Recipes of the Week...
Trisha Yearwood’s Daddy's Biscuits
4 tablespoons vegetable shortening
2 cups self-rising flour
¾ cup buttermilk, well shaken
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick cooking
spray. Using a pastry blender or two table knives, cut the shortening into the
flour until it resembles coarse meal. Use a fork to stir in the buttermilk to make a
soft dough, or until the dough comes together and leaves the sides of the bowl.
Continue stirring with the fork until all the flour is worked into the dough, then
turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead 3 or 4 times until
smooth and manageable. With your hands or a floured rolling pin, flatten the
dough to a thickness of ½ inch. Cut the dough with a 2 ½-inch floured biscuit
cutter. Place the rounds on the baking sheet 1 inch apart for crisp biscuits or
almost touching for softer biscuits. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly
browned.

CROCKPOT MACARONI AND CHEESE
Credit: Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood
8 ounces elbow macaroni, cooked (I didn't cook mine, just threw it in with
everything else)
1 12 ounce can evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups whole milk
2 large eggs, beaten
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
dash of pepper
2 10 ounce bricks sharp cheddar cheese, grated (about 5 cups)
dash of paprika
In a large 4-quart crockpot sprayed with cooking spray, mix the macaroni, milks,
eggs, butter, salt, pepper, and all but 1/2 cup of the grated cheese. Sprinkle the
reserved cheese over the top of the mixture and then sprinkle with paprika.
Cook on low heat for 3 hours and 15 minutes.

Sopapilla Cheesecake
2 cans, 8 count crescent rolls
½ cup butter or margarine, melted
3 8oz packages cream cheese
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1½ cups sugar
½ cup sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla
In a greased (use margarine or Pam) 9x13 dish, layer 1 can of crescent rolls.
Pinch seams together to form a solid crust. Mix 3 - 8 oz. packages of cream
cheese with 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla; spread over crescent
rolls. Layer a second can of crescent rolls over the cream cheese layer,
pinching seams together. Melt 1 stick of margarine and pour over crescent rolls.
Mix 1/2 cup of sugar with about 1 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle over top.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Store in refrigerator after it cools. Serve chilled with
a garnish of honey if desired.
Notes: Can be made with reduced fat crescent rolls and reduced fat cream
cheese – just be sure to grease or spray pan well if reduced fat crescent rolls
are used. Can use a little more vanilla – up to a teaspoon – if desired. Be sure
top crust completely covers cream cheese layer. May have to roll out on wax
paper and then invert onto cream cheese layer to obtain coverage.

Mountain Moving Faith
During the War, a US marine was separated from his unit. The fighting had
been intense, and he had lost touch with his comrades. Alone in the hills, he
could hear enemy soldiers coming his way. He found a cave and crawled inside.
Although safe for the moment, he realized that once the enemy soldiers looking
for him swept up the ridge, they would search all the caves and he’d be killed.
He prayed, "Lord, please protect me. I love you and trust you. Amen." After
praying, he lay quietly listening to the enemy draw close. He lacked faith & really
thought the Lord wasn’t going to help him. Then he saw a spider begin to build
a web over the front of his cave. He thought ‘what I need is a brick wall & the
Lord has sent me a spider web.’ As the enemy drew closer he watched from the
darkness & could see them searching one cave after another. As they came to
his, to his amazement after glancing in the direction of his cave, they moved on.
He realized why. The web over the entrance made it look like no one had
entered for a while. He prayed, "Lord, forgive me, I had forgotten that in You a
spider's web is stronger than a brick wall." "In God we will have success!"
Nehemiah 2:20. Whatever is happening in your life, just speak His name & His
word and you will see His power. The words you speak in Jesus name have
POWER!

Amazing Video...
This lion that was raised by 2 guys in London in the 70's. When he was a year
old they realized he needed more room, so they took him to Africa and released
him in the wild. A year later they came back to see if they could find him & if he'd
remember them, wait till you see what happens!
