Ressurrection Rolls

In celebration of Easter, this year we made Ressurrection Rolls as a family on Saturday night before Easter morning. Not only was it a great teaching lesson, they are soooo yummy!

Ressurrections Rolls

Ingredients:

1 can refrigerated cresent roll dough

8 large marshmallows

melted butter

cinnamon sugar

Directions:

- Give each person one triangle shaped section of the cresent roll.

This represents the tomb

- Each person takes one marshmallow.

This represents the Body of Christ

-Dip the marshmallows in the butter and roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

This represents the oils and spices the Body of Christ was annointed with upon burial.

-Lay the marshamallow on the dough and carefully wrap it around the marshmallow. Make sure all the seams are pinches together well. (This is very important, otherwise the marshmallow will "ooze" out of the seams.)

-We put the rolls in the cold, dark oven

Which represents the tomb in which they placed the Body of Christ

-Bake according to package directions on Easter morning.

-When ready to eat, break open the tomb and the Body of Christ is no longer there!!!

We pray that each of you had a wonderful Resurrection Day!

Snow Cream

Here in South Carolina we are snowed in with about 7 inches of snow on the ground. We have had a wonderful day to home together resting and playing. The snow was not so great for making a snowman, but it was perfect for making SNOW CREAM.

What you need:

Snow
(When we are expecting snow, I usually put a big bowl out on the picnic table to collect the snow for our snow cream.)

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla flavoring

milk (not pictured)

Mix the sugar, vanilla and sweetened condensed milk well.

Once mixed, pour that mixture over your bowl of snow. Begin stirring the snow and sugar mixture adding milk as needed to make it smooth and creamy.

Mix well and then enjoy this yummy winter time treat with your family. As you can see, I made a big batch of snow cream today to share with our neighbors and to put in the freezer. Travis and I are getting ready to enjoy another bowl once the kids go to bed.

I have to give credit to my mother-in-law for teaching me how to make snow cream. I don't remember having it growing up and I don't think we did since my sister called me this afternoon to ask me how to make it...

Enjoy!!!!!
