Saturday Favorites - Pinterest Edition

Thought today I would share some of my recent Pinterest pins that I just can't wait to try!

Brownies with pretzel crust. umm yum. salty and sweet.

You can find these yummy looking brownies with a pretzel crust HERE.

I guess I wouldn't want to JUST make dessert, so to start I might make this delicious looking casserole BEFORE we devour the brownies!

Chicken and Biscuit Casserole. 1 pilsbury biscuit tube 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup (regular sized) 1/2 cup of Sour Cream 1/2 stick of butter, melted 1 can of peas 2 cups cooked chicken, 1 cup mild cheddar cheese 3 TBS milk Bake 375 35 min.

Chicken Casserole can be found HERE.

Or maybe we'd be in the mood for something a little lighter?
In that case, these mozzerella sandwiches to dip in spaghetti sauce or pizza sauce sounds tempting!

Grilled Mozzarella Sandwiches, serve with a side of marinara. Why have I never thought of this!!

Sandwiches found HERE.

And maybe a side dish to top off the meal?
 Maybe something like these to-die-for looking carrots???

These carrots are amazing! Roast in the oven at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes with some seasoning and a little olive oil. Then drizzle with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of honey, and about 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar. Pop them back into the oven for about 5 more minutes to achieve sweet, salty, still slightly cruchy perfection!

Carrots found HERE.

I'm thinking a fall drink might be in order as well,
Hmmm... maybe something like this "sparkling apple cider"?

2 cans frozen apple juice concentrate & 2 liters club soda = Homemade "Martinelli's" sparkling apple juice!!    love the apple slices


Sparkling Cider found HERE.

So much for food, there are SO many other things to find on Pinterest!!!

Maybe I'll bring some of those next week, but for now...
Need some great ideas for folding the dollar bills the tooth fairy leaves?
I LOVE these!

Folded Money...from the tooth fairy

Folded money found HERE.

And hopefully will still be able to use them sometime, Liam has yet to lose a tooth, but soon!?

What you should know about HIV

-HIV can NOT be spread through casual/household contact. HIV is not spread through hugging, kissing, shaking hands, sharing toys, sneezing, coughing, sharing food, sharing drinks, bathing, swimming or any other casual way. It has been proven that HIV and AIDS can only be spread through sexual contact, birth, breastfeeding and blood to blood contact (such as sharing needles). - HIV is now considered a chronic but manageable disease. With treatment, people who are HIV+ can live indefinitely without developing AIDS and can live long and full lives. - People who are HIV+ deserve to be treated with love, respect, support and acceptance as all people do. Additional information on transmission of HIV can be found on the Center for Disease Control website: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources

Little Did I Know

Little did I know that the road would be so rocky
Little did I know that the trip would take so long
Little did I know that my heart could hurt so much
Little did I know that God is never wrong

Little did I know that love could be so powerful
Little did I know that a dream so far could go
Little did I know that God would place the right ones
Little did I know that my heart, so large, could grow

Little did I know that a dream has it’s own timing
Little did I know that this day would finally come
Little did I know that four souls would be sent to guide me
Little did I know that they would choose to call me mom

But God knew all along and He had a plan to follow
God knew all along that my dream would soon come true
God knew all along that we five should be together
God knew all along that I’d share it all with you
