Welcome! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed so you won't miss the Blarties (=blog+party) on the weekends. To find out more about our Blarties check out this post, too. Looking forward to seeing you on the weekends!

Hey All. Over the course of three months, give or take, I’ve had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with numerous readers and other bloggers from all over the world. I enjoy reading the comments as much as the posts, from this blog and the others I visit. Just like a kid with a new toy, I get excited when I open my email and see I have a comment.

Although I have a confession to make. When Angela asked me to start posting on her blog I was a bit skeptical and a little apprehensive, being somewhat in the dark about this whole blogging thing. Initially she had to walk me through the Wordpress steps until I got the hang of it. I still have to email her occasionally to ask a question when I get thrown a curve ball.

The last time this happened Angela was out of pocket (Hmmm…or maybe she wasn’t. LOL). So, I figured it out and emailed her back saying never mind, “I Did It All By Myself”. She replied, “You’re growing up Blog Baby!”

The recipe I’m sharing today almost went in the Round File. WAIT, don’t go anywhere! Not that it’s not good, it’s just so common to me and a lot of you may already be familiar with it. Then I recalled reading all the posts, comments, opinions, etc. on blogs from all over and decided, Oh what the heck! Just because it’s well known to me doesn’t mean everybody’s heard of it.

When I was introduced to this recipe, it was served as breakfast dish. Now I’ll be straight up with you. I’m not a breakfast, or a morning person. I jump-start the day with coffee and diet coke, both. However, during the Fall and Winter, when its cooler, I like to have breakfast for supper. Scrambled eggs, turkey polish sausage, hashbrown casserole, or grits and this Sausage, Cream Cheese Dish.

Brunch Casserole

1 Pound Ground Turkey Sausage*
1 – 8 Ounce Package Cream Cheese (I use 1/3 less Fat), softened
2 Packages Crescent Rolls (I use reduced Fat)
1 – 2 Tablespoons Butter, optional (I use Shedd’s Spread Country Crock Light)

Brown sausage in skillet, drain any fat. Mix the sausage, while warm and cream cheese together, blending well, set aside. In a 13”x9” pan, (I spray lightly with Pam) unroll and place one package of crescent rolls in bottom, pressing to seal the seams and slightly up the sides of the pan. Spread cream cheese mixture on top. Place remaining package of crescent rolls over top of cream cheese mixture, seal seams, and bake according to directions on crescent roll package; or until golden brown. Remove from oven and spread butter over top of crescent rolls until butter is completely melted. Serve for breakfast, brunch, or even as a snack.

*Use your choice of sausage; mild or hot pork sausage, turkey, or vegetarian (Gimme Lean). BTW, I don’t eat red meat, (beef or pork).

Bon Appetite

Blog Remodeling and Redecorating Starting This Week

Just a quick note to let you know starting this week I’ll be revamping some things on my blog. I’m ready to remodel and redecorate this house. Wish me luck because I’ve never tackled such an undertaking before. I’m sure this is going to be quite a Wordpress and blogging learning experience for me.

Depending on how smoothly this process progresses, there may or may not be a daily post. Speaking of daily posting, I’m going to back down to posting 3-5 times per week once it’s complete. I’m enjoying blogging and all I’m learning in the process, but I think I need to get some sunshine soon, real soon. My view of the outdoors has been limited in the last couple of months to the scene outside the window next to my desk. No sense in wasting summer.

So, if you visit and see weird looking things, you might want to subscribe (if you haven’t already, thank you :-) ) and come back later to see if my remodeling and redecorating along with what I have to share is worthy of your future attention. If you see something really messed up, I welcome and appreciate your comments and input. It would also be helpful if you will take the time to answer my poll question so I have a better idea of what you would like to see here in the future.

Off now to pray to the Wordpress gods…
