Happy Easter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To you and your families!!!

May God's Blessings be with you all!

We normally have the family Easter dinner but will just be my 2 kids and us 2.  Normally I would be in kitchen all day today and up early tomorrow but.....  Made a pie today and the little ham sandwiches are made so will just have to do slow creamy potatoes in crock pot and probably cream corn I will make tomorrow or green beans.  So less prep, save some money and won't be dragging btomorrow night.  Well okay, I might still be dragging but ..............

Cheesecake

3--8 ounce packages of cream cheese
1-- 8 ounce carton of sour cream
1 1/4 cups of sugar
5 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
Half roll of sugar slice & bake sugar cookies
Sprinkle of cinnamon on top

Mix the cream cheese and sour cream until light, then cream in the sugar.  Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each egg.  Add vanilla and beat again.
Pour into a large pan about 11 x 14 that is sprayed and lined with cookie dough pressed thin.
Sprinkle cinnamon on top if desired.
Bake about 45 minutes at 350.

I seem not to be able to figure out how you can post a comment back to one person when they comment or ask a question.

Chicken Bacon Ranch Potato Bake

I ran across this on facebook the other day and made it.  We loved it.



Chicken Bacon Ranch Potato Bake
1/2 cup olive oil
1 tsp. salt
1 ranch dressing mix--dry powder ( I used Italian because I had it)
14 medium potatoes, cubed    (We used about 9)
3 chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces  (used 2)
2 1/2 cups shredded cheese
1 cup crumbled bacon
1 cup green onions, chopped
1 tsp. black pepper

Preheat over to 500.
In a large bowl combine, olive oil, salt, pepper and ranch dressing (or dressing of choice).
Add the potatoes to the oil mixture and toss well.  Spoon potatoes into a 9 X 13 baking dish that has been sprayed. Leave behind as much oil mixture as possible.
Roast potatoes until crispy, about 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Cut raw chicken into bite size pieces and add to oil mixture and toss well.
In a separate bowl mix the cheese, bacon and onion.
When potatoes are crispy, remove from oven. Lower the temperature to 400.
Top potatoes with raw chicken and the cheese mixture.  Bake for another 15-20 minutes.  (I did about 30)
Allow to cool for 10 minutes.  Serve with sour cream or ranch dressing (or dressing you used) if desired.

Just to share

I went to a church service on Friday night and their saying is:

"God, open my eyes to one person who needs Your love today and give me the courage to share it."

Christmas 2019 and a few others

Pictures go bigger if clicked on.

 Santa must of dropped 3 presents out of his sleigh.  She saw them laying around the yard out the window when she was handing presents out.

 Our Christmas tree.  98.9% all homemade ornaments.  Few of my grandparents on it.  The door prize was to guess on many were on it.  339 was the number of ornaments on it.

Some crafts I did for 2019 Christmas

This is the lotion that people like on their feet and also hands, especially if you work outside. Seasoning salt in other containers.

 These are painted globes.

 Snowman ornament glittered and painted inside.

This one my mom made last year for us for Christmas.  The top is a tuna can painted.  I put the little accents on it.  Inside is small blue battery operated lights.  I did 11 and gave them out before Christmas so they could be used.  Did 3 for where I work so each branch would have have.  They were very well received.
