Wine Glasses SAVED!

Maternity leave has given me a lot of time at home...so, I needed some projects to keep me busy while Lily naps. I tried my hand at glass etching...and FAILED miserably! Glass etching seems like one of the easy projects to tackle...but it was not for me.

Instead of tossing the two wine glasses that I wrecked, I tried to think of a way to save them. I had some chalkboard paint left over from my herb markers, so I put a touch over my mishap and BAM! Chalkboard Wine Glasses! A true trash to treasure story!

These would be perfect for a shabby chic themed luncheon or a large cocktail party where glasses could get mixed up easily. I love it!

Mellow Mushroom

Whenever my mother comes to town she always wants to visit Mellow Mushroom...or, as she calls it, The Merry Merry Mushroom.

So, last week we headed that way to appease my mother and check out their veggie pizza for our Local Pizza Challenge!

We started off with their Spinach and Artichoke Dip. This isn't part of the challenge but I just had to share. It was so tasty and will be my go-to appetizer each time I visit!

Now, back to business...

Taste

Rachel- 4 slices

We ordered the Mega Veggie Pizza and the name says it all!

This pizza has sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, green peppers, mushrooms, black olives, onions, Roma tomatoes, broccoli, banana peppers and tofu with mozzarella and feta cheese wrapped in tasty red sauce. That's right...this vegetarian pizza isn't for the faint of heart!

The crust is fan-freakin'-tastic! My only complaint is that the crust isn't quite thick enough to support all the veggies...so it can get pretty messy.

My mom ordered a small pizza with sausage and said it was tasty but a little greasy...

Affordability

Rachel- 4 slices

The 14 inch medium pizza was enough for Chris and I to enjoy...twice. We had plenty for lunch the next day...so for under $20, I can't complain!

Atmosphere

Rachel- 4 slices

We should have done a little research before heading there on a Wednesday night. It was trivia night and it got pretty loud. Awesome if you are participating but distracting if you aren't. Other than that, it was clean and the service was excellent. Plus, you can't beat the fun and funky decor!

Also, the music was right up my ally! While I was chomping on my pizza, I was rocking out to Backstreet Boys and Ice, Ice Baby...love it!
