So, this left us in the dark for our Tis So Sweet meeting Sunday night! Luckily, it doesn't get dark outside until late.
Second, I started a new blog! Need weekly menu ideas? Check it out: MALLORY'S MENU
Honorable mention: I accidentally wore two different shoes to work one day. Seriously. This happened.
Luckily, I have these awesome ladies to keep me straight each week!! We had a great time getting together, sharing what's going on in our lives, and planning for our next and final two ministry projects before we wrap up this semester.

Such beautiful ladies with huge hearts! Love y'all so much!
I would like to brag a little and say that this week's recipes were REALLY good. With that, here are the recipes of the week!
PECAN PIE MUFFINS
Contributed by: Lauren
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups chopped pecans
2/3 cup butter, softened
2 eggs, beaten
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease mini or regular muffin cups generously (grease them well or they will stick). In a medium bowl, stir together brown sugar, flour and pecans. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and eggs together. Stir in dry ingredients just until combined. Spoon batter into muffin cups about 2/3 full. Bake for 12-13 minutes for mini muffins or 15-17 minutes for regular size muffins. Run a knife around the edge of each muffin and pop it out.
BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP
Contributed by: Belinda
2 large cans chicken breast, all white meat
1 bottle ranch dressing
2 - 8 oz pkgs cream cheese
1 cup Franks Red Hot sauce
8 oz shredded cheddar cheese
Tortilla chips
Preheat oven to 350F. Soften cream cheese and mix with ranch dressing until smooth. Add hot sauce and mix well. Drain the cans of chicken and break up the meat with a fork. Stir chicken and cheese into dressing mixture. Pour mixture into baking dish and bake uncovered at 350F for 45-60 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips.
HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE FROSTY ICE CREAM
Contributed by: Brandi
1/2 gallon chocolate milk
1 large tub Cool Whip
1 can condensed milk
Mix all ingredients and put in ice cream maker.
BREAKFAST WREATH
Contributed by: Mallory
4 slices bacon
5 large eggs
1 can Pillsbury crescent rolls
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Olive oil and poppy seeds
Cut 4 bacon strips in half length-side to make 8 short half-strips. Cook bacon in skillet so that it's cooked, but not crunchy (approx. 6-8 mins per side). Scramble all of the eggs using the greased skillet. Grease a cooking sheet. On the cooking sheet, roll out individual crescent triangles and make a star-like shape with the large ends of the triangle acting as the centers of the "star" and overlapping one another to form a hole in the center of the wreath (2 on top, 2 on bottom, and 2 on each side). Place the bacon strips on top of each triangle. Spoon the cooked eggs on top of the bacon strips, but not all the way out to the "points" of the "star", but rather, around the base of the "star" or the crescent wreath and top eggs with cheese. Carefully fold the "points" of the "star", with the bacon, over the eggs and cheese, into the center of the ring, and tuck underneath, slightly pinching in order to secure underneath. Brush top with olive oil and sprinkle poppy seeds. Bake at 375F for approx. 17 minutes or until golden brown.
RED LOBSTER CHEDDAR BAY BISCUITS
Contributed by: Laura
1 box Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix (see below)
3/4 cup cold water
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup butter
Preheat oven to 425F. Stir together water, cheese, and biscuit mix until dough forms (do not overmix). Scoop dough immediately into 8-10 portions (approx. 1/4 cup each) and place 2 inches apart onto greased or lined baking sheet. Bake 14-16 minutes or until golden brown on top. Melt butter in a microwave safe bowl, add garlic herb blend and stir until well blended. Spoon or brush 1 tsp garlic herb butter sauce onto each hot biscuit. Serve immediately.

Tonight, I leave you with two things:
1. A picture of my sweet Buddy
2. The Word of God
"...and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:20
Father, I thank you for the promises in your word that you are with us and within us. I pray that you would help us to slow down our pace at times and rest in the peace that you give us. In your name, Amen.
