My 'Good Morning" from God ☺
 
 
Love how the sun forms a star as it blazes through the trees!
 
                                                                       
 
The hunters that live here have left us for the mountains in hopes of bagging a few deer. So Serena and I will have a quiet weekend of doing whatever we fancy, and eating when, if, and what we fancy. I whipped up a bit of girl food this morning and plan to stay out of the kitchen as much as possible for the rest of the weekend. As much as I enjoy cooking and baking a break now and then is nice! ☺
 
 
 
When I was still living at home we could see both sunrises and sunsets. Where I've lived since I'm married the trees have blocked either one or both of them. I really miss them and so a few nights ago I went to a place where I could see what remained of this one. Ahhh, LOVELY!
 
~Happy Weekend!~

    A girlie weekend! How fun!

    I can see sun sets in the winter. They move down the street behind trees in the summer! And the sunrises are always hidden with the way our house is located. I'm looking forward to seeing the sunsets again! Wow...that moon shot is really lovely!

    Do you stock your freezer with venison?

      Thank you Betsy!

      and we usually process the ones they get. Mostly we keep the backstrap and the rest gets ground for burger and we mix it with beef.

    Beautiful pictures! I love what you said about God greeting us in the morning. I often am amazed by the beauty he creates on my drive to work in the morning.
    PS - your recipe above looks wonderful, but I have the craziest family that doesn't like mushrooms. :(

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
