Cream puffs!

Be excited, another recipe at the end of the blog!

Well. One cool thing that I've come to notice about being over seas away from most comforts...it doesn't really bother me at all. After reflecting, all the time's I've been away from home, especially on my own, I've never been home sick or had any type of withdrawals. Yes on occasion I may miss my friends and certain things, but it's very easy for me to adapt to my environment. Normally, I'm very resistant to change, but once I get over that small instance, it's not an issue. I feel like this is something God has put into my heart and it's rather exciting. It's helping me be more comfortable with where God is leading me. For awhile, I was getting really anxious about my future and where I'll end up, but after having a few talks with people and with God, I just need to set that aside, because we're not supposed to be worrying anyway, and give all my trust to God. Letting go completely and being fully in the will of God is difficult but something that God is really teaching me to do. I really encourage everyone to strive for this and to let go of your worries and anxiety about the future. If we think too far ahead, we will miss what God has laid out right in front of us.

I guess I still have some things that are still weighing on my heart, but it's a difficult issue to discuss. Nothing I could say in a few sentences but have to have a full conversation about. It's something I continuously pray to God about and I know He hears my prayers and will answer them, it's just the waiting is rather difficult sometimes. This is just my time to really connect with our Father and grow in my relationship with Him so that all other ones become secondary compared to Him. Yeah.

Well, on a lighter note, recipe time!!!!!!!!!!!

Fried Cream puffs:
Dough:
Flour - 1 cup
sugar - 1 tbs or to your liking
salt - pinch
touch of cinnamon
water - 1/2 cupish...

mix all ingredients together and add water. mix together with your HAND! If too dry, add more water, if too wet, add more flour. It should be a perfect dough consistency. Not sticky!

Insides:
Cream cheese - 1/2 cup
sugar - 4 tbs
cinnamon - 1 tbs

mix together!

Roll out little 1/2 inch balls and roll them VERY flat with a rolling pin. Slab a little of the cream in the center, and put another rolled out piece on top. Pinch together very well! (make sure you roll them in a circle)

You should heat up some oil by the way...enough that you can have these be submerged!

Now submerge your treat one at a time until golden brown. Then pull it out and sprinkle a little sugar on top! TADA!

Good with some jam, chocolate or some other kind of sauce on top.

(FYI, I just made up the ingredient amounts...just go with what looks right, cooking isn't a science it's an art!)

Love you all sooo much!
Ciao
