It's never too late

I would like to share a little story with you today. While I was making a return at HomeGoods early this morning i witnessed joy and hope.

In front of me was a couple mid 70s to late 70s. He was using a walker and she was standing next to him. Minding my own business but I did overhear the clerk talking to the couple before me. The clerk clearly said to them; "are you still moving in together"? They had like a few items in their cart and they said yes.

The clerk wished them the very best of luck and it was so nice to see happiness on their faces.

With so much sadness going on in the world I wanted to share this story.

It certainly brought a wide smile to my face, and I hope it does to yours.

Where there is life there is hope.

Fondly,

Simple and easy to make sausage bake

Boy was this easy!

All you need is a:

11”x9” baking dish or 9 x13”.

Cooking spray to coat bottom of baking dish

1 lb.  Bulk hot or sweet sausage 

8 oz. Softened cream cheese

2 pkgs. crescent dinner rolls 

Preheat oven to 350°. Spray with cooking oil the bottom of a 9 x 11” baking dish.  

In a large pan over a medium high heat cook and stir sausage until  brown and crumbly.  Drain and discard grease add  softened cream cheese until It is combined.

Roll Crescent roll dough from one can into the bottom of a prepared baking dish without separating. 

Bake in a preheat 350°oven for about five minutes. 

Remove from oven ,spread sausage mixture over baked crescent roll.  Place the other roll on top.

Continue baking until the top layer is golden brown about 10 to 12 minutes. Check after 8  minutes. 

Note: mine never got brown so I removed from oven in about 10 minutes .  I knew it was ready because the edges were brown .  It was perfect.  I sprinkled a little dried parsley for presentation.

I served with a nice wine vinegar and oil dressing.  It was the perfect choice since I used HOT SAUSAGE 

Enjoy.
