Strawberry Cheesecake Turnovers

-


I am so in love with the strawberry and crème pies that they have at McDonald's that I had to find an easy recipe to make my own at home. Plus, I knew if I made them at home I would get over my extreme craving for them. I googled and googled different recipes and after going through about 10 of them, I decided to just try something out and see what I would come up with. I love sweets and especially sweets that I can make on my own and do so easily. Enjoy this recipe and please leave comments and pictures if you try at home :) Also....

Ingredients:

·         Philadelphia Ready to Eat Cheesecake Filling  (I found at Walmart where the cream cheese is)

·         Small Flour Tortillas (any brand)

·         Strawberry Filling (any brand)

·         Vegetable Oil

·         Sugar (optional)

·         Powdered Sugar (optional)





Tools:

·         Plastic Wrap

·         Skillet

·         Tongs (or something to flip with easily)

Steps:

1.      Warm tortillas in the microwave for 15 seconds

·         This makes the tortillas easier to fold up tight

2.      Add 1-2 tablespoons of cheesecake filling to the middle of tortilla

3.      Add 1-2 tablespoons of strawberry filling next to cheesecake filling

4.      Fold tortillas like a burrito as tight has possible

5.      Once all tortillas folded, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze 20-30 mins

·         This helps stiffen up the wraps, so they do not come undone

6.      Heat vegetable oil in skillet on medium heat until hot

7.      Once oil is hot, place tortillas in skillet flap side down and fry 1-2 mins on each side

8.      Once fried on both sides, place on a plate to cool and sprinkle with sugar and/or powdered sugar

9.      Enjoy!

*I did notice that I liked them even more after a day in the fridge and heated in the microwave 10-15 seconds.  Being in the fridge allowed the tortillas to soften up and were even more delightful*

A Good Mother

Being a mom is such a beautiful thing. I have been one for 10 years and I truly do enjoy it. However, it has not always been that way. I had my oldest daughter 2 weeks before I turned 21. I was stuck in the middle of wanting to be a mom and wanting to live life with my friends. I was in college and not working with a daughter to take care of. I didn't really have a mom growing up so being one was so foreign to me. I loved my daughter from the moment I saw her, I just didn't know how to grasp that "she is the most important thing now" concept.  As time went on, I got better as a mother. At age 24, I was becoming a mother for the second time with another daughter. I truly believe I was given daughters to form better versions of me. It just took me a long time to realize that. Even though I had become a   better mom, it was in the sense that I was more intuitive to their needs and that I was beginning to understand that no one was going to take care of them but me. So...

The Art of Forgiveness

-
When it comes to forgiveness, we have had our back and forth. Growing up as a child in an abusive home, I forgave every time it happened. As a quiet little girl who was picked on and bullied in school, I forgave. I would still try to be friends with those kids. I was the poster child for forgiveness. Then something changed in me. By the age of 13, you couldn’t look at me in a bad way and think I’d speak to you again. Forgiveness was nonexistent in my life. And that is no exaggeration. I can remember that as a teenage girl and young adult, my mottos were “I carry grudges like I carry my purse, and I take my purse EVERYWHERE.”   And “Jesus forgives, not ME!” If I felt like someone wronged me in anyway, I would be done with them. No need to say sorry or apologize in anyway. You would be wasting your breath. I remember a time when I was 21, my father said something to me over the phone that I didn’t like. I hung up the phone on him and didn’t speak to him for about 8 years....
