Dog Day of Spring

We took our dog Doc Holiday out to the Bishop Ranch where my dad works.  To say Doc had a blast would be an understatement.  He ran, jumped, drooled, circled, swam, I think he even tried to fish.  He played with the Bishop's dog blue, who you'll see in the background of some of the pictures.  We originally went to feed the new baby calf we named Call (Lonesome Dove anyone)?  Call was a twin and the momma only took to one of them so Call gets bottle fed everyday twice a day.  Pretty sure my dad finds it a nuisance but I lovvee every minute of it! The plan today was to feed my baby Call until it became the Doc and Blue show.  Seeing them run thru cattle, around the pasture and into the pond, made me wish we had land to see our dogs that happy running free.  Maybe when Im making millions like the Bishops.  But I sure do enjoy spending the afternoons their fo free!

Easter Cop-Out #2


My second dessert I brought was just as easy and super cute. I made cupcakes then colored the icing green. Using the Wilton Tip #233 I made the icing look like grass. Next, I took some of Jeremy's cadburry mini eggs that I bought him (I know I'm such an indian giver) and placed them on top. I used a chocolate cupcake recipe but buying a cake mix box from the store would be even easier. Here is the turnout:

Easter Desserts

30 family members gathered in my Grandma's small home as we celebrated Easter with egg hunting, volleyball, and of course the traditional soccer games!  I was asked to bring the desserts so I went with the cop out easy desserts but surprisingly most popular.  If you are like me and still trying to test the waters with dessert making; then sopaipilla cheesecake is the way to go! It is quick, easy, and oh so scrumptious. 
2 cans crescent rolls                         1 tsp vanilla
2 (8oz) cream cheese                       1 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 c. sugar                                   1  stick butter, melted

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.  Spread 1 can of crescent rolls in bottom of baking dish.  Cream 3/4 cup sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla.  Spread on top of cresent rolls.  Roll the second can of crescent rolls out on top of the cream cheese mixture.  Mix together melted butter, cinnamon and 3/4 cup sugar. Pour evenly over the top: Bake at 350* for 25 to 30 minutes.  Or if you have an old as dirt oven like mine you might want to pull it out after 20.....Should I? Ok- thats what she said. Happy Baking!
