Happy 13th Birthday Anthony

-
 Today, 13 years ago we were blessed with a quiet, calm, baby boy with dark chocolate brown eyes. He slept most of the first 3 months of his life. He is still gentle, easy going, and calm. Like his Dad! ☺ He is third born of 3 boys in row, so I always assumed his calm personality was a double blessing.☺

He loves to read, does well in school, loves to play games and is a peacemaker/keeper. He is dependable, patient, and will do everything he can to make sure the ladies of the house are taken care of. ☺

He is also a perfectionist and asks very technical questions that can make me feel confused about the instructions I'm giving him at the time. haha

He's quite a handy fellow in the kitchen and loves it when I ask him to bake cookies. He's usually willing to try new food ☺ at least once.

He has a hilarious sense of humor and has a way of telling his little jokes that make us all laugh. He's not overly fond of being photographed and once when I told him to just simply smile he replied,"But I never know which smile to use!" ☺

Anthony we are blessed to be a part of your life and thank God for trusting us with your care! We love you! Happy Birthday! I hope you will someday look back on your teen years with fondness!

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, starting on
