I know I have been very absent for a very long time, but I'm doing my best and hopefully you are still with me :)  I have been fairly busy at work and in my free time I've been getting involved in a new hobby... couponing! To some of you this is probably not a shock because I instagram and tweet about my couponing ventures but it's definitely something that I'm really enjoying.  I so far have been doing a good job of resisting clipping coupons for items I don't need and I have not bought anything we don't already use.  So no hoarding for me!  

One of the things I really love about couponing is it almost makes meal planning easier!  Instead of planning our meals for the week based upon what sounds good, I go through the stores' circulars and find things that are inexpensive and plan that way!  It makes a world of difference.  It makes planning the meals less confusing and allows me to feed Matt and myself on the cheap :)

I brought this lovely little tart to a dinner party at Matt's boss' house and it was a huge hit. Since the party was on a weeknight, I needed something that I could make the night before and keep at room temperature to bring to the party. I found this recipe on Pinterest and tweaked it just a touch. This recipe was so easy and required pretty minimal effort, especially because I used store-bought puff pastry. I will definitely make this again but may even change it up a bit by adding some drizzles of a good balsamic, or a touch more goat cheese.

I've been craving something for forever.  FOR.EV.ER. (Sandlot Style).  I've been craving some peanut sauce.  Any way I can get it.  I've had this Jade Peanut Sauce for a long long time and have been dying to use it again.  But I didn't want to make a noodle dish... I'm sort of "pasta'd-out" (yes, I know that's not a word).  So instead I thought I'd go with a pizza.  This pizza is so great because it is so easy to make, super versatile, and quick (and muy delicioso!).

Goat Cheese, Fig Jam, and Caramelized Onion Pizza

I made this pizza like 3 months ago and have just now posted about it.  Jeez what is wrong with me?  I should have told you all about this earlier.  When I made this, I had just returned from my grandmother's funeral and I was in the midst of studying for the Bar Exam so I didn't post it as soon as I should have and then all these other exciting recipes distracted me.  Truth be told, I thought the pizza was a bit rich and I wasn't sure if I would love it enough to share.  I think (as you will see from the verdict) that this would be better served as an appetizer for a group of people and not as a main course for one person.  It was delicious and flavorful.  I knew I wanted to combine goat cheese and figs and added the onions as a little bit of an extra oomph.  I went off of the recipe from Smitten Kitchen for Ricotta and Onion Pizza to make the recipe and then added my own flare.  It doesn't look all that pretty but don't judge a book by it's cover (or in this case, a pizza by it's dark caramelized onions!)... I hope you like it!
