3 Kings Cake (With Recipe)

We enjoyed a nice 3 Kings Day Celebration (a day late) with the Delgado's and I attempted my first King Cake.  It turned out yummy!!! The plate was cleaned pretty quickly which made me happy. So I thought I would share the recipe.

I used the following ingredients

2 Tubes of Buttery Flaky Crescent Rolls (but any kind will do)
Butter Spray
Cinnamon Sugar (1/4 cup to 1 Tbsp Ratio)
1/2 can of Sugar Free Apple Pie Filling
1 8 oz package of 1/3 fat Cream Cheese Softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Microwavable Glaze

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pull out your pizza pan. Grab 2 cans ofbutter flavored crescent rolls. Unroll all the triangles and place large end towards the outside, like making one of those Pampered Chef crescent roll rings. Spray with butter spray, forming a pretty circle. Sprinkle a generous amount of cinnamon and sugar. Mix softened cream cheese vanilla & 1/4 cup of sugar together till well combined.  Spoon mixture about halfway towards center in a ring, then spoon pie filling on top of cream cheese filling. (If you have a plastic baby or nut to insert you can do so here.) Roll the large ends of the triangles over your filling making an oval of dough. Spritz with more butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. You should have a large ring of dough. You don’t want a perfect circle, but more of an oval shape. Bake until golden brown all over. 17-20 min.






I cheated when it came to icing and used 1/2 bottle of microwavable glaze from the cake isle.  A traditional New Orleans Style king Cake is topped with icing and then colored sugar.  I moved mine to the platter b/4 adding the glaze.  Moving to the platter is tricky, it took 2 spatulas and tipping the pizza pan to get it on the plate for me.

Tonya's Wedding

My sister Tonya was married in August and I had the distict pleasure and honor of being in the wedding as well as taking the pictures. I love you Tonya and but I will NOT be doing that again! It was fun but also incredibly stressful! I did love being part of and capturing her day. Tonya and I were both incredibly blessed to be made family through living with my Aunt Nancy and Uncle David. David gave us both away at our weddings. He is quite happy to have finished with the giving aways :)

My Most Favorite

I am very very blessed to know a good amount of incredible people who have served and do serve in the Military.  I owe each and everyone of them a debt of gratitude for their sacrifice and service.  I like this definition.

Veteran: whether active duty, honorably discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his or her life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.'

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13

This guy here he is my Favorite one, so proud and honored to be his wife.

Choose Strength

I know I haven't blogged in a while but I saw this quote and felt compelled to post it.  Watching some teens I love walk through a very difficult time and knowing that God can and will use it to strengthen them.

One Year Ago...

He asked me to be his bride...



And 10 months ago....



It happened.

"Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”(Mark 10:7-9 ESV)

I thank God everyday for every day that has been a part of this last year, and every thing that God worked to bring us together. What a ride so far!

:) Paxton Puppy


Look at our pup he is 7 months old :)

He really is such a joy to me! I know it may seem silly but we do enjoy him so much. He makes me laugh and his excitement is contagious. One of these days I will snap a pic of him when he is "smiling". Whenever he gets really excited he looks like he is grinning from ear to ear and it is so funny!

Doggy Daycare

So we have been sending Paxton to Doggy Daycare 1-2 times per week. It gives him time to be outside and play, he gets to spend time with other dogs and he is really tired by the time I pick him up on my way home.

Here is photographic proof: On the way home from his latest trip to Doggy Daycare




They love him there and he has such a blast! He is so excited when he sees me put the Kennel in the car in the mornings.

Oh and yes that is his FAVORITE FL GATOR toy (shhh don't tell my Oklahoma State Fan that it's his favorite but it really is!) hehe
