ok, that's all for now! I'll update with more things later! ♥

BBQ Chicken Pizza!

Ok, when I first started this blog I thought about adding some of my recipes. So now I am finally getting around to sharing one! This is the recipe that I use to make homemade pizza. With the crescent rolls, it's definitely an eat-with-a-fork kind of meal...which is the best part!

BBQ Chicken Pizza with Crescent Roll crust

1 rectangular casserole dish
1 can of crescent rolls
BBQ sauce
honey
onions (optional)
cheese of your choice
2 pieces of boneless chicken
any other topping you might want

1. Preheat oven by the directions on the crescent tube.
2. Grill the chicken. Then, cut and dice it.
3. Saute the onions in the pan. I add a little sugar to make them even sweeter.
4. When the oven has preheated, pop the tube and lay the rolls on the bottom of the pan. Make sure the pan is covered. Put the rolls in for a bit to plump them up. Don't fully cook them just yet!
5. While they are plumping, mix some honey in the BBQ sauce to thicken and sweeten it.
6. Take the rolls out and put a layer of half of your sauce.
7. Layer chicken and onions. Add the rest of the sauce over that.
8. Add cheese to the top!
9. Place back in oven and let it finish cooking all the way through.

Voila! That's all! Crescent rolls provide the easiest crust around. I do this to make all kinds of different pizzas, with this one being my favorite of them all! Also, if you want thicker crust, layer two cans of rolls instead of one. If you try it, let me know what you think! :)

PayPerPost

Hey guys! I just came across this website the other day. I first heard about it from an online friend who has her own blog. In her own words, in one month she earned over two hundred dollars! I do not know about you, but to me that would be a significant amount of money. Money that I need! The friend who told me about it is completely trustworthy, so I took her up on her advice to sign up for a FREE membership.

All you need is an email address, a blog or website, and paypal! I figure I have nothing to lose and possibly something to gain! With the money that I earn, I hope to pay off some of my college debt each month. It would be great to get that sum to go down. As a housewife, it will be nice to bring it a little extra income on the side. And of course, I might also splurge on another Marc Jacobs purse!

So if you are an avid blogger, you should see if payperpost can offer something to you! To find out more, click the link below. I'm getting money just for making this post to tell all of you about it! How amazing is that?! :) I'm curious to see what else PPP has to offer!
