Sopapilla Cheesecake

YUM! I love this stuff! I'm not sure where the recipe came from originally. I wish I could give credit to whomever came up with it. I've had this several times, but I can't remember the first time I had it. I kinda think it may have been Stacy who made it in college, but forgive me if that's wrong. In any case, if you don't already have the recipe, here it is...

Sopapilla Cheesecake
Ingredients:
2 cans crescent rolls
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 pkgs of 8oz cream cheese
1 stick butter


Directions:

Use a 9 x 13 glass pan. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Press one can of crescent rolls into the bottom of the pan...like a crust. Mix all the cream cheese, 1 cup of the sugar, and the teaspoon of vanilla until it's smooth and creamy. Spread the mixture over the crescent dough in the pan. Cover the mixture with the other can of rolls. Melt the butter and stir in the rest of the sugar and cinnamon. Pour over the top and bake for 30 minutes. Enjoy!

Great Buys

Best snack in the world - I love Sam's Cinnamon sugar pretzels! They are soooo good. I think they are even better than the ones from Antie Ann's in the mall...and they are only 97 cents. This is my treat pretty much every time I go to Joplin. If you haven't had one yet, you're missing out.

Bath and Body Works - I've been trying not to spend money and it's been pretty easy, especially since there aren't any stores in Miami. However, I knew it was time for their big sale. I decided I wouldn't go, but then I got this email today for an extra $10 off and I couldn't resist any more. I got some really good deals. These little votive candles were only 31 cents! I'm burning one right now and it smells really good! :) Feel free to click on the link and use the coupon too.

JoAnn's Fabric - JoAnn's is also having a huge sale. I've been hearing great things about these scissors and I've been wanting a pair. However, they were a little more that I wanted to spend. Well, here's another coupon that saved me some money! I went ahead and bought them and I can't wait to try them out! They are special scissors that you use for appliques.




Softball - Last night we had a couple of softball games. This is a pic from before the games. We did pretty bad and lost both...oh well.
I'm going to go test out my new scissors and make something. I hope you are all having a great week!

Tuesday

I'm taking a break from sewing and thought I'd share a few things...
1. The coupon for a flatbread sandwich. I get some good coupons every now and then. I'll start passing them along to you.
2. The video at the bottom of my page. I came across this and thought it was pretty funny. I don't know how to link it into one of the blog entries, so for now it's just at the bottom of my page.
3. Here's a picture of the quilt I'm working on. It's pretty big and I couldn't quite get it all in the picture, but you get the general idea. The sashing is a diagonal black and white plaid and the back is solid black. I'm hand tying the corners this afternoon. Tomorrow I'll hand sew the binding and then it will be finished!4. I'm also adding some coupon links over in the link section. The radio stations offer a 1/2 off coupon every week. Sometimes they are really good. I did this all the time in OKC. So far I've only found one that does it in Joplin.

Softball in Kansas

We got to play in a coed softball tournament yesterday in Kansas. It was so much fun! The weather was perfect and we got to play with some really fun people. We played on a smaller field, which was nice. I played in the outfield and didn't have such a huge area to cover. We had some great players on our team and ended up winning the tournament...I even hit one over the fence. Ha! I think I was probably the most surprised by that. The only bad part of the day was the awful tan lines that I came home with. I put lots of sunscreen on, but somehow I still burned. Does sunscreen go bad? Maybe that was the problem. I don't know. It just looks like I have on red tights and white ankle socks now. I don't think the picture does it justice.

Big John's Catfish

Chad and I went on a motorcycle ride the other night and ate at this really good place in Grove near Grand Lake. I think it was called Big John's Catfish. Anyway, the food was really good and it was great to be back on the bike. We haven't been able to ride much because of all the rain. If you've never been on a motorcycle, it reminds me a lot of being on a seadoo or something. It's so fun to feel the wind all around you. I love it! Here's a pic of the toilet at Big John's... made me laugh.

New Items!!

I've posted several new items in my online store www.PlaidPeach.etsy.com I'm offering free shipping on several items through Saturday. I'll be posting some aprons tomorrow and then I think I'll have everything up to date. I hope you all are having a great week!
