Hello everyone! The cooler weather has finally hit us. I freeze all the time, I do not like cold weather, BRRR!

Most of you know I go to the Mansfield Assembly of God Church. Well, we lost of one of our precious members a few weeks ago, her name was Sidney Weaver. We are all like family at our church and most are all kin to each other. She sat behind me and let me tell ya, church hasn’t been the same since she passed. She was a one-of-a-kind, precious soul that raised nine children and fostered over fifty. She taught them all about Jesus and loved them all. What a legacy she left. We will all miss her dearly but know she’s having a wonderful time on the streets of gold. Hug your momma and daddy and make time for them and always tell them that you love them. The end of this month will be 11 years since my sweet momma passed away. I have to move on before I start crying.

I am going to tell you a funny story about a funeral. This is a true story. A good friend of mine has a good friend whose grandmother passed away and he went out of town to her funeral. They are all in the church and someone is videoing the service, and they are carrying his precious grandma in the church and set her and the casket in front of the church. They turn to walk away, and the casket falls and the lid pops open and yes you guess it, grandma falls out. Can you imagine how awful that would be? I have never heard of such a thing happening. If this was my service, I know without a shadow of a doubt that my whole family would be laughing so hard they would be crying. Jacob would act upset and asking for a refund. He would probably get my funeral for half price or free and that would make his day. Have I ever told y’all he is a descendent of Milburn Drysdale from the Beverly Hillbillies? Tighter than bark on a tree. I am thinking this is just one more thing for me to have to worry about at my funeral. Picking out extra pallbearers and now the casket falling. One thing for sure, I won’t know it. I will just go out with a bang.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Count your blessings every day. We have so much to be thankful for. This week’s recipe would be good for a breakfast or a dessert. You will need a 10″ iron skillet or baking dish for this recipe.

APPLE PIE BISCUITS
8 frozen buttermilk biscuits, thawed (or you can use the big can biscuits)
1 21 oz. can of apple pie filling (chop the apples up)
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/3 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Rub some butter over your pan or skillet. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg till all combined. Dip each biscuit into the butter then roll in the sugar mixture on both sides. Arrange in the skillet. Make sure you chop your apples up fine and add the vanilla to the pie filling. Arrange the pie filling evenly over the biscuits and sprinkle with nuts if you like them. Pour the melted butter over the top and sprinkle the remaining sugar mixture on top. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. In a small bowl, whisk together some powdered sugar and milk and add a little vanilla to make a glaze. Drizzle on the biscuits and serve. Delicious! Have a wonderful week!
