We made a couple of amazing Pinterest recipes this week I'd like to share with you!  

The first was crock pot ham... so easy and tasty!  I like to shop Al*di's whenever I can as I just can get SO much more for my money.  I was pleasantly surprised to find this large spiral cut ham for a very reasonable price!

I did have to cut off a bit to fit it but that we just kept for sandwiches. :)

Layer the bottom of your crock pot with brown sugar.
Place the spiral cut ham on top, cutting off excess if needed.
Pour one can of either pineapple chunks or tidbits with the juice, over the top.
Add more brown sugar on top.
Cook on low 6-7 hours, but be sure to watch so the ham doesn't dry out, especially as crock pot cooking times vary.







Next we made what was/is touted as the best sheet cake ever.
Have to say it was VERY good!!!!!!

 The recipe is a bit intense so I'll let you read that for yourself at the original site... but here's out pics...




 Hope you've had a tasty week yourself!!!

About Me

I am a single mom to four amazing kids; each of whom just happen to have been adopted. The first three were adopted through foster care, and we just completed an international adoption from Haiti. Our family has grown through adoption and I am all the more blessed to know each of my children. I worship a mighty God, teach Special Ed, love bargains, and am inspired by Pinterest... come along with us for the ride!

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
