Last weekend we hosted 4 college students who were on their way back to New Mexico from a conference in Florida. They came in late Saturday night, took showers, slept and ate breakfast with us Sunday morning before going to church with us.
I made a breakfast casserole Saturday night and cinnamon rolls Sunday morning. The breakfast casserole just needed to be warmed up, so I put it on the top rack while I was baking the cinnamon rolls. I also used the serving bowl for fresh cut pineapple and strawberries.
I set out plates, forks and paper napkins...they are college boys! I had glasses for juice or water and set up coffee cups next to the pot for easy service.
Sunday afternoon, our community group had a potluck party for the end of the year. I made black bean salad again because it was requested:) and a fruit pizza. I used a box mix of sugar cookie dough. I would recommend two boxes...it took a lot of stretching to get this to the corners!
I made coconut cream cheese buttercream icing. I looked online for recipes, but tweeked it a bit.
1 stick of softened butter
1 block of softened cream cheese
1/2 cup coconut oil
Cream these together. Add powdered sugar (I used about 2 1/2 cups). Add 2 tsp vanilla and spread all over the cooled cookie. Top with fruit and refrigerate before serving.
I left it on the cookie sheet instead of cutting them up since I was going to someone's house.

Here are some recipes I looked at
It was heavenly. I used some of the pineapple and strawberries from breakfast and added blackberries for more color. It was a huge hit!!
Sorry, I didn't join in on the blogging parties last week. My boys and I were sick with an awful stomach bug, then I got a sore throat and a horrific allergy attack. It was the pits!!! But the boys are well and Mommy is on the mend:)
I'm joining
Enjoy
