After ST I made some calls – 7 calls to be precise to tree service contractors and to landscapers. I now have some people coming out on Thursday to quote taking down those two trees and planting something more slimming!
I want the two trees by the door removed....

I think these are beautiful and MUCH prefer them! And someone to maintain them on the regular.
I CAN’T WAIT!Then I ran downstairs to make a new recipe for dinner - Spinach-Mushroom Pizza from Fitness Magazine. I tweaked it a good bit (for portions) and we were really happy with it. Here’s the recipe for four servings:

We REALLY liked it – I personally think that dropping dollops of ricotta on ANY pizza is absolutely genius and makes it look fancy. I’m such a dork. Since we have spinach left over from that pack I’m probably going to make this pizza again Sunday for next week – woo!
I ended the night watching TV with Austin and Reuben and reading some more of my Book Club book, Beach Club – great book so far! I ended up at 1,671 calories, 242 carbs, 39 fat grams and 73 protein grams. Here’s what I ate.
Is there anything at your house you’re DYING to have someone come out and change?
Random side note: Are you watching Grey's Anatomy? Loved the flashback episode last night!

Your house is so beautiful! Yet I agree, slimmer trees would be much more chic :)
Loved Grey's last night! It's about time they had a good episode...I was really not into it for a while. I loved seeing Elis and The Chief when they were young, and that HIV case has me sobbing. Great episode!
Your blog is SO cute!
I've been obsessed with making pizzas lately. Anytime we make pizzas, we usually end up having them TWICE a week because the first time we have them, they're so good! I love the idea of fat free ricotta.
We went to a restaurant recently that made a sweet ricotta-like bruschetta. YUM. It was basically just a loaf of french bread sliced with garlic oil, ricotta cheese and the drizzled with honey. I decided to try it at home a few days later and mastered it! I bought a small mutltigrain baguette, sliced it, sprinkle a little bit of garlic infused olive oil, bake for 8 mins @ 400 degrees and then top it with a layer of fat free ricotta and finished it off by drizzling the honey on top of the ricotta. You have to try it!
you should totally go for the 2nd tree.its very elegant looking.
if i had a house....not sure what i would change.
greys was fabulous last night. i agree. the flashback was good!
Pizza looks FANTASTIC! Yummy!
We are pulling out our old Aspen's (hopefully before Spring) since all 4 of them are dead! Not looking forward to hiring someone to yank them out and clueless what to put back in their place.
Have a great weekend!
I bought a 'fixer-uper' so there is a laundry list of things I would love to change. An entire new master bath, fence the backyard, and remove tons of trees (we live in the woods). Making a list makes me add up the $$ and makes it more depressing... 1 thing at a time, I guess.
Ricotta is the best on top of pizza, i tried cottage cheese, but it was messy. I put ricotta on toast w/pb for breakfast. mmmm
Mmmmmmmm, that pizza looks amazing, especially the CHEESE!! :)
There's a looooong list of things we still need to do to our house, but we have to go really slow since it gets so expensive to take on a lot of home improvement projects. At the top of the list is a new heater/AC.
Funny how the one tree grew bigger than the other! I like the tall, skinny trees. It's surprising how expensive tree removal can be! An old co-worker of mine had one fall in her yard during a storm, but luckily, the neighbor had to pay since it was his tree!
The pizza looks great... I love homeade pizza and I LOVE ricotta.
i believe there is absolutely NOTHING better than homemade pizza, yours looks amazing!
If we get the house that we're looking at, there are a lot of things I'd like to change, removing some trees included. The kitchen is also super outdated. Have you ever read the blog younghouselove.com? it's full of DIY home improvement stuff.
I love the pizza. Yum.
we are getting ready to paint the outside of our house... actually similar colors to your house. tan with black trim and maybe a red front door. those are beautiful trees, i love their shape.
We did the same thing at our house but did not put in replacement trees. I will send you some before and after pix.
I am dying to have someone come out to my house and remove my freaking loud arse neighbors. Other than that, I'm good. LOL
;-) Pizza looks NOM NOM!!
I love all of your pizza recipes - they look yummy all of the time. It's made me branch out past the plain cheese pizza.
I hope the other blogs are loading for you now! I hate when that kind of stuff happens.
That pizza looks great! You always think of the best flavor combos for those things...yum! Your house is so gorgeous in the snow, by the way! Have a great weekend :)
I have no decorating or landscaping sense - I would probably leave the trees - but I agree skinnier trees would look prettier.
Beautiful house BTW!
And any type of pizza is fine with me - love the addition of balsamic too!
Your house is so beautiful!!!! I agree on the trees though.
The pizza looks fab! I'm going to print out the recipe. Thanks!
