{May Has Arrived}

  I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts.  We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield.  We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord.  I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it.  Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...

{Mini Chocolate Pies} Good Grief-Somebody just slap me!


Well I promised in my last post that I would give you a simple, easy, mini chocolate pie recipe so here it is.....


Recipe:

1 egg
Splash of water
1 box of Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust softened as directed on package
1 box instant chocolate pudding mix
Sugar

1: Preheat oven to 350. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.


2, Make egg wash by beating egg with just a splash of water till well blended. Set aside.


3. Mix pudding according to directions on package and place in the frig. to set for just a bit.




4. Unroll pie crust.


 5. I don't know what size my cookie cutter was but whatever size that you want to use would be fine. The bigger the cookie cutter the bigger the pie! LOL! 


6. I cut out two crusts for each pie. Then with a teaspoon I put pudding on one pie crust. Then I placed the other piece of pie crust on top. 

 Doesn't matter if the pudding oozes out just a little. (but not a lot)

7: Brush egg wash on the top and sprinkle with sugar



And pop in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Cool before serving. I think I had around 12 of these little pies with pudding left using this size cookie cutter.



Mercy, have mercy! These little things are tasty.
It's just all in a days work girls! 


You can also use other flavors of pudding. Lemon Curd would be good as well. 

And what did I do with the left over pudding????

 Topped those cuties with some graham cracker crumbs and an Oreo and well....need I say more????

BUT THEN...I decided to get on a baking kick and whipped up some strawberry cookies. Needless to say a sweet friend was a recipient of a "SWEET" treat. 


 And I must give a shout out for our birthday girl Kyleigh. She is 5 years old now and she is full of Class and Sass and we wouldn't have it any other way!

Her first birthday:



Her 5th:





God is good and He is good all the time!!!


I love to go to a great party so I am partying with Jann today over at

    You know whats funny is last week I saw these chocolate pies and anticipated a big long recipe and here your post is making it look so simple! I'm thinking how that roll out pie crust can store in the fridge for a long time and how easy this recipe can be whipped up in a jiffy if I keep a few boxes of pudding on hand in the cabinet! Thank you. Hugs and blessings!

      LOL! These little sweets was so stinking easy to make and not time consuming at all. Recently I've made several from scratch cakes that seemed to take me all day and lot of money so decided I needed to do something simple and cheap! And...they are good for a quick little simple dessert.

Hiding the Ugly Hot Water Heater

 I shared that I wanted to hide my ugly hot water heater in my laundry room with you a few weeks ago. It just stuck out like a sore thumb. But after all it is a hot water heater right? So my man took a piece of wood (not real wood) but it worked and built a frame for me. So now to see if it would fit and it did. I painted it white and did not like the texture it had even after two coats of white. (rule of thumb...you get what you pay for and the wood was cheap) But I wasn't going to let it whip me!  Found some contact paper at Walmart in the gray and white. Covered the front with the contact paper and loved the look. The top was covered with a piece of painted wood as well and worked perfect to place this on top... And this.... Added a clothes basket in the corner and here was the top.... Yep, no longer an eye sore to me! Went perfect with my gray walls and gray and white floor. Remember the wood tray I bought at a...

{March Is Underway}

  Welcome to March! The little grands and I kicked off March with a sleepover at Nana's house. They are so much fun and so energetic. COFFEE has earned my love forever for sure! LOL!  We started out with a sack lunch from Burger King (their favorite) and headed to a cute little park that is only about 2 miles from where I live. The girls has so much fun. The girls put in for Nana to ride the horsey. Well, y'all know I had to show those littles that Nana still can do that!!! Two of the girls wanted to play with the old Halloween wigs but the youngest one opted out. She said it made her head itch. LOL!  We had a tea party for breakfast. Our tea party consisted of smoked sausage, peaches and chocolate chip cookies. Yummy to my tummy the youngest one said! I finally got around to making myself a healthy fruity Icee. I made the girls snow cones out of the same healthy fruits. Guess I needed too so they wouldn't be so hyped up from all the cookies when returning home. Hee-hee!...

{SON-Flowers}

Don't you just love sunflowers? When I think about sunflowers I think of two things. My motherinlove who loved sunflowers and Fall. I came across a devotional written by Julia Bettencourt on sunflowers and thought it so appropriate for today as I wanted to share my sunflowers with you. Here's a few lessons we can learn from the sunflower.    Sunflowers Track The Sun.   Most plants are attracted to light but the flowering head of the sunflower actually tracks the sun following it's path and moving toward where it is in the sky all during the day. I read somewhere that sunflowers track the sun when they are in bud stage. Isn't that how it usually goes for us as Christians? When we first come to know the Lord, we get excited about knowing all about Him and living for Him, but after awhile we sometimes grow a little preoccupied with other things and get our eyes off of the Lord.   Wouldn't it be great if as a Christian we'd track th...
