Cinnamon Pullaparts

Need something quick and easy for Easter morning breakfast? This is a good easy sweetbread that they kids can even help you make.That is if your not squeamish about the mixture of dough, butter, cinnamon sugar and little people.

One word of advice though…do eat some of the hard boiled eggs first, or you’ll never leave room. This little thing is mighty tasty, and once you start…it will be hard to stop!

You can even feed it to the baby birds.

 

Ingredients

3 cans (7.5 oz. each) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
3/4 cup  granulated sugar
1 Tbsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 cup  (1 stick) butter or margarine, melted
4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup  powdered sugar
1 to 2 Tbsp. milk

HEAT oven to 350°F.

CUT each biscuit into quarters.

MIX granulated sugar and cinnamon in medium bowl. Add dough quarters, in batches; toss to coat.

PLACE 1/2 the biscuit pieces in greased 12-cup fluted tube pan; drizzle with 1/2 the butter. Repeat. Sprinkle with any remaining cinnamon-sugar. Bake 40 to 45 min. or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean and top is golden brown. Cool in pan 5 min.; invert onto serving plate. Remove pan.

BEAT cream cheese and powdered sugar in small bowl with mixer until well blended. Add 1 Tbsp. milk and a few drops of food coloring; beat until well blended. Blend in enough of the remaining milk until glaze is of desired consistency. Drizzle over warm bread.

Storytime for Baby Birds

Update continued…

New Year’s Goal #4–  I will read 4 picture books a week to a couple of sweet babies who love books, or to a hatchling that is about to.

This one is easy–a given, in fact. Oh, and I’ve got the books all right…from the early days when I worked at a local bookstore and had an incurable possession problem. Alas, a few symptoms still linger. Afraid it’s cronic. There is no cure.

Little Chick’s Easter Surprise

Although the twins–Lily and Beckham are only about 14 months old, they still love to climb up on a lap–any lap, and have someone show them, page by page every picture, in any book.

Each Peach, Pear, Plum

But since they are still at that “board books only” phase, that severely limits the coolness and magic that Grammy can share with them…for now.

The Relative’s Came

When they are older and not so fascinated with how paper sounds–when it rips–just think of the possibilities…

“Stand Back,” Said the Elephant, “I’m Going To Sneeze”

The Red Lion

I could go on for days…but we’ll pause here…to anticipate.

Tough stuff–this patience thing. We’ll be brave.


Because any kind of magic is worth the wait.

The Elusive Year Supply

Now, where were we before all the drama?
Ahhh yes…

Those pesky goals:

New Year’s Goal #3

“I will buy at least one food storage or emergency item every week even if it’s just a can of beans.”

Yeah, yeah. Big plans. But too boring to keep my interest very long. Then I checked in my files and found an old handout from Relief Society–years back. If you have already seen it–good. If not, this should help. It’s titled, “One Year Food Storage on $5.00 Per Week.”

The idea is to use roughly 5-10 dollars of your grocery money toward a storage item (suggested here) and in 1 year, you’ll have a decent, basic supply for 2 people. I’ll post the whole handout as a printable PDF (see below) and then give the prompts here each Friday.

Oh, and since the grocery prices are always fluctuating–AND this is an old handout–be a bit forgiving if the items cost a dollar or two more here and there. You’ll still be working on a great project for about the same amount as lunch at Wendy’s.

So—let’s get started!

This week’s food storage prompt is: Two cans tuna, 2 lbs. salt

“The revelation to store food may be as

important to our temporal salvation today

as boarding the Ark was to the people

in the days of Noah.”

Ezra Taft Benson

One Year Food Storage on $5-10 Per Week Handout

Speaking of Noah—have you seen this? See below…

New Stuff…

Hey! Check out the quote do-dad on the side bar here—–>

Stare at it for a minute–or just read the quote…HA! Did you see it change? It’s set to scroll through a few different quotes every 10-15 seconds. Isn’t that cool?

Oh, my clever daughter…and modern technology.
