This weekend I didn't do anything on Friday night, which was nice... and I had the house to myself for just a little bit, that was also nice! (I was going to go to a youth rally but I worked over a little and I was really tired...so I just took the night to relax.)
Saturday, I got up and made me some 'required' coffee! =D Then I washed the dishes, straighted up the kitchen, swept and mopped, gave my chihuahuas a bath (i need to get some picutres of the lil stinkers!), then I went over to my moms and went over some scrapbooking stuff with my sister. Caleb will be a year old in September and I wanted to get his scrapbook done before then! {I haven't even started yet! YIKES!} After that I went back over to my house and worked on my room...organizing my closet, because it was getting WAY out of hand, and then I got stuff together to go to my friend RaJeana's! I had a great time over there w/her! We always have a blast together!
Sunday, I went to church w/Jeana...we got out a little early so we went on to Bristow. Church was good like always! I LOVE my church! =)
Last night everyone was getting ready to go to Ohio and I was wishin I was getting ready and goin w/them! =( But, life goes on...as usual! Lol.
Okay, so me and my mom have been talking about starting some kind of diet... that's about as far as it's gone though...talking and "planning"! It's not doing any good though because I have seriously been in this baking mood! I'm an easy baker type girl! Lol I don't do complex...the most complex I've done is a layered pineapple cake, which by the way was delish! ;) Maybe in the future I'll try more complex things! =)
First I made a coffee cake that was SO simple and OH MY WORD, SOO good! :)) Most should have all the ingredients on hand!
Coffee Cake
Ingredients:
1 stick butter
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup brown sugar
heaping tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
Directions:
In a large bowl crumble all the ingredients together except the milk and egg. Scoop out 1/2 cup of this for the topping.
To the rest of the crumbs, stir in the egg and milk. Pour into a greased 8″ or 9″ square pan and sprinkle with the saved crumb topping. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 min.
Then I seen a recipe on another blog for a Cinnamon Cresent Twists... Holy Moly, another awesome, easy dessert! They're best served warm but are still good cool. =)
Cinnamon Crescent Twists
1 package (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Glaze:
1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons hot water
Separate crescent roll dough into four rectangles; press seams to seal. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, butter and cinnamon; spread over two rectangles. Top with remaining two rectangles. Starting from a long side, cut each rectangle into three strips (I use my pizza cutter to do this). Twist each strip several times; seal ends together.
Place on greased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.
Immediately remove to wire racks. Combine glaze ingredients; brush over warm twists and enjoy!
I also made some very good Lemon Cookies! They were VERY easy and VERY good! Kinda rich though!! If you like lemon, you'll like these! :D
