5 Months And Counting...

     Little Miss Kinley is growing up so fast, she's 5 Months today!  Here's are her monthly pictures....

Raspberry Lemonade Bars

     Since it's still February I thought why not make one more pink dessert before the month is over, so I found this recipe for Raspberry Lemonade Bars on the back of a Pillsbury Pink Lemonade Premium Cookie Mix which I thought I would try out.  And to my surprise it was actually great!  Here's how I made them...

Ingredients:

No-Stick Cooking spray

1 package Pillsbury Pink Lemonade Flavored Cookie Mix

1/2 cup butter (1stick), softened

1/3 cup Seedless Red Raspberry Jam

1 (8oz) package of Cream Cheese, softened 

1/4 cup sugar

1 large egg

Preparation:

Heat oven to 350 degrees, Coat a 9inch square baking pan with No-Stick cooking spray.

Combine cookie mix and butter in a bowl using a fork until crumbly.

Reserve 3/4 cup crumbs for topping.

Press remaining mixture evenly into bottom of prepared baking pan.  

Bake for 10 minutes.

Spread jam evenly over partially baked crust.

Beat cream cheese, sugar, and egg in a medium bowl 

with electric mixer until smooth.  

Spoon over jam to cover.

Sprinkle with reserved crumbs.

Bake 20-25 minutes. Cool completely on wire rack.  

Chill 1 hour then cut into bars.

Hope you enjoy them!

Rollie Pollie Ollie

Well as of February 18th we have a rollie pollie.  Kinley is officially rolling around!  Every time she does it she gets a huge grin, she's so proud of herself!

Valentine Pizza Party

     The hubby, Kinley, and I joined Liam in celebrating Valentine's Day at his school with a Pizza party.  It was a lot of fun, the kiddos sung the families and friends a few songs, exchanged Valentines, then we dined on Pizza and Veggies for lunch followed by some yummy cupcakes and brownies.  We all had a great time!

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone

     Hope you and your valentine had a wonderful day...I celebrated mine with my Little Sweethearts and my Love.

We started the day off with Heart Shaped Cinnamon Rolls 

and Strawberry Hearts for Breakfast

For Lunch Liam enjoyed Heart shaped 

Turkey Sandwiches, Cheese, Pringles, and Pineapple.
