Just a few notes on my day-to-day life and what makes it great.

Worry. Who needs it? (And a recipe)

Apparently, my head disagrees with the title. I have had many sleepless nights where I have laid (that doesn't sound grammatically correct) awake doing nothing, but thinking about the bills we have/need to pay and how I'm going to pay them. I waste many precious moments worrying. It's Jessica. It's who I am. My parents say that at three I would worry about things I shouldn't have even know about. Sometimes I find myself worrying about other people.

Then my wonderful husband comes along. He's everything you could ask for in a husband...well, apparently, everything I asked for because God so graciously gave him to me! He may not show it in public, but he is a kind and caring man and he knows just what to say to make me feel better. He reminds me that God is carrying us at all times and that we will be fine. We've always experienced worse (though I don't know what you could define as worse since we are both unemployed and still have bills to pay) and made it through.

Just needed to get that off of my chest. Thanks for listening :)

Recipe of the Day:
Four Layer Yummy
1st layer --
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup pecans, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
Preheat oven to 350F.

Combine flour, pecans and butter and then press evenly until a 13x9" pan. Bake for 15 minutes and cool completely.

2nd layer:
  • 1 8oz block cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 8oz container of whipped cream
Mix cream cheese and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Fold in whipped cream. Spread over 1st layer and store in fridge.

3rd layer:
  • 1 5.9oz box instant chocolate pudding
Make pudding according to package directions and spread over first two layers.

4th layer:
Spread remaining layer on top.

I've been eating this since I was little. It's a major crowd pleaser. Haven't met someone who didn't like it. We also exchange the pudding for any kind of pie filling or other kinds of pudding. Hope you enjoy it!
