I must admit that I'm a fan of Taylor Momsen. I don't always approve of her actions but I do admire that fact that she is only 16 years old and doing what she loves. She is the lead singer in The Pretty Reckless and is Jenny Humphrey on Gossip Girl. She might wear some scandalous outfits and way too much eye liner but she dances to her own beat.

Avocado-Lime Whip Fruit Medley Pizza in a Sugar Cinnamon Crust



Pizza Dough1 cup white bread flour (all purpose probably works too) + ¾ cup flour, divided
¾ tsp kosher salt
1.5 tsp white sugar
2 tsp pizza herbs (mixture of dried oregano, basil
2 & ¼ tsp pizza yeast (no proofing req) or instant yeast
3 tbsp oil
2/3 cup very warm water (not lukewarm)
More flour for surface when kneading 

Avocado-Lime Whip
4 avocados
fresh lime juice from half a lime (approx 1 tsp)
1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste or 1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup agave nectar
2-3 tbsp coconut oil, melted
1-2 tbsp coconut milk
12 tbsp icing sugar (confectioner's)

Directions
In a food processor, add in the avocado, lime juice, and agave. Process until smooth. Now add in the vanilla, melted coconut oil, and coconut milk. As the last step, add in the icing sugar very gradually until the consistency you want is achieved. Cool in fridge for about 30 minutes before using. Spread over the base of cooled & cooked pizza crust.

Fruit Medley
Fruit salsa: Chop up a mixture of strawberries, mandarin oranges, mango, kiwi, and raspberries. Add in blueberries too. You will want about 2-3 cups of the salsa.
Fruit layer: Mandarin, strawberries (sliced), blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, kiwi (sliced), mango (sliced), and whatever else your little heart desires! Peach would be good too.

Directions
After you have spread on the avocado-lime whip, it is time to layer on the fruit. I started with an outer layer of fruit salsa, followed by a layer of sliced fruit. After those two layers, I did a very small layer of sprinkled coconut, followed by a layer of raspberries, and then finally fruit salsa. I left the inner circle open as I was going to put a large strawberry there, but then we ate it and that was that.

One night President Obama and his wife Michelle decided to do something out of routine and go for a casual dinner at a restaurant that wasn’t too luxurious.  When they were seated, the owner of the restaurant asked the president’s secret service if he could please speak to the First Lady in private. They obliged and Michelle had a conversation with the owner.  Following this conversation President Obama asked Michelle, “Why was he so interested in talking to you.” She mentioned that in her teenage years, he had been madly in love with her. President Obama then said, “So if you had married him, you would now be the owner of this lovely restaurant,” to which Michelle responded, “No. If I had married him, he would now be the President.”

Interview 20 Susan Hahn
via email February 3rd


If you could live abroad for 1 year, where would you like to live? Hmmm. Australia? If I had a 1994 Range Rover to explore the island. Get my Hillsong on, my surf on. Yes Australia it is.
What is something you have always wanted to do but you keep putting it off? Spend time with old people.
What would you say is your greatest strength? Destroying boredom.
Do you have any hidden Talents? Well… the few talents I have I try to display frequently, but one that does not come out a whole lot is drawing. I could draw for hours.
What goals have you already accomplished in your life? Made snowboarding my life for a season, then decided to try and grow up a little and just graduated from ORU.
If they were to make a movie about your life, who would play you? AAA! How do you not sound conceited answering this…? Well let’s say Kate Hudson she is a wild little thing, who seems to love the beach, adventure and Matthew Mcughnehey, so we have a winner.
What seems to always take up your free time? Free time? Well friends.
What is your favorite thing about the Holidays? Snowboarding… and people are a little nicer; everyone seems to have something in common around that time of year.
Describe your perfect day. OK! Wake up really early in a cabin in the mountains, hop in my Range to drive to Starbucks, spend some serious time with the Lord. Then the sun comes out and it’s off to the beach to surf for a few hours by myself. Then grab lunch at a Thai restaurant while sipping on my Thai iced tea, there is a guy next to me who needs healing, lay hands on him God heals him miraculously the whole restaurant come to Jesus, mini-revival right there. Then off to get ready to meet up with some friends… new outfit all dressed up with somewhere to go! Concert probably Jack Johnson would be chill… ok what if Jack Johnson and Cory Asbury joined forces. Yes this is my day, somehow that happens. The whole thing turns into a worship fiesta, we get backstage passes and hang with the band for a while then, back home to my secret cabin in the woods. Why not!
Describe the word "adventure" in your own words. Whatever it is that gets you to that point where you adrenaline is pumping, you count the cost and decide whatever I am going for it. For me, dropping in some sketchy bowl that is just one grade steeper then I am comfortable with, shaking while I look over the ledge, then going for it, get at least a few solid turns, then being so happy I did. In Tulsa, I am happy going somewhere very public and pulling of some crazy improv scenario with a big group of my friends and watching everyone flip out, then going back and telling them it was a joke to include them and see what they thought. That is also my kind of adventure.
What is your best feature? I like my hands. Is that weird? I think they are feminine and cute.
What is the last book you read? Everyone tells me to read Redeeming Love all the time, I tried I can’t handle it. I’m sorry it’s so cheesy. I know the Lord is crazy about me, but that book is just too much. I’ll watch the movie, unless the Fireproof people make it, then it will be worse then the book. I was reading through Joshua the other day and was freaking out. Some really good stuff in there.
What is your signature drink at Starbucks? Iced Grande Non-Fat Chai w/ whip --- in that order.
What is something you are out to accomplish in 2011? Have God tell me secrets because we are so close.
If you could go back to a day in History what day would you go back to & why? Real Answer – Garden of Gethsemane I want to ask Jesus a few questions
that day. Fun Answer- I wanna go back to the 50’s with an IPhone and blow everyone’s mind.
What are you top 5 favorite movies? (They don't have to be in order) Well… most of these movies I have not seen since I was saved so I am not endorsing them because they are probably horrifying but I think they are funny still. Raising Arizona, Overboard, Sweet Home Alabama, Gladiator, & Mean Girls.

This is how I spend my summers {via}
