I WANT "MOORE" PEACHES

Bet you are wondering what I want "Moore" of? Well wonder no longer. It's Lance Moore! He has re-signed with the N O Saints for another 5 years..that is 5 years...60 months...1825 days of sweet eye candy! He definitely is easy on the eyes, don't you agree?



When I heard that he was staying I almost fell out on the ground!
Well not quite like that but you get the idea !



Now I am ready for football season to begin !!!

We are in the middle of redoing our entire living room. I wish I had taken some before pictures but I didn't! The sheet rock will be finished tomorrow hopefully, then the clean up begins so we can paint it and then on to laying the new wood floors. I cannot wait to see how it looks once it's all finished! I will post pictures of the finished product.....hopefully soon !

HUMP DAY AND BISCUITS !

I love HUMP DAY for 2 reasons...
reason #1..every other HUMP DAY I am off and
reason #2 every other HUMP DAY means only one more day to work until my Friday off...meaning a 3 day weekend!
Yes I know I am spoiled having to work only 4 days a week but I promise you this...
being a pediatric triage phone nurse takes it toll on ones nerves and sanity!
I don't know if I could actually do it 5 days in a row!
Perhaps I could but I would not be a nice person.
I pride myself in my job and I love doing what I do...just not 5 days a week!
This would be me...after those 5 days...


OR this?




Anyway...I am glad that tomorrow is MY Friday!
Now on to a great recipe!
My daughter-in-laws uncle makes these amazing biscuits that are to die for!
I searched and searched for his exact recipe and I forgot where I saved it.
So I found this one online and I am hoping the results are just as good!
They don't rise like regular buttermilk biscuits but I assure you,
they are mouthwatering!

SWEET POTATO BISCUITS

2 c. Bisquick
1 (16 oz.) can sweet potatoes
Dash of Cinnamon
Dash of Nutmeg
OR
Dash of Pumpkin pie spice


Drain sweet potatoes, reserving liquid. Mash them on a plate, using a fork. Mix Bisquick and mashed potatoes. Add several dashes of the spice at this time, if desired. There should be about 1 cup of reserved liquid. Slowly add it to biscuit mixture while stirring, until it is the proper consistency for biscuits. You can add a little water, if needed.Sprinkle more Bisquick on counter top and knead biscuits a few times. Pat or roll them to about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thickness. Cut the biscuits with round cookie cutter or the edge of a glass dipped in Bisquick.
Bake at 450 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned.

CAKE/CORN BREAD AND PHOTO SHOOTS

Last week, Addie and I picked up Zoe and Jillian for an adventure photo shoot!

Two 8.5 oz. boxes of Jiffy corn muffin mix
One 18.25 oz box of butter cake mix

Remove Twinkie cakes from wrappers. Cut each in half lengthwise from top to bottom. Place Twinkie halves in 9 x 13 baking dish with cream side facing up. Layer sliced bananas, pineapple, pudding, and Cool Whip over Twinkies in that order. Sprinkle chopped cherries (drained well on paper towels) and chopped pecans over the top. Keep refrigerated. Cool and refreshing dessert with no heat in the kitchen.
