Crispy Oven Fried Chicken and Fondant

Hello again we are almost all caught up now.  Tonight's dinner was the crispy oven fried chicken, another smiley face in the composition book.  While that was in the oven I decided to try my hand at making fondant for the first time ever and I must say with my husband and daughter's help handing me things while my hands were deep in fondant kneading.  I did it and I can't wait to roll it out and use it.  This fondant recipe I used came from allrecipes and it tastes like divinity without the nuts.  Thanks again for reading, God bless.

Creamy Fettuccine Carbonara

Hello again, this dish I fixed yesterday afternoon.  My husband and daughter didn't like the baby spinach leaves in it and suggested broccoli instead, however my son and I like it with the leaves.  Once my son new what the leaves were he ate them lol.  If you would like the recipe just comment and I will send it your way.  Thanks for reading, God bless.

Enchilada Casser-role

Hello everyone.  A Belated Happy New Year to all!  Ok so Saturday night for dinner I tried an enchilada casser-ole.  It was a hit with the family.  I did leave out lettuce and tomatoes only because I had forgotten to get the tomatoes for this dish...lol.  I'm not sure where I got this recipe but if you are interested leave a comment and I will give you the recipe.  Thanks for reading.  God bless.

GA's first fund raiser of the new GA year

Hello everyone, I totally forgot to take pictures of this recent event.  Friday night was our first Bake Sale with our new group of GA's.  We made about $32.00 towards getting a service dog for a family.  The girls are well on their way to make their goal and get a pizza party.  They are also going to be selling the lollipops with purple ribbons on them sometime soon, hopefully we can get it out there to sell by wednesday nights supper.  I will try to remember to take pictures at their next bake sale which will be this friday.  Thanks for reading, have a great day, God Bless.

The GA's LOCK-IN

     WOW!  The Ga's lock in at the church was a BLAST!  Some of the girls slept but as for me a few other girls we were awake ALL night.  There was make-up, colored and glitter hair spray, nail polish, curling and straighting of the hair, a movie, a talent show  pageant thingy.  It was fun.  I think that the next time we do this we will have to be better organized and have the big tent.  And probably a set bedtime too.  Like lights out at 2 maybe 3am.  That way everyone can get some sleep.  I have pictures but I haven't downloaded them yet...so stay tuned.

I'm Back

     Hello everyone, I hope everyone had a great summer.  I did, I was very blessed all summer.  The only thing I wish that there was more of was our beach days!  But my hubby took us to the beach for a whole weekend and we basically lived right there on the beach.  It was great.  We watched the entire 3 seasons of H2O: Just Add Water and if you like mermaids and haven't seen it yet I highly recommend it.  So this summer has been about Transformers and Mermaids..lol.
     We started our sewing class again, and can't wait to get started on those projects.  My daughter hasn't decided yet, I've made a pattern of a mermaid doll and hope that it turns out like I am picturing it in my head.  My daughter's friend is almost finished with her project already and my niece has joined us and is making a Clemson pillow.  Just so everyone knows I am a GAMECOCK fan, but as long as Clemson plays someone else I will be okay if Clemson wins. 
     The GA's got bigger this year, I am excited.  We have so many neat things planed already, from adopting a solider and adopting a senior and fund raising for great causes.  We are hoping to have a Lock In at the church one night to watching Soul Surfer and we might be planing a trip to the movies too to see Dolphin Tale.   We are so blessed.  Thanks for reading.  God Bless.

Catching Up

The bake sale was good.  I think we have enough money to send to get the baby chics.  The VBS (Vacation Bible School) went really well and even though I didn't make enough Statue of Liberty's for every one the plaster paint day was still a big hit.  My favorite craft that the kids did that week had to be the water bottle coozies.  They were so neat.  Now things are back to normal and the day camps at church for our little ones is Thursdays 9-1 not today this starts the following Thursday.  My kids, two dogs and I are going to spend a week with my dad.  This will be the big dog's first time being over there, and I pray that she won't get out of the gate because she can run really fast and I don't want anything to happen to her.  I also pray that she won't chew anything that belongs to my dad while we are there, I will be very upset.  I think as long as the kids and I and her little companion is there with her I don't think there will be much of a problem.  I wish I could bring my bike, but I already know that it won't fit in my car from past experience...lol.  I got the bike stuck in the car when I first bought it from WAL-MART...lol that was a sight to see. Thanks for reading, God Bless.
