My family, my ministry

My wonderful friend Mariann and I were joking around last week when my sweet Emma was misbehaving, and she humorously reminded me that "(My) family is (my) ministry!" Even though I laughed at the time, I knew she was right: what an INCREDIBLE opportunity I have to make a difference in the lives of the two people who matter the most to me--Dan and Emma!

That being said, one way that I love to show love to my amazing husband is by cooking for him. They say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, and that cliche` is SO TRUE for Dan! And here is a great (and so easy, but not at all healthy) recipe to love on your family--courtesy of Beth Moore's blog!

Sopapilla Cheesecake

Ingredients:
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese
2 (8 oz) packages refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

1 teaspoon vanilla extract or almond extract
1/2 cup margarine or butter, melted
1/2 cup cinnamon sugar (combine about 1/2 cup sugar with 1 TBS cinnamon)

1)Using a 9x13 baking pan, unroll one package of refrigerated crescent rolls and line the bottom of the pan.
2) Flatten.
3) Mix together the cream cheese, sugar, and extract.
4) Spread over the crescent rolls.
5) Unroll the other can of crescent rolls and place on top of cream cheese mixture.
6) Pour one stick of melted butter or margarine over the top and sprinkle with about 1/2 cup of the cinnamon sugar mixture.

We all loved this recipe! Thank you so much, Beth Moore!
