Sharing the Wealth of RECIPE

I stumbled across a KFC channel which gave you access through their Facebook fan page to download The Colonels Recipe Book! Hot biscuits, cobblers, and more all available to you for free!!!

Semi-Homemade Pecan Cinnamon Rolls

This past weekend, I was craving some gooey cinnamon rolls. Cinnabon was closed and I needed to satisfy this sweet tooth PRONTO! So, I went to a local grocery store grabbed some canned cinnamon rolls and pecans. When I made it home, it was close to midnight, but the time didn't stop me! Here's the ingredients to the awesomely amazing semi-homemade pecan cinnamon rolls:

1 can of cinnamon rolls

1 package of pecans pieces

1/2 stick of butter (melted)

1/2 cup of light brown sugar

...that's it! Literally!!

 I preheated the oven to 350 while I prepared the sauce. I stir the brown sugar with the melted butter to create a sauce ad spread it on the bottom of a oven safe pan. Then I sprinkled the pecan pieces on the sauce mixture. Then I  pop open the can of cinnamon rolls and laid them on top of the concoction of sauce and pecans. I let it bake for 15 minutes and cooled it for about 5 minutes. Than I used a plate to flip the rolls onto it and served warm. It was truly a mouth-watering treat! You can serve this dessert as is or with a scoop of french vanilla ice cream!

Mommy News: Mr. Rogers Neighborhood may return

If you are like me, you remember Mister Rogers Neighborhood! I loved to watch the show every morning. Fred Rogers, Presbyterian minister turned television host brought education in a new setting with colorful characters and stories for over 30 years. Well, the television show will continue after nearly a decade of its last episode, but in a new and tech-savvy way.
Meet Daniel Tiger...your new Mister Rogers

He may look a little different....animated animal with no pants! LOL But his focus is the same.

Will you tune in with your child to watch the re-vamped Mister Rogers Neighborhood??

MOM FAILS....because we all had them!

Randomly, I will post my favorite failures... I know you're thinking, "What on Earth is the matter with this lady!??" Well, we all post our accomplishments, wanting accolades and pats on our backs, but what about those random failures that mold us to become better women, wives, and mothers?

MOM FAIL #2134
We all that moment during the month where  attempt to eat everything in the refrigerator to clean and bring in new food. Well, this week was my week! This morning, I cooked the last of the sausage and eggs. I had tortillas, shredded cheese, and taco sauce...oh, and Malt-O-Meal...so I "attempted" to make breakfast tacos. Assuming it would be a huge hit with my kids, I served it. The looks I received was unbelievable, the comments were worse!! LOL
My oldest exclaims, "Mom, this looks bad, but I'll eat the eggs." Then she goes on to say, "Everything is nasty, except the juice. I'll drink the juice!" I laughed! Then my second oldest says, "We need to go to Walmart to get more food. I don't like this."
Now you would think all that was said was offensive, but it did not top what my son did! Now, he would eat anything, unless he really hates it. He'll eat my food all day, but not today, he picked over EVERYTHING! SMH.. This refrigerator day was a complete failure, but I got a great laugh out of it!! LOL


More to come!!

Dating my husband: Bringing Blissful Moments Back

I am learning to take time out for my husband. With the hustle and bustle of family life and education, he is always the last on my list. Whether men want to believe or not and thankfully, my husband has admitted that he needs attention. Not does he need the attention, but so do you! I can remember complaining about not having enough adult conversation and company. Everyday I am at home with a group of toddlers, it is normal to want to get away a few hours.

Children changes a marriage. Before children came into the picture, date night was EVERY night! As our family changed so did our chance of having alone time. Everyone can attest that the first year or so in a marriage is the most testing and exciting ride of our lives, but how do we continue with the stresses of life bogging us down?

We found ways to spend time with each other. Sometimes, I may work with my husband for the day. This gives us time to catch up with each other and may even learn something new! Other times, we may take a walk or just find a babysitter and go out. We don't spend a ton of money to enjoy each other company, but when we do, we go all out! Those few hours definitely make a difference.

With our wedding anniversary approaching, we will do things a little differently. We will attempt a weekend getaway...no kids...no work just my husband and I. We both deserve some relaxation and conversation.

What is your ideal date night?
