Sunday's are my favorite. Why you ask?? Because I can come home from church and put on comfy clothes, AKA, pajamas and remain in them all day without feeling an ounce of guilt :) we don't do this every Sunday. But TODAY, that's exactly what I did. After service I got really excited when I remembered the all natural cinnamon rolls that were taking residence in our fridge. I just HAD to make them before they went bad ;) so Ryan and I grubbed on those and some over easy eggs for brunch when we got home. And ever since then we have been bumming around watching movies and sitting on our porch. I even made some snickerdoodle cookies for Ryan to snack on...I might have had some too, gotta make sure their cooked right ;) I'm learning to take in days like these and enjoy them as much as possible. Life is so good and I don't want to forget the simple treasure like Sunday brunch in my pj's with my handsome man. This is a quick post because I'm gonna go finish watching a western with Ryan...his choice of movie, I'm learning to like em' :) Adios!
Here is a snickerdoodle picture and the recipe to go with it :).
1 1/2 cup unbleached white flour
1 cup organic sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp cinnamon
2 eggs
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
You can add cream of tartar for thickness and to make them crack but I didn't have any and they still came out delicious!
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes..Pour a glass of milk and ENJOY!
It's true....I NEED to have quality time with Ryan to keep myself sane :) It's so funny, because he could be gone for the weekend fishing and I get SO bored and even a little sad when he is only away for one night. We are perfect for each other because he loves that I am this way...I think it makes him feel special ;) Well this weekend was JUST what we needed. May was a busy..let me repeat..BUSY month for us. We hadn't had a weekend with just us at home in a long time.
To kick off the weekend I made us some peanut butter banana pancakes...actually I made MYSELF peanut butter banana pancakes and Ryan I made traditional pancakes. He's a plain jane pancake kinda guy. They were so good. My mouth is watering as I post this picture. Seriously...YUMM-O!
After our tummies were fully satisfied we were out the door to explore Beorne, TX. It's nice that we only live ten minutes away because (A) There are so many fun things to do in Beorne, and (B) Ryan's office is out there...convenient! So we headed to the Herf Farmer's Market. They had so many great organic produce, fresh eggs, meat, and even organic doggy biscuits. Poor Bella had to miss out on those since we didn't bring cash or her to come enjoy the fun. Now we know for next time! We met a man, who Ryan actually did a bid for last week, who raises cows and we are buying 20 lbs of grass fed beef from him this week! First thing on my list tomorrow is to get a deep freeze freezer to store it all :) I am so excited! After exploring the famer's market, Ryan and I went to downtown Beorne to antique shop...one of the few types of shopping that my husband enjoys! Ryan has recently been able to get out and play some golf so he was inspired when he came across tons of old golfing gear.
And while I was browsing through old dishes, furniture, and goodies....I
slurped down my iced chai tea late from Bear Moon Cafe. It was so
good. Do yourself a favor and go buy one when you are in the area!
On Sunday we had a pretty restful day around the house. It was wonderful. I bought some goodies from a bakery in Beorne that Ryan and I ate while watching We Are Marshall. Then we wrapped up the weekend with going to a free Kari Jobe concert at Cornerstone Church. We love her music and the fact that it was free was a huge bonus! She played "The More I Seek You" last night....such a great song! The Lord always draws me into him with those lyrics. I love being romanced by him...and being able to worship with Ryan last night was wonderful. My heart is full. Here is the link to the song. Enjoy!
