Churro Cheesecake.

Yes, yet another churro recipe. What can I say, I just LOVE me some churros! The best part about this recipe is it's only six ingredients! Can't get much easier than that. This is such an easy and simple recipe to make for the holidays, it's sure to be a hit. It sure was a hit in my house!



Ingredients:

• (2) 8 oz packages cream cheese, softened
• (2) cans Pillsbury Crescent Dinner Rolls
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp ground cinnamon 
• 1 cup sugar, divided
• 1 egg, slightly beaten

Directions: 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 

Using a stand or hand mixer, mix the cream cheese, vanilla extract, slightly beaten egg and 1/2 cup of sugar until creamy and smooth. 

Mix together the rest of the 1/2 cup sugar with the cinnamon and set aside. 

Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray (I used coconut oil spray) and sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly on the bottom of the dish. 

On a piece of parchment paper, roll out the crescent roll dough into a 9x13 rectangle and seal the seams together. Set the dough in the bottom of the baking dish, on top of the cinnamon sugar mix. 

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on top of the dough. 

Roll out the second can of dough and place it on top of the cream cheese mixture also making sure the seams are sealed. 

Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the dough and bake for 30-35 minutes. 


I hope you enjoy it as much and my family did. Happy cooking! 

XOXO, E.

Adventure World.

When you have children, the park is always a great place to let those little humans run like wild beasts and tire themselves out. Even kids who are "too big" for nap time tend to fall asleep on the car ride home. It's like magic. We love the park!

Here are a few pictures from our most recent visit to the park. 


Luke is getting pretty daring. He's always been our cautious and serious little one. He has such an old soul, it's so sweet seeing him become so adventurous. I find myself staring at him and wondering how the heck he's grown so fast. He's the perfect little boy. 



Lillian is the complete opposite of her brother. She's daring, rambunctious and doesn't like the word "no." If you tell her not to do something, she's going to do it just so she can find out why you didn't want her to. Simply put, she's our little handful. She sure does love her brother though. Seeing them together just melts my heart. 


I made them. Isn't that amazing?! God chose me to be their mom. He chose me to be their safe place. It's pretty awesome. ❤️
