2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato pesto
1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 unbaked pizza crust
1 tomato, sliced
1 bunch fresh spinach, torn
1 sweet onion, sliced
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, chopped
1 (6 ounce) package feta cheese, crumbled

Directions:

Preheat oven according to pizza crust package directions.
In a small bowl combine butter, olive oil, garlic, pesto, basil, oregano and Parmesan cheese. Spread mixture evenly on pizza crust.
Arrange tomato, spinach, onion and jalapeno on pizza. Top with crumbled feta cheese.
Bake according to pizza crust package directions.

• When I made this pizza I used regular pesto, left out the jalepeno and tomato (I didn't have any) and added chicken. I also sprinkled some more freshly grated parmesan cheese ontop when i took it out of the oven. It was very good!

Playroom

We recently moved some things around in the house so that we could make Hudson a playroom. I started painting it last night and can't wait to finish getting it all put together. I saw this picture and it inspired me to do a chalkboard wall in the room. I also used magnetic paint on the bottom half of the chalkboard wall so that he can put all of his magnets on the wall. You can find both paints at Home Depot. The magnetic paint is a bit pricey, but one can covers 16 square feet. You have to paint 3 thin coats and continuously stir the paint as it settles quickly.
