Girl's Night In

I love to be a hostess.  There is nothing better than planning a party, then lovingly preparing an assortment of foods then welcoming friends into your home to share it with you.  I love that.  I did that this weekend.  It was Girl's Night In at my house.  

As I planned the evening, I wanted to have 'girly' food.  Or, to put it another way, as it was the eve of Super Bowl, 'anti-Super-bowl-party-food'.  The menu was vegetarian. Everything, except the crackers and chips, were homemade.

Friendship Friday - Feb 3, 2012

Well, it's Friday again. I had hoped to have written a couple more posts this week, but considering how busy of a week I have had, I will have to settle for the one. 

But it's Friday!  So welcome here.  Have a seat and stay awhile.  

Yeasty Blessings

I love to bless my family, using my God given gifts.  Seeming as how my girls already have plenty of crocheted items, and Darin refuses to wear anything crocheted, I like to bless them with food from my kitchen.  Today it's cinnamon rolls and homemade pizza.

Cinnamon buns with maple icing.

Today I divided my cinnamon roll dough into two batches.  Batch one, cinnamon rolls with maple icing.  Batch two, chocolate chip cookie rolls with cream cheese icing.  They are both divine and are best enjoyed with a steaming hot cup of coffee.  I will post more about these tomorrow.
