Yum!

For my roommate's birthday, my other roommate and I made a strawberry shortcake! It looks beautiful and I'm sure it tastes just as yummy too (but it's fast sunday so we have to wait . . . ).

Because of Doctor Who . . .

Mom and Daughter

I've never thought I looked like my mom before--that I always took after my dad's side of the family. But I think this photo has proved me wrong.

This is my mom 34 years ago when she was 23 (?) after she and my uncle Scott went to Europe.

This is me, two years ago (age 20) when I was in London. Our faces and "smiles" are similar, and our pants even look the same!

I guess I have more of my mom in me than I thought.

New Recipe!

Today is a day for new things! Here's a new recipe that I have adapted from my mom's Sausage Filled Crepes recipe!

Sausage Crescent Rolls

1 lb ground sausage

1/4 cup minced yellow onions (about 1/2 a small onion)

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese

1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

3 packages crescent rolls (I only used two and had filling left over!)

Set cream cheese out to soften. Brown sausage in a pan with onions and drain. Mix cream cheese, cheddar and sausage together. Preheat oven to 375*. Open crescent rolls packages and pull the triangles apart. With a spoon, flatten the rolls just a little bit to make them bigger. Spoon some filling on top, then roll up the dough. Tuck the ends in to keep the filling from escaping while cooking. When done, cook for 11-13 minutes until the rolls are golden brown. Enjoy!

Here's another way to use crescent rolls in your cooking!

New Dress!

For any of you who are females, and LDS, you can probably relate to the feeling of having a new dress to wear to church-especially if you are in a single's ward. I've been wanting a dress for a long time (I just have skirts), mostly because I see all the girls in my ward in their cute dresses. Plus, it seems like these girls all have something new to wear every week when I keep wearing the same skirt and shirt combinations over and over again. (My mom has accused me of being vain, and I guess I am a little . . . oh well.) So, I finally got a new dress at this great store in University Mall call 2Love.

I'm so excited to go to church in my new dress! Finally, something cute that I own! I even got a flower for my hair that matches!

Have a good Sunday!

Having a bad day?

It's a little long, but worth it.

By the way, you are great.
