momeez--on holiday tonight!

hello mommies! we are taking a holiday today to celebrate president's day:) we will be back on air bringing your great tips, encouragement & recipes next week. in the mean time... please feel free to check out an achieved show and try out one of our yummy recipes we have talked about on the show this month:

Sopapilla Cheesecake

2 cans of crescent rolls (the kind for recipes would be great)
2-8oz cream cheese
1 tsp vanilla
1c.sugar

*mix cream cheese, vanilla & sugar
*lay out roll on bottom of 9x 13 pan (pinch together seams if used reg. crescents)
*spread cheese mixture on top
*add 2nd can of rolls as top crust

mix topping
1/2 c melted butter
1tsp cinnamon
1/2c. sugar

*drizzle all over top
*bake at 350 for 30min or golden brown and bubbly

enjoy!
Candy-Coated Popcorn

12oz of almond bark (vanilla bark coating)
2 bags of pop corn (plain or kettle worked well, but nothing too buttery)
sprinkles (your choice of color)

Pop corn (according to microwave directions) and let cool while melting bark. Melt the bark (i melted all 6 squares at once) according to package directions (about 90 seconds in microwave). In a large bowl add pop corn, pour in melted bark (i did in 2 batches so it was easier to stir) and add sprinkles. Stir until the bark coats the pop corn. Add additional sprinkles on top for color.

since i wasn't serving mine 'til the next day, i poured it out onto wax paper let it cool before i gently broke it up to put in my serving dish. i let people 'serve' themselves with my silver ice scoop out of our decorative ice bucket (i can upload a pic for ya, later).

Other options: for different holidays add different types of candy---candy corn in the fall, m&m's in holiday colors, etc.

enjoy!
