25

Wednesday, I will be another year older. I'd say I have done a lot in my few years of life and have experienced so much. 

I find myself thinking back to my 20 year old self. That was a rough year for my family. It was also when I met my hubby, who was 26 at the time. It felt good yet wrong to be hanging out with him. Mostly because he was my brothers friend and because I was still 20. Just a 20 yr old gal dating a very handsome, caring, and goofy 26 year old. Being a minor and dating a guy who can legally drink= no fun. 

On my 21st bday he took me to a club at midnight and got me a drink. The next day he took me to dinner and we met up with friends to celebrate. 

He gave me a single pearl necklace with small diamonds on top of it with earrings to match. I had mentioned to him that I wanted something like that when we were in Mexico. 

To be honest, I don't really recall the birthdays after that. I know we always had dinner, celebrated with just the two of us, with his family, and with mine.  Usually went out for drinks after with friends. 

This year he has something planned. I'm not too sure of what it is but it has required me to pump some milk!   I look forward to finding out what he has planned for me and sharing with you. 

I do know that this year won't involve a lot of wine, cocktails, and staying out late. I wouldn't change it for anything either. 

Sausage Cheese Muffins

During the first few weeks of Madi's life, my mom stayed with us and helped prepare meals, laundry, and watch Madi. 

Today I am going to share with you an easy Sausage-Cheese Muffins. This recipe makes 15 muffins but I like to overfill my tins and make 12. 

Ingredients:

1lb package ground pork sausage (we use hot for more flavor)

3 cups all purpose baking mix

1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 (10 3/4oz) can condensed cheese soup

3/4 cup water

Directions:

1. Cook sausage in large skillet, stirring until it crumbled and is no longer pink. Drain and cool. 

2. Combine sausage, baking mix, and shredded cheese in a large bowl; make a well in center of mixture. 

3. Stir together soup and 3/4 cup water; add to sausage mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Spoon into lightly greased muffin pans, filling to top of cups. 

4. Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. 

ENJOY!!
