Moments like these make it all worth it....

After Luke's party on Saturday we had a lazy afternoon. We played 632 games of Bingo and I am now the champion at Barrel of Monkeys because I picked all 13 monkeys up....thank you very much.

At dinner the kids all decided that they wanted Kid Cuisines to eat. So I made them one by one in the microwave and when I gave Madyson's to her, I noticed that she immediately bowed her head and prayed. I'm not sure if she thought we weren't doing the blessing or what because we ALWAYS say the blessing in our house.

I can honestly say though that I have never been more proud of her. Every single academic accomplishment paled in comparison to that moment. I love knowing that she knows to acknowledge that all our blessings come from God.

I asked her if she remembered to pray at school before she ate her lunch each day. She told me she did but she didn't understand why her teacher didn't pray with the class before they had lunch. Her Kindergarten teacher did. She said "I guess that's what people mean by taking prayer out of schools."

I'm so proud of how she sees things and how she realizes the importance of prayer.

Pizza Rolls

So, I thought I'd start sharing simple recipes that are easy to make, don't involve 237 ingredients and that also taste good.

This is a recipe that I've made a few times and the kids LOVE it! The best part? Only 5 ingredients.

You'll need an egg.

Separate the yolk and the white. Put the egg white in a bowl and beat it until a froth forms on top. Set aside. Place the yolk in a mixing bowl (see above.)

Add 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Next, add 1/2 cup of diced pepperoni.

Finally, add 1/4 teaspoon of oregano.

Roll out one 8oz. can of crescent rolls. Smooth all of the perforations and tears to make one large dough canvas.


Smooth your mixture on top and roll from one end to the other. Begin cutting at one end and making pizza rolls.

(Please look away from the overused baking sheet) Your pizza rolls will look something like this. Hopefully yours may even look a little better. Brush the tops of them with the egg white.

Bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes.

The finished product will look something like this. YUMMY!!
