Who likes BRUNCH?....

I do!!....Today I am in the mood for some "Brunch" like foods...the weather is still a little crisp, and the sun is shinning.  I have my cup of coffee while sitting at the computer woking on Sky Ranch SkyMom Events and a piece of a breakfast casserole just sounds so yummy...so I thought it might for you too....

so I thought I would share with you today some of my favorite BRUNCH foods...enjoy!

Sausage Rolls

2 packages cresent rolls

1 lb sausage, browned

1 8 ounce container of cream cheese

Roll out cresent tolls and press seams together.  Mix sausage and cream cheese.  Spread ½ sausage mixture on cresent roll to within 1 inch of edge.  Roll lengthwise.  Refrigerate.  Cut into ½ inch slices.  Bake 12 to 15 minutes at 375.

Breakfast Muffins

2 sticks real butter, melted

2 cups self rising flour

8 oz sour cream

Preheat oven to 350.  Mix all ingredients together.  Spoon into muffin pan – no need to line or spray with non stick spray.  For regular muffins, bake 20-25 minutes – until toothpick pulls clean.  For Mini muffins, bake 10-15 minutes.  Makes about 8 regular muffins and lots of mini muffins.  I have only done mini muffins and people always love them.

Apple Dumpling

2 granny smith apples

1 ½ stick butter

1 ½ cup sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

10 white sandwich bread slices, cubed (6 cups)

¼ tsp Worcestershire sauce

Cook sausage in a skillet over med heat, stirring until crumbles and is no longer pink, drain well.  Place bread crumbles in a lightly greased 13 x 9  inch baking dish  -- sprinkle bread evenly with cheese to top sausage.  Whisk together eggs and remaining ingredients.  Cover and chill casserole for 8 hours.  Let stand room temp 30 minutes.  Bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until set.  Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

SNEAK PEEK..at our exciting upcoming FAMILY DEVO!!!

Stacy Davis has been hard at work to reach many deadlines to complete our FIRST Sky Ranch Family Time Devotional in time for this SUMMER 2011! This Family Time De- votional was designed so that the camper can take a piece of Sky Ranch home! It was written by three Sky Ranch moms (Sky- Moms)...Stacy Davis, Lisa Clark and Tori Miller, who all have a heart for encouraging family growth with the Lord. 

You SkyMom Bloggers are the first to see a what it is going to look like....so exciting!!!  Thank you Stacy for helping pull all this together...this project is a blessing and we thank you on many levels for all you have done!!

We love you!

The Sky Ranch Family,....especially Lisa Clark and Tori Miller :)!

Ephesians 3:20-21 

  Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! 
Amen.

Cowboys and Cowboys 2011...an amazing evening!

Words cannot even remotely begin to communicate the overwhelming gratitude that is in our hearts for your amazing contributions towards making the event a success.  Every detail was covered and each person took care of their role with great pride and integrity towards Sky Ranch.  The music was fabulous!  The decor' and presentation was top notch!  The video, "The Ripple Affect" touched each heart in the room!  I could go on and on about about each person utilizing their gifts and talents and contributing to the success of the evening!

The ultimate goal was reached...to receive scholarship dollars to allow for more kids to come to camp so that they WILL learn the love of Christ this summer!  

Praise the Lord!

  

Lisa Life Lesson ~"Top 10 Teen “To-Do’s!"

Top 10 Teen “To-Do’s!”

1.  Text them to tell them you’ve prayed for them today! (Pray first!) Also, text them a scripture you’ve prayed over them…just the reference…then they can look it up later!

2.  Write a message of encouragement or a scripture on their bathroom mirror in lipstick…for boys, frame a colorful message/scripture every other week…they’ll look forward to new messages…I promise! (Even if they never mention it!)

3.  When disciplining, look your children eyeball to eyeball! This might be uncomfortable at first, but they will read the love intended through the discipline if they can see your full face.

4.  Celebrate Re-Birthdays! Each year, have a small cake or cupcake and celebrate the number of years they are In Christ! Don’t remember the exact date they accepted Christ? Then celebrate the month or a baptism date…This is a good time to reflect on what God is doing in his/her life and measure growth that has taken place over the year.

5.  Don’t like their taste in music? While in the car, play your kind of music, real loud. It’s your car, right? (I love to blast Carol King’s Tapestry CD on a sunny day. I’m real cool like that!)

6.  Want to make your child feel valued and special??? Get off the cell phone!!! Seriously, when the kids are in the car…talk to them, not the phone!

7.  Boy not talkin’ much, especially when you pick him up from school? Turn off the radio…overstimulation causes kids to shut down verbally…also, bring a water bottle for the ride home. Kids can dehydrate during the day with all work and no H2O!

8.  Pray for your children, let them know you are praying and ask them how you can pray for them! Remind them that nothing is too big or too small for God. (If you’re not praying for your kids…who is?)

9.  Be real…when you make a mistake, admit it, when you are right, don’t gloat. Our kids see a lot of fake (ie. Television, magazines, billboards). If we keep it real at home, they know they can trust us and will be able to relate to us.

10.  “Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.”   ~1 Cor 11:1~

Strawberry Tiramisu Recipe

I just received this recipe from one of my other friend bloggers.....and I could not resist putting it on here

I love how we can share all this stuff in the internet world...

" The strawberries look so delicious right now so this is a perfect month to try this. If you are like me and aren’t just in love with the taste of coffee, elimanate the espresso and use the same amount of milk and just substitute 2 teas almond extract in place of the liquer. You will then have an almond-flavored tiramisu with the strawberries.

Ingredients
1 pint fresh strawberries
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 cup mascarpone cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur
18 ladyfingers
1/3 cup chilled espresso
1/2 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions
1.Cut off the tops of the strawberries and slice the berries. Reserve 2 large whole berries for garnish.
2.In a blender, place 2 cups of strawberries and 2 tablespoons confectioners sugar; blend to puree and set aside.
3.In a medium bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, 1/4 cup cream, 1/4 cup sugar, and liqueur; beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes until thickened.
4.Place 6 ladyfingers on a serving plate and brush each with approximately 1 teaspoon cold espresso coffee. Spread or pipe out 1/2 of the cheese mixture over the ladyfingers, and layer with half of the sliced strawberries.
5.Repeat with the next 6 ladyfingers, espresso, remaining cheese mixture, and sliced strawberries; top with remaining 6 ladyfingers.
6.In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup heavy cream with 2 tablespoons sugar; beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until just whipped, approximately 1 minute. Spread cream evenly over top layer of ladyfingers.
7.Dust cocoa over whipped cream, and garnish with 2 reserved strawberries. Pour strawberry puree onto two serving plates. Cut tiramisu in half, and place onto puree."
