Recipes from Pinterest

I saw these two recipes on Pinterest and I had to try them. I also had to stop myself from eating the whole things myself. They were Yummy. That's Yummy with a capital Y.

On the bread I substituted fresh garlic for mushroom because I'm not a mushroom fan. Also on the bread I bought a loaf from the bakery that was pre-seasoned with rosemary and olive oil.

Cheesy garlic, thyme pull apart bread

Mini apple pie roll ups.

The apple pie bites I'm sure would be better with homemade pie crusts but they're still yummers. Also, the recipe tells you to put them on parchment paper and then in the oven. Bad idea. The parchment paper smoked up my whole kitchen. I also learned that my smoke detector doesn't work...so blessing in disguise I guess! 

Here are the links to the recipes

The teachings of Jesus are a great treasure

This is the title of my Sunday School lesson for my 5-6 year olds tomorrow. The lesson suggested to have the children look around the room for a piece of paper hidden in a box. Since I had some extra time today I decided to make it a little more interesting. I'm sending the kids on a treasure hunt complete with a weathered, burned map. With help from my childhood memories and the internet I created this tutorial on how to make an awesome treasure map.

#1 With the kitchen faucet running and the 9 and the 1 already dialed on your cell, carefully burn the edges of a piece of paper.

#2 Lay the piece of paper on a cookie sheet. The internet recipe I found called for a cup of coffee or black tea. In true LDS fashion, I substituted hot chocolate. I didn't make mine quite dark enough though. Add lots of mix or cocoa. Pour the drink onto the cookie sheet. Just enough that the paper is soaked. Drain the remaining liquid left in the pan.

#3 Bake the paper in the oven at 200 degrees for 5 minutes

#4 Draw an awesome treasure map!

For those of you burning with curiosity, the treasure in this box is a picture of the scriptures.
