Apple Fritter Bread Love...:)

Hi, everyone...


I hope you are having nice weather where you live.

We've  had lots of wind and sand....
Please pray for rain for all the dryness.

Come summertime, the winds usually die down ....we are in such a drought...need rain so much.

 I've posted about this amazing 
APPLE FRITTER BREAD from WALMART (of all places) before.

It is sooo good.

(I won that amazing CUTTING BOARD about 2 years ago on a blog that,
I'm ashamed to say, I can't remember the name of....
I sure do love it, too.

You might want to pick up a few loaves of this tasty bread to have during the holidays
 for guests breakfasts...
great served with orange juice, hot coffee and fruits of all kinds.


 I generally sprinkle a little more cinnamon
on each slice...after I butter it.

 (some of you might remember that I found this darling, POTTERY BARN
set in a thrift store last year.....
I danced so hard up to the cash register, I was totally out of breath...:)
and, yes, I got very strange looks....:)

 ANYway...


 after I slice off what Mr. Sweet and I want for breakfast,




I love a jello fruit cup with my toasted Apple Fritter bread....
sooo good.




HOPE




























OCTOBER was Breast Cancer Awareness Month
but we should think about it all year long...
and pray for all victims of all kinds of cancer.

Prayers saved Mr. Sweet 4 times when he had cancers....
I know, FIRST HAND, that prayers WORK.
Thanks for joining me in prayer for cures of ALL cancer.

COLORFUL BAKING .....









 Gosh, I'm having fun, cooking and baking in our new kitchen...

I have a lot of COLOR going on in this pretty kitchen with the BLACK granite countertops
that are so shiny, they act as a mirror...



 I took a bag of little BABY MUFFINS
out of the freezer today...











and, then I remembered I had some cute little CHRISTMAS
cupcake papers left...

 To me, the BABY CUPCAKES look twice as delicious in their cute little 
cupcake holders.....

and, I'm thinkin', they are REALLY going to look delicious
when they are ICED....


I am always SOOO glad when I find things in my freezer that I'd forgotten about...

ESPECIALLY when it's something SWEET...!!

MACRO...

Macro
Computer science
A macro in computer science is a rule or pattern that specifies how a certain input sequence should be mapped to a replacement output sequence according to a defined procedure. Wikipedia

WHAAAT..??
Do YOU ever jump off into something so deep and "above your head"
that you fear you will surely drown...??
I am not a photographer and have never claimed to be.
I shoot all my photos with a hundred dollar point and shoot  KODAK...
...no extra lens or any other bells and whistles.

I learned of a monthly link party thru my friend, VEE,
and it intrigued me enuf to give it a TRY.
A Personal Photo Challenge.

I've never even heard of the word MACRO...
Googled it and STILL not sure what it means.
however...
I did see "greater than life image" and thought, OK,......

What I am about to share may or may not be a Macro photo...
to my simple way of thinking, it seems to be MICRO photography,
but then,
WHAT DO I KNOW....?




 OK, now if I've made a fool of myself by posting photos that have NOTHING to do 
with todays party,

I am  hanging my head in shame...

kicking dirt clods...

twisting my hair....

and sayin', "I had fun ANYway...!!"

This is an awesome party that has left my head spinning.



If they throw me out of this MACRO PARTY, can I come over to your house for 
TEA and SCONES...??
(or COFFEE and an OREO..?)




No matter what...
  THE ABOVE is a  SURE sign of SPRING
out here on the Plains of West Texas.

Doesn't this look GOOOD.......





It looked so good to moi that I made it for our dinner....
we LOVE breakfast for dinner.

This luscious dish is made with CRESCENT ROLLS
and so easy and so delicious.

It just blows my olden mind, the things you can do with
CANNED CRESCENT ROLLS
CANNED BISCUITS
CANNED CINNAMON ROLLS
FROZEN BREAD LOAVES

sooo many things in the grocery store now that can be used for fast, tasty treats.
Any one of these can make you
SHINE IN THE KITCHEN...!


 I took MY
BACON EGG CHEESE CRESCENT BAKE
a little further by adding some things to the scrambled eggs that we LOVE.

Hot Sauce
Chopped Onion
Black Pepper

and you could add chopped MUSHROOMS....but I was out of them...
O, and CILANTRO would be AMAZING in this recipe.

The only PROBLEM I had with this dish....


...mine turned out SOOO  UGLY  !!


I didn't look at HER photo close enuf to see that
you are supposed to just FOLD OVER each crescent roll...

I tried to ROLL mine, full of bacon, cheese, eggs....
and it didn't make for a
BEAUTIFUL BACON EGG CHEESE CRESCENT ROLL...
AT ALL...!!!!

THESE PHOTOS are to show ya'll that I have TRAIN WRECKS in the kitchen
all the time !!!

BUT....HEY....

I CAN make a BEAUTIFUL


pan of
 SOUR CREAM CORN BREAD.....
heh heh heh.....
(having a great pan for cornbread helps things along...)

Hugs to all of you.....and thanks so much for stopping by.

WHEW...Nesting is hard work..!!


We started the day off with a skillet of buttermilk biscuits....

and it's a good thing we did.
They, with a poached egg and a little RASPBERRY Jelly, gave us the energy we needed to
WORK  ALL  DAY.....!!

After I moved the black vintage hutch to the CLOSET ROOM,

we brought in the vintage, 1930's dressing table or vanity...not sure what they were called.

 Mr. Sweet bought this little dresser/table/vanity
several years ago and I've never really known what in the heck to do with it...

The scale is so small and most of my other furniture is larger...

and I don't know just what to put on it....

I CAN see it needs olden photos...a pretty young girl with a ribbon in her hair....a handsome sailor ....tucked into the mirror frames.
Maybe she is waiting for him to come home on leave and they are planning to marry...

I'm sure not liking what's on it right now...other than the little cup full of my mama's paint brushes...




and I remembered her pink jewelry box....


ok, these will work for now....!

moving on to .....
 Moving the dresser in meant the English Chest of Drawers had to be moved
clear across the room....
(Nothing is ever EASY)


This chest, bought years ago at an Estate Sale, is one of my favorite pieces...

and I've moved it all over this SUMMER HOUSE.

I like it in the bedroom....

and decided to enjoy my blue and white tea set by displaying it for awhile.

Does it seem weird to have a tea set in the bedroom...?

Well... I'm still moving things around here and there...then
I forget where they are....
so when I find them....I use them. hahaaa....
 AIN'T  LIFE  GRAND  !!!

Love to all....

They Blew up in the fridge.......

soooo.....I HAD to cook them.


 Some of you may remember that I bought these amazing rolls
and baked the CHERRY and, ummmmm, GOOOD.

My Pecan Caramel can got pushed behind something else and I forgot them.
Now, I know that I'm probably the ONLY one on the planet that this has happened to...
right...???














xoxo,
bj

OOO, and between the CHERRY and the PECAN CARAMEL....
PECAN CARAMEL won out by a mile....!!!

I'm using son's ipad and can't compose posts with it. I'll be posting drafts until my new laptop arrives. Also...there's away too many photos in this post but don't see how to delete them...sorry, friends.
