Hello! Welcome to Keeping Up with the Joneses. Thanks for stopping by! We're a young couple living in the East Arkansas/Memphis area otherwise known as The Delta, with a love for family, friends, faith and food.

We believe that some of the best memories are created at home around the dinner table, and when entertaining those you love. This little blog is where I share recipes, wine, our home and our life. Enjoy! -Kendall

What You'll Find:

I love to try new recipes. In fact, I rarely make the same thing twice. I'm a bona-fide cookbook collector, Pinterest addict and magazine aficionado. On the blog, you'll see what I've got cooking.

I love wine, y'all, so from time to time I feature bottles I've loved. Crafts and decorating our little house are passions of mine, so you may see some of that. Thanks for stopping by!

Raspberry-Chipotle Barbecue Chicken Pizza

Mmm, our dinner tonight was yummy! I found a recipe in one of those small recipe booklets you find in the checkout line at the grocery store. It's from Pillsbury, and was really simple!

1 (13.8 oz) can of refrigerated classic pizza crust
1/4 cup red raspberry preserves
1/4 cup hickory smoke-flavored barbecue sauce (or whatever you have)

1/2 medium red onion, cut into thin strips
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 chopped fresh cilantro

Preheat the oven to 425

In a small bowl, mix together the red raspberry preserves:

{Chop up the chipotles and add them, too. I didn't get a good picture of this step!}

Mix together with a spatula:

It's ready to go in the oven now! 425 for 12-20 minutes. For me, it was ready at 15.

Top now with the chopped cilantro

YUM!!!! It definitely has a kick with those chipotles, but we loved it! You could easily leave that out if you're not a fan of any heat.

I served it along with a salad of greens, red onions, mandarin oranges, glazed walnuts and Craisins. I'll be making this meal again!


PS- My sweet friend Joanna is here with us tonight and tomorrow; she's in town for work. I love it when she visits!! We're watching American Idol right now, and plan to get our nails done tomorrow. Happy Tuesday!
