See you there!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00775787810047875107noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668579084056422575.post-48374338820680856472014-08-11T10:35:00.000-04:002014-08-11T10:58:57.557-04:00Peanut Butter Brownie Pizza<span style="font-size: large;">Hey Y'all and happy Monday to ya! Hope you had an amazing weekend! There's been some big changes around here! First, I changed the name of my blog!!! I was super nervous to do it, but seeing as my blog started off as a way to show people how to organize and is now solely devoted to all things food, I figured the change was necessary. So I am formally known as Organizer By Day, but now go by Chocolate and Crockpots. And I changed my layout. Feel like it's a little cleaner looking than before. I like it!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Well around here we've been having a wonderful summer and even though I'm sad to see it go I'm totally looking forward to Fall. Growing up I was obsessed with summer, but at my current age my new favorite is this coming time of year. That time when it's still warm enough outside at night where you only need a light jacket and comfy jeans and can get away with just a t shirt during the day. The leaves are about to turn their beautiful colors and I swear the air smells like bonfires and cinnamon. It's awesome. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But until then, I will keep enjoying my warm days and long nights. A couple nights ago we went to the Indiana State Fair and had a blast. They had a donut burger! Yes, you heard right. A donut burger. Picture a burger but instead of a bun...there's two donuts! I didn't try it, but one of the people we were with did. He didn't have too many great things to say :) </span><br />

(the proof...yuck)</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I played some kind of BB gun shooting game, too. I'm not the biggest fan of fire arms, but this game was pretty harmless. To win you had to shoot out the entire red star. I almost won...almost! There was barely any of the star left, but that's how they get ya :)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">At a game night recently I wanted to make something new...even though I made it with chocolate and peanut butter. If you know me, you know I've had this crazy obsession of making all things with <a href="http://chocolateandcrockpots.blogspot.com/2014/04/chocolate-peanut-butter-rice-crispy-cake.html" target="_blank">chocolate</a> and <a href="http://chocolateandcrockpots.blogspot.com/2014/06/brown-butter-chocolate-chip-peanut.html" target="_blank">peanut butter</a> lately. I thought there's no way I have more combination possibilities, but oh was I wrong!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I pulled out some pans and got inspired looking at my 9inch round. I decided I would make a pizza-like <a href="http://chocolateandcrockpots.blogspot.com/2013/11/salted-peanut-butter-brownie-cookies.html" target="_blank">brownie</a>, and immediately followed that with wanting to put <a href="http://chocolateandcrockpots.blogspot.com/2013/11/peanut-butter-kisses.html" target="_blank">peanut butter</a> on it. So I combined my <a href="http://chocolateandcrockpots.blogspot.com/2014/05/copycat-brownie-bites.html" target="_blank">brownie bites</a> with my <a href="http://chocolateandcrockpots.blogspot.com/2014/07/vanilla-cupcakes-with-peanut-butter.html" target="_blank">peanut butter frosting</a> and voila!! Peanut Butter Brownie Pizza!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Caution: This pie is rich! I honestly didn't mean to make it as sweet as it was, but I really didn't mind. I'd say if you aren't the biggest fan of super sweet stuff, half the peanut butter frosting recipe. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH5pc5Okmr_w1P4YE2t3hwLdkTqnMMvQwT1Ke6lVADjsa-oJOArrM_Jko32oQ3pJmiQKDKtcBTa0iv5f94zPwSNZT4Y8nIhlrGpgom31sROUXuiAdCWOq4-YJOR94u3hHhf-cn-3qQ3rs/s1600/peanut+butter+pizza.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH5pc5Okmr_w1P4YE2t3hwLdkTqnMMvQwT1Ke6lVADjsa-oJOArrM_Jko32oQ3pJmiQKDKtcBTa0iv5f94zPwSNZT4Y8nIhlrGpgom31sROUXuiAdCWOq4-YJOR94u3hHhf-cn-3qQ3rs/s1600/peanut+butter+pizza.jpg" height="472" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Or make it all and just knock off what you don't want! This may be pretty far off from your ordinary pizza, but it is absolutely delicious! Sometimes it pays off to think outside the box...or in this case brownie pan. :)</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #fafefd; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Directions:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fafefd; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 inch round pan. Set aside.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fafefd; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: #fafefd; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;"></span><span style="background-color: #fafefd; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">In a large bowl, combine the sugar and butter. Stir in the water, then the egg until fully mixed together. Add the vanilla.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fafefd; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: #fafefd; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;"></span><span style="background-color: #fafefd; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">In a medium bowl combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Stir this into the wet ingredients until there are hardly any clumps left.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fafefd; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fafefd; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 16-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the middle comes out clean. Allow to cool a little on a cooling rack.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fafefd; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fafefd; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">For the Frosting:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fafefd; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Beat together the butter and peanut butter in a mixer. Add in the sugar until completely mixed together.</span><br />

You might not need all the milk, so make sure to stop as soon as it's all combined and easy to work with.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fafefd; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fafefd; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Crank the mixer up to high and beat for about three minutes. Spread the peanut butter mix on top of the slightly cooled brownies. Top with melted chocolate and chocolate chips.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fafefd; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #fafefd; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Don't have a mixer? Amazon is a great place to find one!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">So do you have any advice on things I need to do that I might not know to do when changing the name of a blog? Do you like the new name?!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What's your favorite time of year? Do you fall in love with fall every year like me? Or are you more of a spring/summertime person? Hope you have had an amazing summer full of wonderful memories. I'll be doing a post soon to show you all the happenings around here from the past few months. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for stopping by!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00775787810047875107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668579084056422575.post-4732820804554219732014-07-21T18:54:00.005-04:002014-07-21T18:54:58.092-04:00Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes<span style="font-size: large;">Hey All and Happy Monday to you! Hope the beginning of your week started off great. Coming up this weekend I have a huge family vacation planned in Kentucky! I am so so excited to be able to spend time with my whole family in the great outdoors. I'm sure I'll have plenty of crazy stories when I get back, too. Nothing is ordinary when we all are together, and that's how I like it!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So recently my bestie had a birthday and all she wanted was for me to make her some kind of lemon cake. She loves lemon. And she loves blueberries. So I thought "Why not put them together?"! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I haven't tried to master making a layered cake with pretty icing all over it just yet. It's on my list of things to try soon. But, I have mastered the heck out of making cupcakes! So I decided to take a lemon blueberry cake and turn it into cupcakes. That's why I made these Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS4CJjKGcfhCRW-mEThyRN4VVmgYd9cHDnFP9bWJ8FzdVOWLRYFr4ES4ymyemoWHKl1OHcB8Fjb59yilTYMCTNLZWKVyYkg8QUdgihHlcAAoWA9j2eCHBSCGRYU3zDiASfJkNgeDLhevQ/s1600/lemon+cupcakes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS4CJjKGcfhCRW-mEThyRN4VVmgYd9cHDnFP9bWJ8FzdVOWLRYFr4ES4ymyemoWHKl1OHcB8Fjb59yilTYMCTNLZWKVyYkg8QUdgihHlcAAoWA9j2eCHBSCGRYU3zDiASfJkNgeDLhevQ/s1600/lemon+cupcakes.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">They are so moist and so delicious! The tartness of the lemon mixed with the sweetness of the blueberries made for an amazing flavor. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Then to add the cream cheese frosting on top was literally the icing on the cake ;) See what I did there? I'm hilarious!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">2 Large eggs</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 Tbsp vanilla</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 1/2 Cups flour</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 Tbsp baking powder</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 tsp salt</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 Cup buttermilk*</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Lemon zest and lemon juice from 2 lemons</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 Cup blueberries</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 Tbsp flour</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Frosting:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4 ounces cream cheese, softened</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 Cup butter, softened</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 3/4 Cup powdered sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 Tbsp milk</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 tsp vanilla</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Directions:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cupcake pan with liners. Set aside.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In a mixer beat together the butter and sugars on medium high until creamy, about 3 minutes. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Add in the eggs and vanilla. Beat everything until combined. Scrape down the bowl as needed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet on a slow speed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Add the milk, lemon zest and juice and stir with a spoon by hand until just mixed in.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In a small bowl, stir together the blueberries and flour. This will help the berries not sink down to the bottom of all the cupcakes and prevent them from breaking open. Fold the berries into the batter.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Spoon the batter into the cupcake holders and bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For Frosting:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In your mixer beat the cream cheese and butter until creamy and no lumps remain.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Add powdered sugar, milk and vanilla. Stir on low for about one minute, then up the speed for a few minutes until fully combined. Scrape down the bowl as you go if needed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Scoop frosting into a piping bag and decorate the cupcakes. Place cupcakes in the fridge for about an hour before serving. Eat and enjoy! Delicious!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">*If you don't have buttermilk, you can combine 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice (or 1/2 Tbsp of white vinegar) and about 1/2 a cup of milk (1% or higher). Pour the 1/2 Tbsp of lemon juice into a measuring cup. Add the milk until it reaches 1/2 a cup. Let it sit for at least 5 minutes before using.</span><br />

Happy Monday! Throughout the summer my posts will be less often due to the fact that I am outside loving life and soaking up as much sunshine as I possibly can before the dreaded Indiana winter comes again. Please stay away as long as possible snow! I don't want any.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Recently my little sister turned 25. Yay!! The last birthday you have that's actually exciting until you hit 30...or so I've heard. For me, all my mid and late 20's have not been something I've looked forward to. But my sister graciously walked into 25 with her head held high and her face stuffed with these amazing Vanilla Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting I made her for her birthday!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It just so happened her birthday was on game night (Wednesdays) and she got to decide the menu. This has always been a tradition in our big family that we've done our whole lives. She wanted hamburgers, hot dogs, <a href="http://organizerbyday.blogspot.com/2014/04/perfect-pasta-salad.html" target="_blank">pasta salad</a>, and any kind of dessert that had chocolate and peanut butter.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Since Reese cups are her favorite I knew I had to fill these sweet little cakes with them. I decided to do big and mini ones. So for the big ones I made they had a whole cup and for the minis they had half a cup. Perfect!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">She absolutely loved them!! They're super moist and packed with tons of flavor!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Cupcakes</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 1/2 sticks butter, softened</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 1/2 Cups sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 eggs</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3 tsp vanilla</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 1/2 Cups flour</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 1/2 tsp baking powder</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 tsp salt</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 1/4 Cup milk</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">12 mini Reese cups</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Chocolate chips</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Frosting</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 Cup butter, softened</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 Cup peanut butter</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 Cup powdered sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3 Tbsp milk</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Directions:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a cupcake pan with cake liners.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Whip the butter on medium speed until almost smooth.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Pour in the sugar and beat well.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Add in the eggs and vanilla and stir until fully combined.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In a medium bowl mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Alternately stir in the milk and dry ingredients until everything is mixed. So stir in a little milk, then a little of the dry stuff, then milk, then dry, so on and so on until it's all mixed in.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Pour the batter into the cupcake liners until about 1/3 full. Place a Reese cup on the batter and top with more batter until completely covered.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the middle should come out clean.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Let them cool on a baking sheet before you frost them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For the frosting:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Beat together the butter and peanut butter. Add in the sugar until completely mixed together.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Add in a tablespoon of milk one at a time until the frosting is nice and thick. You might not need all the milk, so make sure to stop as soon as it's all combined and easy to work with.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Shove the frosting in a piping bag and swirl on top of the cooled cupcakes. Toss on some chocolate chips and serve!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So what have you been up to this summer?! I'd love to hear your fun ideas.</span><br />

Yesterday my sister and I went up north to see my grandparents and had an amazing time! It seems time is just flying by so I made sure to embrace every minute I was with them. They are wonderful people and I'm so lucky to be 29 and still have both of them. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So like I mentioned the other day, my sister and I recently went strawberry picking at a local farm. It's an annual event and my nephews at that age where he really gets into it and loves finding the biggest berry! It's adorable and melts my heart watching his face light up. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">One thing we usually make with our berries is homemade jam, which I will share that recipe soon I'm sure. Another recipe I love to make is Strawberry Shortcake!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKa0RjLYLXOwR3ixHQv5BhkOPUr6Itl94do0Ks-A37tqZkJsDn4hQy9-eM314hJ7aRISo76hmDmhbwNDH_SJVs7m0YGL_n6moJ_8uhnaLF7xy2WJWu3SOs48KrSC2zIlV-PmgS50U_x6s/s1600/strawberry+shortcake+recipe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKa0RjLYLXOwR3ixHQv5BhkOPUr6Itl94do0Ks-A37tqZkJsDn4hQy9-eM314hJ7aRISo76hmDmhbwNDH_SJVs7m0YGL_n6moJ_8uhnaLF7xy2WJWu3SOs48KrSC2zIlV-PmgS50U_x6s/s1600/strawberry+shortcake+recipe.jpg" height="406" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">But this isn't your typical Strawberry Shortcake. It's not super crumbly and like a scone. It's more like a cupcake texture but with all the shortcake taste. I personally like mine this way, and that's why I love these little shortcakes!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">And the fact that I was using fresh picked strawberries put these over the top! I'm just in love with how vibrant the colors are!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">These cakes are already pretty moist, but to top them with juicy sugary strawberries makes these little babies ah.ma.zing!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/3 Cup butter, softened</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 Cup sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 egg</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 tsp vanilla</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 Cups flour</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 1/2 tsp baking powder</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 tsp salt</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 Cup milk</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1 1/2-2 Cups strawberries, hulled and sliced up</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 Cup sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Directions:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Stir together the cut up strawberries and sugar in a bowl and place in the refrigerator.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease your muffin pan or a 9 inch round pan.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Combine butter and sugar in a mixer. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Add in the egg and vanilla until combined.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In a medium bowl mix together the flour, baking powder and salt.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Alternately add in the dry ingredients and milk until both are completely added. Don't over mix though. As soon as the ingredients are all added in, stop mixing. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Allow to cool on the baking rack. Before you remove the cakes, run a knife along the edge to make for easier removal.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Top the cakes with the strawberry-sugar mix and dive in. Feel free to add a huge amount of whipped cream and/or vanilla ice cream to your plate!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So are you a crumbly scone type person, or more of a cakey shortcake lover? Hope your summer is going great!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for stopping by!</span><br />

I hope everyone is having a great week so far. My sister and I just got back from strawberry picking. It's an annual tradition with us and we had a blast! I'm already dreaming up all the wonderful things I can make with my freshly picked berries.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Before I do that though, I wanted to share with you the amazing cookies I made for our family get together this past weekend. Surprise Surprise they're a mixture of <a href="http://organizerbyday.blogspot.com/2014/05/copycat-brownie-bites.html" target="_blank">chocolate</a> and <a href="http://organizerbyday.blogspot.com/2014/06/peanut-butter-cheesecake.html" target="_blank">peanut butter</a> :) My favorite! This time I wanted to use brown butter, to give these a real WOW factor. Mission accomplished. Say hello to my amazing <a href="http://organizerbyday.blogspot.com/2013/11/kick-off-to-football-week.html" target="_blank">Brown Butter</a> Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">3/4 Cup peanut butter</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 Cup white sugar</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 Cup brown sugar</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 Cup <a href="http://organizerbyday.blogspot.com/2013/11/kick-off-to-football-week.html" target="_blank">brown butter</a> (start off with 10 Tbsp butter)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">1 egg, room temperature</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">1 Tbsp vanilla</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">1 1/2 Cups flour</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">1 graham cracker, crushed</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">1 tsp cinnamon</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">3/4 tsp baking soda</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 tsp baking powder</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 tsp salt</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">1 Cup chocolate chips</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">2 Reese cups, chopped up</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Directions:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Combine the peanut butter, sugars and brown butter in the mixer on high. Add in the egg and vanilla.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">In a medium bowl stir together the flour, graham cracker, cinnamon, baking powder and soda, and salt. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix on high until everything comes together. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Stir in the chocolate chips and cut up Reese's with a wooden spoon. Place the mixing bowl in the fridge for about an hour. I didn't cover mine.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, or a silpat.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Using a cookie scoop, scoop out the dough and squeeze it into a tight ball before placing on the baking sheet. Use a fork to make a crossed pattern on top. If the cookie crumbles apart during this, grab up the dough, squeeze it together more and try again.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Bake each sheet separately for 10 minutes and allow to cool on the baking sheet on a cooling rack. Remove and add salt if you want. Pour a tall glass of milk and enjoy! </span><span style="font-size: large;">Both times I made these I was able to get exactly 27 cookies. Weird, right?! </span><span style="font-size: large;">Hope you love these as much as we did!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

Hope you all had an amazing week! Things are finally back to normal around here since our long vacation. Now that I'm back in my normal routine, I've been a baking fool. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So the other day I thought I would try and be cool and make up a recipe completely from scratch that was totally awesome and different and one-of-a-kind and blah blah blah. I wanted to make S'mores cookies but kept seeing them everywhere. So I thought I'd be totally unique (not really) and make these super yum S'mores Bars all on my own. Well needless to say, I failed. Here's why. I made them straight from scratch and totally thought I was too good for flour...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Note to self: You need flour to bake! Unless it's a cheesecake, you pretty much always need flour. That is the reason these didn't turn out well at all. I thought I could substitute flour for graham crackers and all would be fabulous. To say the least, these don't come close to resembling any kind of "bar" I've ever seen.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So why am I sharing this with you if they didn't end up AT ALL like I thought they would? Because they taste absolutely amazing! They seriously are so addicting. I've had numerous people try these and they are hooked. It's one of those recipes that may not "look" good but tastes flipping delicious!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPVVcfmvsTCNdXDTlyT-WssmmMJ6rLb4v_vIR0CbgodbAkjoyTLxWmCS4p8zYG7TbwLPNk9d_RPtvj6VRWU1A6yDHHT_WMpl7AsRtLrsmY8dIQ4xVhv00FShAcTueatvbBxOq4Tvw3rNM/s1600/smores+bars.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPVVcfmvsTCNdXDTlyT-WssmmMJ6rLb4v_vIR0CbgodbAkjoyTLxWmCS4p8zYG7TbwLPNk9d_RPtvj6VRWU1A6yDHHT_WMpl7AsRtLrsmY8dIQ4xVhv00FShAcTueatvbBxOq4Tvw3rNM/s1600/smores+bars.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">All I did was start off making these with all things S'mores, added some stuff here and there, and then topped the batter off with more S'mores toppings. Baked it for a little bit and pulled out a boiling pan of gooey awesomeness.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiVUWpYXVR-JM0rpRMtWh60Ti_S71lYG6tCjIlDKxTBrAdVaoziwte2QnZgUNQyihBHVpTNBoFIxeUnF90aApGDGlDLka2iiEyF_hZ29ZeDBde01BRvtoRpLmT_QhnSGfP6OjNdkVVdVk/s1600/s%2527mores+bars.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiVUWpYXVR-JM0rpRMtWh60Ti_S71lYG6tCjIlDKxTBrAdVaoziwte2QnZgUNQyihBHVpTNBoFIxeUnF90aApGDGlDLka2iiEyF_hZ29ZeDBde01BRvtoRpLmT_QhnSGfP6OjNdkVVdVk/s1600/s%2527mores+bars.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">These had to cool for a while, but once they had the result was amazing. These aren't the type of bars you can pick up and take a big bite of, but you can definitely pick at them with your fingers, scoop up with a spoon, or even lay over some ice cream. Either way you enjoy them, they'll taste awesome! Promise! Don't judge a bar by its cover :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 Cup butter, softened</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 Cup + 1/8 cup sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 Cup + 1/8 cup packed brown sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 Cup peanut butter (just bc I love peanut butter)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 egg</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/3 Cup heavy cream</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 tsp vanilla</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 Cup graham crackers, finely crushed</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 Cup flour</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 tsp baking soda</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 tsp salt</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 1/2 Cups chocolate chips</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 Cup mini marshmallows</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2-3 graham crackers </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Directions:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 pan and set aside.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Combine the butter, sugars, and peanut butter (you can leave this out if you aren't a peanut butter fanatic like me) in your mixer. Mix until smooth. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Add in the egg, heavy cream and vanilla.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In a medium bowl combine the graham crackers, flour, baking soda and salt. If you want, you could try to add an extra cup of flour here to thicken up the bars. I didn't do it this way and therefore don't know how it will turn out, but feel free to try and let me know how it works out. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Mix together the dry ingredients with the wet. Stir in the chocolate chips.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Once combined, pour mixture into the greased pan. Using a spatula, spread the mixture around until evenly distributed across the pan.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Top with 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, the marshmallows and the graham crackers. Crumble the graham crackers in your hand as you sprinkle them around, keeping them small whole pieces.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the bars are boiling. Remove and allow to cool in the pan completely. Run a knife along the edge when they come out before they cool.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Cut into whatever size pieces you want and either eat them with a fork, your fingers, over ice cream, or heck on crackers if you want. It may look weird, but I swear on the cookbook they are truly delicious!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So please tell me you've had your own stories of crazy baking fails! I'd love for you to share them with me so I know I'm not alone :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for stopping by!</span><br />

I'm back from a long and relaxing vacation! We went to Florida and soaked up every bit of sunshine and enjoyed every wave of ocean we could. We were there for a week, but it was too short. I could've sat and listened to the ocean forever. It's just such a tranquil sound I can't get enough of. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But like all great things, the trip had to come to an end. So we headed back home and spent some time with family. My Grandpa-in-law turned 89 yesterday and we all got together to celebrate. My baby sister graduated from high school (wipes away tears) and we enjoyed congratulating her at her graduation party. And we got to visit some good friends, and I got to go to our local water park. All in all it was a great two weeks!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the friends we spent time with was my best friend (or bestie as we call each other) Kyra! She is an awesome woman who I am so lucky to have in my life. She's just one of those friends who gets my weird, dry, goofy, off-the-wall humor and I love her so much for it. Our list of inside jokes is dangerously long :) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For my recent birthday she bought me a Springform cheesecake pan because A) she knows how much I love to bake and B) she loves cheesecake and secretly hoped I would make her one. Well wish granted! Since I love her so much I decided to make her a scrumptious Peanut Butter Cheesecake!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">First I baked a homemade crust made out of vanilla wafers. I had used them in <a href="http://organizerbyday.blogspot.com/2014/03/strawberry-lemon-squares.html" target="_blank">a recipe a while back</a> and wanted to use them up before they got stale. The vanilla mixed with the cinnamon and the butter made the cheesecake have an amazing sweet crunch! I definitely recommend using vanilla wafers at least once in your life for your cheesecake. You won't regret it!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Then I added my cream cheese/peanut butter filling and topped it with pieces of my peanut butter concoction I used in <a href="http://organizerbyday.blogspot.com/2014/05/copycat-brownie-bites.html" target="_blank">these brownies</a>. It was the perfect addition to my cake!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">And of course I had to add some chocolate...because what goes better with peanut butter than chocolate?!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">1 tsp cinnamon</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">CHEESECAKE:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 8oz packages cream cheese, softened</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 Cup peanut butter (if you aren't a </span><i style="font-size: x-large;">huge</i><span style="font-size: large;"> PB fan, use 1/2 cup)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3/4 Cup sugar</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">1 egg</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 Cup flour</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800;">1/4 Cup peanut butter</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800;">1 tsp butter, softened</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800;">2 1/2 Tbsp powdered sugar</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800;">2 1/2 Tbsp light brown sugar</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800;">1/2 tsp vanilla</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800;">Directions:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800;">CRUST:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800;">Preheat oven to 375 degrees.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #4e2800;">Combine all crust ingredients in a medium bowl. Stir until everything is combined. Press into a Springform pan or pie pan with your fingers or using the back of a spoon.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Bake for 7 minutes. Remove and allow to cool while you make the cake part. Reduce oven temp to 350 degrees, also.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">CHEESECAKE:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Combine the cream cheese, peanut butter, sugar and eggs by hand in a large bowl. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Add in the flour and stir until combined. Then stir in the vanilla. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Add the heavy cream and whip for about a minute, or until there are no more clumps and the batter is smooth. Pour over the crust.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">PEANUT BUTTER:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Combine all the ingredients together. Cut into small pieces and place them on top of the cream cheese batter. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. Remove and allow the pan to cool before placing it in the fridge. Refrigerate overnight or for at least 4 hours.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Remove the cake and run a knife along the edge, release the Springform pan and VOILA! Awesome cheesecake!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I want to say thank you to my bestie Kyra for the amazing gift and I hope you all enjoy this cake as much as we did! Here's a link to a Springform pan if you need one!</span><br />

Yay the weekend is finally upon us! Hopefully this Midwest cold snap will be over soon so I can get back outside. In the meantime, I guess I'll stay inside and bake.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">So, the other day, yet again my <a href="http://organizerbyday.blogspot.com/2014/04/chocolate-peanut-butter-rice-crispy-cake.html" target="_blank">weird obsession</a> with all things </span><a href="http://organizerbyday.blogspot.com/2014/04/chocolate-peanut-butter-rice-crispy-cake.html" style="font-size: x-large;" target="_blank">chocolate</a><span style="font-size: large;"> and </span><a href="http://organizerbyday.blogspot.com/2013/12/chocolate-peanut-butter-pretzel-bites.html" style="font-size: x-large;" target="_blank">peanut butter</a><span style="font-size: large;"> hit me. But I was </span><i style="font-size: x-large;">again</i><span style="font-size: large;"> stuck with the question of what to make to satisfy the craving?! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As weird as it sounds, I had seen a package of <a href="http://organizerbyday.blogspot.com/2014/01/homemade-fudge-brownies-with-cream.html" target="_blank">brownie</a> bites at a gas station and couldn't get them out of my head. Since I <strike>was being lazy</strike> didn't need to leave the house, I decided to try and make my own instead...of course making mine with peanut butter. So here are my Copycat Brownie Bites...stuffed with Peanut Butter! </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP6ocrcrLr6XN00aj4RzlvQkOmVZtEM23EjHU1xhm8JH7mR16LXAhgMGyDHlyeiRt3ocf0LDjrpgh26Wi520V98xhX4pqp7ECSRbQ5VJucoS4yz4NB2mrckQoR6a0VsHgmCB3peFBkyEg/s1600/peanut+butter+brownies.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP6ocrcrLr6XN00aj4RzlvQkOmVZtEM23EjHU1xhm8JH7mR16LXAhgMGyDHlyeiRt3ocf0LDjrpgh26Wi520V98xhX4pqp7ECSRbQ5VJucoS4yz4NB2mrckQoR6a0VsHgmCB3peFBkyEg/s1600/peanut+butter+brownies.jpg" height="394" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then I made a fun peanut butter mixture to stuff in the middle.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">And last, I mixed up a yummy <a href="http://organizerbyday.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-best-holiday-cookies.html" target="_blank">cream cheese icing</a> for the top! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I've nicknamed these "Death by Tiny Chocolates" because I can't stop eating them! And I don't want to, because they're so small and innocent...and amazing!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 2/3 Cup sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3/4 Cup butter, melted (1 1/2 sticks)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 Tbsp water</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 eggs, room temperature</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 Tbsp vanilla</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 1/3 cup flour</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3/4 Cup baking cocoa powder</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 tsp baking powder</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 tsp salt</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 Cup peanut butter</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 Tbsp butter, softened</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/3 Cup powdered sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/3 Cup light brown sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 tsp vanilla</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Icing:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4oz cream cheese, softened</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 Tbsp butter, softened</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 Cup powdered sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 tsp vanilla</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">food coloring (optional)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Directions:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In a small bowl combine together the peanut butter and butter until there are no clumps. Add in the powdered sugar, brown sugar and vanilla and stir until completely mixed together. Set aside.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a mini muffin pan. Set aside.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In a large bowl, combine the sugar and butter. Stir in the water, then the eggs one at a time until fully mixed together. Add the vanilla.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In a medium bowl combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Stir this into the wet ingredients until there are hardly any clumps left.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Fill each muffin cup until there's just a couple centimeters showing at the top. I did this three times and ended up with 36 brownie bites.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Roll together 1/2 tsp size balls of the peanut butter mixture and smash it into the middle of the brownie.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool. I set mine in the pan on a cooling rack for a couple minutes, then popped them out and let them finish on the rack while the next batch cooked.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For Icing:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Combine the cream cheese and butter in your mixer on high until there are no lumps left. Add in the sugar and vanilla and any food coloring you may want. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Add to a piping bag and frost the tops of your bites once they are cooled. Or just grab a knife and glob it on there!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Refrigerate for later, or devour as many as you can now! I've had them warm and cold and both are equally amazing! I must say, I think these are even better than the ones you find at the gas station :)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey Hey and Happy Monday to you all! I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day! We had a great time down in southern Indiana spending the day with my Mother-in-Laws. We went to church together, they shared stories of past Mother's Days with me, and then we enjoyed a delicious homemade brunch. Speaking of homemade...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I know that there are some gifts that money can buy. Cars, trips, and Spa days are all nice, but not in my wheel house. I personally like the homemade gifts. Those are the ones that take time and effort and some special thought, but not a lot of money. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Like I mentioned the other day, I have several "Mom's" in my life. So to help make them all happy <strike>and my wallet</strike> this Mother's Day I decided to make some Homemade Coconut Sugar Scrub!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-size: large;">I went over to my big sister's house the other day (I know her by Sarey, but most of you will know her as <a href="http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Thrifty Decor Chick</a>. Check her out, she's awesome!) and made her up a jar. It smelled absolutely amazing! And it was so easy. Just add 2 parts sugar to one part coconut oil.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Stir it up. Add any essential oils you want. Put a lid and a cute ribbon around it, and you're done! Super easy and so much cheaper than going out and buying a gift. My sister loved it! Score! And, it's edible!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Directions:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In a small jar, combine 2 parts sugar with 1 part oil. My measurements were 1/2 Cup sugar and 1/4 cup coconut oil. I used coconut here, but you can use olive oil or even canola oil. Or for a sweeter scent, you can use brown sugar instead. Seriously, so easy.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you want to make a fragrance, add in your favorite essential oil. Some suggestions are lavendar, mint, lemon, raspberry, peach, whatever you like. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">To go a further step, add in one to two drops of food coloring to make it your favorite color. That's it!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Happy Happy Friday Y'All!! I'm so excited for this weekend! It's Mother's Day and I am so blessed to have so many amazing women in my life who represent what a Mom is. Giving birth to someone doesn't mean you automatically earn the title of Mother. Teaching someone, caring for someone, supporting them, encouraging them, yelling at them when they need to hear the truth, building them up and giving unconditional unbreakable love is what makes a mother...in my eyes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Lucky for me there are several women in my life that fit that definition plus do so much more. I've been so blessed to be surrounded by women who inspire me and teach me and show me what a real Mother is. Someone who kisses boo boos and holds hands walking into the first day of elementary and cheers the loudest at basketball games and gets there first to choir concerts to score the best seats and works numerous jobs but still makes it to every t ball game and loves their kids no matter what. I mean no matter what! I am just so lucky.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So to celebrate all the amazing moms out there, I'm sharing a quick and easy breakfast even the most cooking-challenged dad/son/daughter/boyfriend/significant other can make to serve that deserving mom breakfast in bed. I call it an Open-Faced Fruit Pie!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1 refrigerated pie crust</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 1/2 Cup fresh fruit, rinsed</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4 Tbsp cold butter</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 Cup flour</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 Cup sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 tsp cinnamon</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 tsp nutmeg</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 tsp salt</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 tsp vanilla</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">1 egg white</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 Tbsp water</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Directions:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Lay out your pie crust on a floured surface, then transfer it to a baking stone.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Place the fruit in the middle of the pie crust, leaving about 1 1/2 inches on the sides.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Cut up the butter using a pastry cutter (or a knife if you don't have one). I use the one my mom-in-law bought me :) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a small bowl. Mix in the cut up butter and sprinkle it over the fruit. Pour the vanilla over that.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Fold up the sides of the pie crust over the fruit and pinch the sides together to keep the fruit from spilling out.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Combine the egg white and water and brush over the pie crust.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool another five minutes on the stone before serving. Cut it up, and bring it to the beautiful deserving mom for breakfast in bed!! Enjoy!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Here's a recap of last week's record-breaking blog hop!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The best <b>"how to succeed on Pinterest"</b> post I've ever read was also most viewed on last week's hop! If you have any interest in honing your skills with Pinterest, this is a <u>must read</u>. In fact, it is a must SAVE. I have pinned it to my Blogging Tips board and have set it to open on my desktop until I am satisfied that I have really absorbed it. Thank you, Alice of <b>Mums Make Lists</b>, for taking the time to share it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Record breaking? Oh my my my, we had <span style="color: red;">352 wonderful entries </span>last week! </b> "<i>Ta da!!!"</i> (Trumpet sounds...drum roll) The April co-hosts worked so hard to get the news out and you all came a runnin'! Wow. Any possibility we can reach 400 this week? If we all joint in and tweet and share, we can do it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>So, who <u>was</u> number 352</b>? It gives me great pleasure to share her FREE MOTHER'S DAY PRINTABLES post with you...and she is a newbie blogger, too! I liked her Facebook page and I am her 12th fan :) Be sure to follow her on social media and give her a boost! Number 352 is "Editor's Pick"</span><br />

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! We FINALLY finished the garden. Whoo Hoo!! I've been working on that thing since the middle of April. I'll be sharing all about that journey with you guys soon!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today, though, I want to share with you this sweet treat that I can't.stop.eating. And it's just perfect for our upcoming hot spring/summer days. Cherry Lemonade Jello Popsicles!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">These are so delicious and absolutely effortless. All you do is make jello like you normally would, but instead of putting in the fridge, you put it in the freezer. That's about it!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I combined together a cherry and a lemon mix and the flavors together are absolutely perfect.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 box cherry jello mix</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 box lemon jello mix</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 Cups boiling water</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 Cups cold water</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Decorative containers (I used Patty Pan Pantry baking cups)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Wooden kabob skewers, or popsicle sticks</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 sheet of aluminum foil</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Directions:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Lay out your decorative containers on a baking sheet that will fit in your freezer. Ready a piece of aluminum foil that will fit over all the containers. This will help the skewers stand upright. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Cut each skewer in half.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Combine the two packages of jello in a large bowl that has a pour spout. The pour spout makes it easier to pour the mix into the containers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Boil 2 cups of water and stir it into the jello mix for a couple minutes, or until all of the powder is dissolved.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Add in the 2 cups of cold water and stir. Pour enough jello mix into the containers to almost fill them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Place the aluminum foil over the filled containers and poke the wooden skewer through the foil into the container. The foil should make the wooden skewer stand upright. Obviously it's ok if they fall over. They'll still be delicious!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNo181ajOJTxBBJYFOjoVLEzPUlmPyXO9hqbWKvNz15iFAaN6EIAd4qcmL3U7QE3plWKwu8fOHU1sZmQHgppYpzwgFWwPWZe-Ov7Mq854G-JJtwsOCVi8df5NUacphotDw0O1HAkrv-g8/s1600/jello+popsicles.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNo181ajOJTxBBJYFOjoVLEzPUlmPyXO9hqbWKvNz15iFAaN6EIAd4qcmL3U7QE3plWKwu8fOHU1sZmQHgppYpzwgFWwPWZe-Ov7Mq854G-JJtwsOCVi8df5NUacphotDw0O1HAkrv-g8/s1600/jello+popsicles.jpg" height="362" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Set in the freezer for about five hours, or overnight if you have time. Remove and peel off of the container. Bite and enjoy!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This recipe made exactly 16. I couldn't believe how perfectly it filled the containers without any leftover.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />I think these will be a new summertime favorite of ours! What are your favorite summer treats you make at your house? Would love more ideas!</span><br />

Hope you all are having a great week so far. TGTF (thank goodness tomorrow's Friday) right?! This weekend I believe...fingers crossed...we don't have any plans! I promised to help sub a Zumba class Saturday morning, but that's it. I seriously can't believe it. I'm half scared to even say this, because every time we realize we have a weekend free we end up getting booked with tons of plans. We'll see if our free weekend stays that way :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">I've told you on here before we followed Dave Ramsey to get debt free, and we still use his model today. That means when our budget is spent, the money is gone until the next payday. And we stick to it. This past week, even though we were out of eggs and milk (we don't have kids so it's not pertinent for us to have it everyday), I wanted to come up with something delicious for the weekend. It was tough seeing as I needed a recipe that didn't include either of those. Good luck, right?! I opened up the fridge, stared, stared, and stared some more and I finally came up with this super quick and super Easy-Made Monkey Bread!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I didn't want to call this homemade Monkey Bread since technically I didn't make the biscuits from scratch. But that's what makes these so great, they're so darn easy!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3/4 Cup brown sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3 tsp cinnamon</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">8 Biscuits</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">5 Tbsp butter</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 Tbsp corn syrup</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 Cup powdered sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 Tbsp milk</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 Tbsp butter, melted</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 tsp vanilla</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Directions:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a muffin tin and set aside. Mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon and set that aside too.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Cut up all your biscuits into 6 pieces.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Melt the butter in a small bowl, then add in the corn syrup. Drop the pieces into the butter mix then dip them in the sugar cinnamon mix. Make sure each piece is coated in sugar before removing it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Place four pieces into each muffin tin. Bake for about 12 minutes. When the timer goes off, turn off the oven and let the monkey bread sit in the oven for another few minutes. It helps them crunch up without continuing to cook.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Remove from the oven and run a knife along the edges to make sure they're easy to take out. Combine everything for the icing and drizzle all over the bread.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Serve and enjoy!</span><br />

Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Ours was full of baseball, softball, gardening and sitting on the couch doing absolutely nothing. Perfect.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The other day I was having a serious craving for chocolate and peanut butter. I mean, it was weird. I mentioned a while ago we were planning on expanding our family and so I was secretly hoping it was some pregnancy craving. No baby yet, but that didn't stop me from eating every <a href="http://organizerbyday.blogspot.com/2014/03/chocolate-bacon-cupcakes-with-peanut.html" target="_blank">chocolate</a> and <a href="http://organizerbyday.blogspot.com/2013/12/chocolate-peanut-butter-pretzel-bites.html" target="_blank">peanut butter</a> combination I could get my hands on.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I had a <a href="http://organizerbyday.blogspot.com/2013/11/microwave-homemade-peanut-butter.html" target="_blank">peanut butter chocolate chip granola bar</a>, a Reeses <a href="http://organizerbyday.blogspot.com/2014/01/chocolate-peanut-butter-hearts.html" target="_blank">peanut butter</a> Easter egg cup, skinny cow chocolate clusters dipped in...you guessed it...<a href="http://organizerbyday.blogspot.com/2014/02/valentine-pretzel-stick-bundles.html" target="_blank">peanut butter</a>. But it still wasn't enough. I needed MORE! So I opened up my cabinets and started digging until I found everything I needed to make a Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Crispy Cake!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This thing is amazing! I can't stop eating it. It has melted peanut butter, melted semi sweet chocolate and a combination of melted chocolate and peanut butter drizzled over the top. It gave me three super shiny pretty colors to top this great cake off with. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">All I did was turn over a bundt cake pan, made my normal rice crispy recipe, let it set, and topped it with the melted sweet goodness. Boom. Done. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3 Tbsp butter</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4-5 cups mini marshmallows</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 Tbsp vanilla</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">6 cups rice crispies cereal</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">3 Tbsp peanut butter, divided</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 cup chocolate chips, divided</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 1/2 Tbsp shortening, divided</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Directions:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Grease a bundt pan really well and set aside.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Melt the butter in a large pot on low heat.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Add in the marshmallows and vanilla and stir with a non stick spatula until all the mallows are melted.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Stir in the cereal until evenly coated. Pour into the bundt pan and press it down with buttered fingers or buttered wax paper. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Let it set for about an hour.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Turn bundt pan over and the cake should slide out. If it doesn't, try running a knife along the edges.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In a small bowl melt the chocolate chips (except for 1 Tbsp) with 1/2 Tbsp shortening. In another small bowl melt the peanut butter (except for 1 Tbsp) with 1/2 Tbsp shortening. Then add the remaining chocolate chips, peanut butter and shortening together and melt together in another small bowl. Each one took about a minute, stirring halfway through.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Drizzle each one over the cake until you have as much as you want. Do not place in the fridge to harden the chocolate. This will be served "wet" as in the topping won't harden. My experience is if I put rice crispies in the fridge they harden up and aren't enjoyable to eat.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Slice it up and enjoy!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am going to have to do this next time I am asked to make a cake and don't have a lot of time. So did you all have a great weekend? Anyone do anything new and fun? Let me know!</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey All! Happy Thursday to ya! Do you have a house full of picky eaters like us?! Hub and I hate tomatoes. I hate onions. He hates ranch. I hate super spicy stuff. He hates sugary things. Seriously?! How do I have this blog and make all my sweet stuff and not have someone to help me eat it all!? Good thing I teach Zumba :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So today I have an easy breakfast recipe that can satisfy every person in your family. I got this idea Sunday morning when Hub was dying for some bacon and I wanted sausage and bacon. I opened the fridge, looked around and saw my inspiration. Crescent Sheets. I love these things. And I love what I made with them! These are individualized Breakfast Crescent Roll Ups:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNhQANMQIRNY_R-9lx8UBXv16YERHz4KajXUuj1YJAYUb4AfGx2AJNJvSW2NxxNPx-VOyH7tQCxoMx34esfNFkOcrE4iONJfB-KuxNa5HfCQeLfGURUG2KZE3s6_eQGDGCoNx2CxUhUPk/s1600/breakfast+crescent+roll+ups.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNhQANMQIRNY_R-9lx8UBXv16YERHz4KajXUuj1YJAYUb4AfGx2AJNJvSW2NxxNPx-VOyH7tQCxoMx34esfNFkOcrE4iONJfB-KuxNa5HfCQeLfGURUG2KZE3s6_eQGDGCoNx2CxUhUPk/s1600/breakfast+crescent+roll+ups.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These were absolutely delicious! And the best part was Hub got his bacon loaded, hot sauce filled roll up and I got mine exactly how I wanted it, too! Win Win!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">First, roll out a crescent sheet:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJk8X9LoS9oz_dsMHHXOAshwaRRIZ1a819fn8fzYILcsDxQcKQQco5_IZcJBwhUVL_-1hw-ToaPDK-lFnIkj4VpgWjp9oKAzSTSAVUck1Avjts6MUuvxHoBCAzXRGtcy6wJI7ssZAu6QU/s1600/step+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJk8X9LoS9oz_dsMHHXOAshwaRRIZ1a819fn8fzYILcsDxQcKQQco5_IZcJBwhUVL_-1hw-ToaPDK-lFnIkj4VpgWjp9oKAzSTSAVUck1Avjts6MUuvxHoBCAzXRGtcy6wJI7ssZAu6QU/s1600/step+1.jpg" height="412" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Lay your cheese on top. I used sliced cheese instead of shredded because I knew it'd stay in the wrap easier:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4mZ7OjZL-am1nNiglxwSgmRmB1sbUC_6R-N8h72ww4PgMdtrQbZO1GcmoT0RBH_l9mpvjnEE7Zf6FEfAXPpEQlR1cU7ZbweSW9wva2yyaH5_K-Wx-0o5-CByVLmvXsbyBJ8sKQtoLyck/s1600/step+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4mZ7OjZL-am1nNiglxwSgmRmB1sbUC_6R-N8h72ww4PgMdtrQbZO1GcmoT0RBH_l9mpvjnEE7Zf6FEfAXPpEQlR1cU7ZbweSW9wva2yyaH5_K-Wx-0o5-CByVLmvXsbyBJ8sKQtoLyck/s1600/step+2.jpg" height="428" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then add the eggs: </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These roll ups make it so easy to give everyone what they want. Hub likes his eggs scrambled ahead of time with hot sauce, salt and pepper. I like mine cracked in the pan with a pinch of dill and garlic powder.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Crescent roll sheets (one tube feeds 2-4 people)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Favorite cheese slices</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Eggs</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Breakfast meat</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Veggies</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Seasonings you love</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Directions:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Roll out your crescent sheet and cut it in half width wise. Grease a large baking sheet and pre heat the oven to 375 degrees.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Cook your breakfast meat of choice and let cool while you cook the eggs. I would suggest scrambling your eggs, but feel free to try another way.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">While your eggs are cooking, lay your favorite cheese slices onto your crescent sheet. Add whatever seasonings you like to your eggs.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Add your eggs on top of the cheese and let the eggs cool for about a minute. While they cool, cut up your meat. This makes the roll easier to slice.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Add the cooled meat to the cooled eggs and top with any veggies you want. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Roll up the crescent sheet as tight as you can without tearing it. This is why you let the eggs and meat cool. If they were still piping hot they would rip the sheet.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Slice into 5-6 pieces and lay open side up on a baking sheet. Cook for about 11-13 minutes or until they are golden brown. Remove and enjoy!!</span></div>

Hope everyone had an amazing weekend! I know we did! Saturday I went to a Bridal Shower for my little cousin and got to see most of my aunts, several cousins, several sisters (I have a lot) and my mom! It was great catching up.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Next day was Easter, and it was probably the best Easter I've ever had! I woke up, worked out, had a wonderful church service, went out to brunch with just me and the hub, took a quick nap with hub, tinkered around in my work-in-progress garden, and binge watched our new <strike>total obsession</strike> favorite show Game Of Thrones (we know, we're dorks) all while eating a ton of my Raspberry Pound Cake!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The fresh raspberries are really what make this recipe. They're so sweet and juicy and I just can't get enough! </span><span style="font-size: large;">Plus it's incredibly moist. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Ingredients:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 Cup sugar</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 Cup butter, softened</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3 eggs, room temperature</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2 Tbsp lemon juice</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 Tbsp vanilla</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 1/2 Cups flour</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 tsp baking powder</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 tsp baking soda</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 tsp salt</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 Cup sour cream</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1 1/2 Cups fresh raspberries</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Directions:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease a bundt pan and set aside.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In a mixer, cream together the sugar and butter until smooth. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Add in the eggs one at a time, beating after each egg until fully incorporated. Using a spatula, scrape down the sides of the mixer. Then add the lemon juice and vanilla and stir.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the sugar mixture.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Add in the sour cream and beat until just mixed. Don't over mix. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Fold in the raspberries with a spatula and pour the mixture into the bundt pan. The mix will be very thick.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Bake for about 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the pan sit for another 10 minutes before trying to remove it from the pan.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Cool, slice up and enjoy!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Side note: </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I made this awesome sauce to go over the top. I used lemon juice, powdered sugar, vanilla and milk, but I didn't make an icing. I used very little sugar versus everything else. In the end it was a darker sauce, but poured over the top it was amazing. If I figure out the measurements, I'll come back and put them up.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Did you have a wonderful Easter? Did the kids find their baskets right away? Did they love everything the Easter Bunny sent them?! I know Easter has nothing to do with candy and everything to do with the Lord sacrificing himself for us. But he sacrificed himself so we can all have a wonderful life. I hope you all had as wonderful of a day as we did :)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Need a Bundt Pan?</span><br />
