Those Popular Sausage Balls Everyone Loves

You know those nuggets of sausage and cheese that someone always brings to your church potluck. You know the ones - they're held together with cream cheese, love, and other good things that make them addictive. Honestly, I don't know why I never tried these for myself. I've just always enjoyed eating someone else's labor, I guess.

But this weekend I pulled out my hand mixer, gathered my ingredients, and made these adorable little balls of goodness. I can't believe they only use four ingredients and can be prepared in just a few minutes. And you don't cook the sausage beforehand, so that saves a ton of time.

Did I mention that they're addictive? Just making sure you're prepared.

You can even store these in the freezer, cooked or uncooked, and make them as needed. And trust me, you'll definitely need them.

Ingredients:
1lb ground breakfast sausage
8oz cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 cups Bisquick
4oz cheddar cheese, finely shredded

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.

2. Use a mixer to combine all ingredients. 

3. Using a cookie scoop, line the baking dish with 1-inch balls of the mixture. You should be able to get them all in one pan. It's ok if they're touching.

4. Bake at 400 degrees for 22-24 minutes, until they are browned and cooked all the way through. Serve immediately.

Recovering An Old Card Table And Making It Usable Again

Image
This card table recover project has been on my to-do list for months. I've been using it as my workspace in the craft room for quite some time, and it sees a lot of abuse. Here it is now, with a neutral cover on it so I can take better pictures for my tutorials. There were dents and dings in the old blue covering from metal tools. And yes, I've used my embossing heat tool on it several times, leaving pretty good scars. The padding underneath the blue cover also made it difficult to keep paper crafts flat when adhering them together, so it was time for something new. That's where a simple vinyl tablecloth comes in handy. The process to recover the table is pretty simple, but I learned a couple of lessons the hard way. I share them with you now. First, don't do this on any surface but a carpet. I tried it on the deck int he sunshine to get better pictures, but all it did was tear up the cover. Second, get a second pair of hands to help you kee

Simple DIY Beaded Keychains

Image
We're having so much fun putting together goodie bags and door prizes for our upcoming ladies retreat at the church. So many of our ladies have donated craft supplies, decorations, time and energy to treat our visitors to an amazing time. These keychains are just one of the gifts some of the attendees will find in their bags. All you need to make them are a variety of beads, some fairly thin yet sturdy cord and a jump ring. Cut a length of cord, fold it in half and string it through the jump ring. String matching beads on both sides. And tie it off with a double knot. So simple, yet so pretty. Here's another variation: Cut a length of cord, fold it in half and thread it through a jump ring. Tie one or two beads on one side and tie it off with a knot. Make the other side longer with additional letters and beads before tying it off. Make a variety of lengths, colors, patterns and phrases so no two are alike.

Debilitating Disappontment

The things of this life tend to disappoint us. People aren't who we'd like them to be, events we'd hoped for never occur and things we'd expected to happen in a certain way never come to pass. I've tried relying on everything else in this life - relationships, career, better finances. When we look to mankind for answers or for hope, we will surely be disappointed. Our own misconceptions of life's circumstances leads us down a long, dreary path. What we plan and see inside our head doesn't always match what others see, or what may actually be reality. Looking into ourselves for "clarity" directs us straight to depression and failure. Have you ever heard yourself say, "I couldn't care less" and truly meant it? Having confidence in our own power to change our outlook means that we care more about the circumstances themselves rather than how to grow as Christian women. God is the only unchanging factor in our uncertain world. Focusing on
