Our Cruise Celebrating our 20 year Anniversary
We survived our first cruise, but barely! There were as many ups and downs as there were waves on the sea (and there were lots of those)! Apparently February is not the greatest time to do the Baja Mexico cruise because the weather can be a bit iffy.
In summary: the weather was rotten and cold, the food was amazing, the water was rough, we got to see a foreign country, we didn’t get to do the zipline, we got to tour La Boufadora for free, we met some nice people, I got really seasick, we saw one of our missionaries from VA with his wife, we took the stairs, I gained 11 pounds :( , I slept like a baby, we were so sleepy we slept through most of the activities, we lost our passports, did I mention that the food was really good?, I got bloated and heartburn, I had kankles when we got home, we got massages in Mexico, there are still price tags on my sundresses and new swimming suits, we got to spend lots of quality time together.
And boy, we are glad to be home!

It's Recipe Time!
I know I haven't written in a long time, but now that January is almost here, hopefully I can get caught up :)
Here are some of my favorite recipes, if you are in the cooking mood.
Savory Breakfast Casserole
By Sunny Moore
1lb sausage, cooked
sliced bread
1pkg taco seasoning
6 eggs
2 c milk
salt to taste
½ tsp dry mustard
1 c shredded cheddar cheese
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. In blender mix eggs, taco seasoning, milk, salt and mustard.
3. Lay bread in sprayed 9x13 casserole dish. Layer sausage, cheese, then egg mixture.
4. Bake 350 for 40 min.
This can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge. Bake the next morning.
Monkey Bread
We have this instead of Cinnimon rolls for Christmas morning. They are delicious and EASY. Although Cinnamon rolls are nice once in a while. However, one year we made cinnamon rolls and as Santa was handing out the gifts, the cinnamon rolls began to burn in the oven causing the smoke alarm to go off in the middle of the night! Surprisingly no one woke up.
We have also done different versions of this due to needs at the time. This year, we couldn't get our hands on butterscotch pudding, so we used vanilla. We've also substituted instant and it turned out fine. This can be made with or without nuts and I think raisins would be divine! Use your imagination!
MONKEY BREAD - BEST EVER
24 Frozen Rhodes Rolls (dinner rolls)
1 cup brown sugar
1 box butterscotch cook & serve dry pudding mix not instant
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 stick butter, (not margarine)
pecans or walnuts, chopped, optional
Right before going to bed, or 10 pm, sprinkle pecans or walnuts into a greased Bunt pan, (I use Pam cooking spray), then put 24 frozen Rhodes Rolls into pan. Mix brown sugar and dry pudding mix together and sprinkle over frozen rolls. Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on top of that.
Melt butter and slowly pour over rolls in Bunt pan, trying to cover all of the sugar. Leave on counter overnight and when you get up, the rolls should have risen nicely and you will put Bunt pan on a cookie sheet in a preheated 350̊F oven and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove from oven and pour rolls upside down onto a large platter. Serve warm.
These are extremely easy to make and very delicious. And your house will smell wonderful... These are a family favorite.

I Conquered the Candy Bar Game
Today in mutual my Beehives were in charge of the group activity. They chose to play the Candy Bar Game.
I was the designated candy purchaser. I had a lot of fun today in Winco's candy bin aisle. I scooped up mini Twix bars, and bubble gum, and chocolate eyeballs, and a great assortment of other delectible treats weighing in at SEVEN POUNDS! I bought two enormous toffee Symphony bars just to make the game more interesting (it worked ;)
At the church, I dumped the entire contents into the middle of the gym floor, and the game began. The kids were going crazy! They passed the candy back and forth and filled and dumped their bags and fought over those Symphony bars like they were the last morsels of chocolate on the planet.
I watched.
I played.
I did not partake.
I feel a little cranky.
I'm sure tomorrow I will feel elated that I conquered the game by conquering my desire to eat all of that candy!
The end.
