EASY CHEESE DANISH
Ingredients:
2 cans of crescent rolls
1 8oz package of cream cheese at room temp.
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
3/4 tsp vanilla
1 tsp sour cream
Preheat the oven to 350. Place a sheet of parchment paper on cookie sheet or baking pan. Open the crescent rolls carefully so as not to tear the dough. Do not unroll...you will need to leave it in it's cylindrical shape. Slice the dough into pieces about 1/4 inch thick (as though you're slicing cookie dough). Place the slices on a cookie sheet. Now press the center in to make an indentation for the cream cheese filling. In a large mixing bowl, mix together the cream cheese, regular sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and sour cream. Add a dollop of the mixture to the indentation you made in each circle of dough. I find that about a tbsp works well, but you can use as little or as much as you like. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes. While the danish are baking, you can make a quick royal icing to drizzle over the tops.
Drizzle for top:
1 cup confectioner's sugar
1 tbsp milk 1 tbsp softened butter
Mix together the confectioner's sugar, milk and butter in a small bowl. Use a spoon to drizzle it over the tops of the danish, or you can put it into a small zip-top bag and snip of the corner for an easy "piping bag." Take the danish out of the oven and allow them to cool for 10-15 minutes before icing.

How do you use vinegar?
1. Meat Tenderizer: If you always end up with dry or tough meat, try pouring a little vinegar into your marinade or into the roasting pan. The acid in the vinegar will help to break down the meat and you’ll end up with a deliciously tender dinner. {Tomatoes and onions will also work}.
2. Drain “Un-Clogger”: Mix vinegar with baking soda and salt for an inexpensive, chemical-free way to clear a clogged drain.
3. Mattress Cleaner: Remove dirt and stains from your mattress by blotting with a clean cloth dipped in vinegar. If the spot is still damp, simply sprinkle a little baking soda over the area and vacuum it up. I love this tips because I’m SUPER grossed out by mattresses! Maybe it’s because of all the recent “bed bug” talk.
4. Fabric Softener: I tried this out for the very first time last week and it worked GREAT! All I did was add about 1/4 c. to the fabric softener dispenser {along with my regular detergent} and the clothes came out clean, soft, and smelling great — believe me, you can’t smell the vinegar at all. Also, if your towels start to smell a little dingy, this vinegar tip should do the trick! I learned that you can also use vinegar in place of laundry detergent to remove the soapy build-up that dulls clothes over time!
5. Rust Remover: Believe it or not, vinegar can help to loosen rust! Just pour a little vinegar on a suborn rusty screw and it should come right out.
6. Hand Cleaner: Simply pour a bit of vinegar over your hands if they smell like onions, garlic, or if they are stained from berries. Then wash with soap and water to remove the vinegar smell.
7. Weed Killer: Looking for a natural way to kill unwanted grass and weeds? Try heating some white vinegar until it’s hot, but not boiling. Then pour it on cracks in your driveway, sidewalks, or anywhere else you want to kill stray grass and weeds.
8.Kitchen Disinfectant: If you’re a bit leery of using harsh chemicals in your kitchen, try vinegar instead. It’s a natural disinfectant and totally safe around food. Just pour undiluted vinegar into a spray bottle and use on all your hard surface.
9. Hair “Shiner”: After a few weeks {or years} of shampooing and conditioning, your hair might be a little dull. Restore the shine by following your normal shower routine with a vinegar rinse {1/2 cup vinegar and 1 quart water}. Just remember to rinse the vinegar out with plenty of water so the smell doesn’t linger!
10. Nail Strengthener: I’ve actually never tried this, but I’ve heard that soaking your nails in vinegar {full strength or diluted} will help to strengthen them and reduce cracking.
Seriously, who knew there were SO many different uses for such a common household supply.
So, how do you use vinegar?
Strawberry Shortcake
The Recipe:
OK friends, get out your pen and paper… this is a really complicated recipe.
Step 1: put a few sliced strawberries in the bottom of a small bowl or cup
Step 2: crumble a half slice of pound cake over the strawberries
Step 3: add a few more strawberries and any strawberry juice
Step 4: top with a scoop of instant vanilla pudding
Step 5: top with a scoop of whipped cream
Can you handle that?

Crib idea...
So I came across this really cool idea that would put your toddler's old crib to good use. So instead of keeping you toddler encaged in an entrapment that they can climb out of for months now, you can now get them that "big kid" bed they want and put the crib to great use. It doesn't even require too much man power for this feat, as all you really need to do is remove the front barrier from the crib and then lay a chalkboard at the bottom of the crib to create a neat little work station that would keep those little hands busy. Then of course you can customize and decorate it to suit the likings of your little one. Have fun being creative! :)
Metallic on black
A quick shopping trip can turn into dinner with girls then drinks with the beau in this outfit. The PANTS can be worn with every top in your wardrobe, the gold BLOUSE can be switched up, and the SANDALS are sexy!!! Don't forget to accessorize at the J-Spot Shop! Get it and take it for a test drive ;) lol
