Sunday Songs

~A Beautiful Life~

Each day I’ll do a golden deed,
By helping those who are in need,
My life on earth is but a span,
And so I’ll do the best I can,The best I can.

Refrain
Life’s evening sun is sinking low,
A few more days and I must go
To meet the deeds that I have done,
Where there will be no setting sun.

To be a child of God each day,
My light must shine along the way;
I’ll sing His praise while ages roll
And strive to help some troubled soul,
Some troubled soul.

Refrain

The only life that will endure,
Is one that’s kind and good and pure;
And so for God I’ll take my stand,
Each day I’ll lend a helping hand,
A helping hand.

Refrain

I’ll help someone in time of need,
And journey on with rapid speed;
I’ll help the sick and poor and weak,
And words of kindness to them speak,
Kind words I’ll speak.

Refrain

While going down life’s weary road,
I’ll try to lift some traveler’s load;
I’ll try to turn the night to day,
Make flowers bloom along the way,
The lonely way.

Refrain

Simple Saturday Sweetness

~sleeping in and then waking up to a temperature of 20 degrees!~

~a pot of chocolate raspberry coffee~

~NO line at the Shipley's drivethru~
(probably because nobody else was crazy

enough to be out in the 20 degree weather!)

~making some gingerbread cookie dough,

in between house showings~

and...

~a cowboys playoff win!~

Keepin' Warm

We've been having some real winter weather around here! Twenty four hours straight of below freezing temps. If I'm not serving a soup or stew when it's cold out, it's usually Italian on the menu. It just seems like such a warming, cozy choice for supper when the wind's a blowin'. :-)

chicken parmesan

ceasar salad

and focaccia bread

Mmmmmm!
Roaring fire optional, but encouraged. ;-)

Stay warm! :-)

Cheese Filled Coffee Cake

Cheese Filled Coffee Cake

(from Taste of Home magazine)

4 loaves

4-1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1/2 cup water
2 eggs
for filling
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
for glaze
2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Combine 1-1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a small saucepan, heat the sour cream, butter and water to 120°-130°; add to dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add eggs and 1/2 cup flour; beat 2 minutes longer. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough. Do not knead. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

In a small bowl, beat filling ingredients until smooth; set aside. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; divide into four pieces. Roll each into a 12-in. x 8-in. rectangle.

Spread filling to within 1/2 in. of edges.

Roll up, jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seams to seal and tuck ends under. Place, seams side down, on two greased baking sheets. With a sharp knife, make deep slashes across the top of each loaf. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over warm loaves. Cool. Refrigerate leftovers and enjoy!

Cheese Savories

(from The Laura Ingalls Wilder Country Cookbook)

about 18 pieces

1/4 pound sharp cheddar cheese, cut in small cubes

1/4 cup butter, cut in small pieces

1/2 cup flour

pinch of salt

paprika

Cream cheese and butter in food processor. Add flour and salt and process until combined. From cheese mixture into 1 inch balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and refrigerate several hours. Sprinkle with paprika and bake at 450 for 8 to 10 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy!

I don't have a food processor, so I grated the cheese and butter and blended it with the flour and salt. I did have to add about 1 tablespoon of milk to get the balls to form.

I served these to my family for breakfast with bacon and potatoes o'brien. They gobbled them right up!

Sunday Songs

~This Is My Father's World~

This is my Father’s world, and to my listening ears

All nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres.

This is my Father’s world: I rest me in the thought

Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;

His hand the wonders wrought.

This is my Father’s world, the birds their carols raise,

The morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker’s praise.

This is my Father’s world: He shines in all that’s fair;

In the rustling grass I hear Him pass;He speaks to me everywhere.

This is my Father’s world. O let me ne’er forget

That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet.

This is my Father’s world: the battle is not done:

Jesus Who died shall be satisfied,

And earth and Heav’n be one.
