    Brioche French Toast

    04/08 /1 Comment

    We are bread lovers no doubt and anytime I can incorporate bread into any of my meals, I have one happy family! Coop is recovering still from croup so we didn’t get to church today. I decided a full breakfast was in order. French Toast, sausage and fruit. I love a hearty bread for French Toast and you can’t go wrong with brioche. It is a bit more expensive, but the texture is perfect! There are a ton of variations to French Toast and this is mine. Hope y’all enjoy!

    Have Baby Will Travel III

    03/20 /2 Comments

    Hey y’all! I know it has been a while since I have written anything but we had a death in the family and I had to travel to North Carolina. It has been hectic to say the least but I am back home now and can play catch-up. So last time I wrote about traveling with Cooper he was tiny yet and I was able to use our Bob stroller as well as his Britax carrier car seat. Well he isn’t lil anymore so things changed. It was only he and myself traveling so I had to get a wee bit creative with luggage, car seats etc. I am no…

    For All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever.”  1 Peter 1:24-25  Time: The one thing we all have and can be the most abused gift we are given. I am guilty as most of us are and this morning I had my wake-up call that got me thinking. I start my day’s normally at 6:00am when my expensive alarm clock, Cooper, goes off. I get up, change him, and we set out to the kitchen to make our “coffee”. I let the pups out and give…

    Lil Man’s First Birthday!

    I can’t believe the time has passed as quickly as it has. One year already and it feels like we just brought him home! God has truly blessed us with the most amazing baby and I am so grateful to be his mama. His birthday party was a huge success and I would like to share the details with you! Since we are a huge outdoors family I went with a buffalo plaid and forest theme. Cupcakes were easiest and I found the most amazing recipe that you just have to try even if it isn’t for a party!

    Venezuelan Empanada’s

    Got this recipe from a friend of mine and I love empanada’s! If you have older kids, this is fun to make with them. Prep Harina Pan as indicated on package. Don’t add sugar however it isn’t necessary. You want a wet but pliable consistency in order to form the dough. (refrigerate for 30 min) While dough is in the refrigerator make your filling. Here are a few examples of what you can make to fill: Taco meat and queso fresco Shredded chicken and cheese Sweet plantain and shredded beef Ham and cheese Dough Prep: Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thick.
