~~ Baked Quesadilla Squares
2 c Cheddar cheese; shredded Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish with nonstick vegetable oil spray. Sprinkle cheeses in bottom. Top with chilies. Combine milk, baking mix, and eggs in large bowl and beat until smooth. Carefully pour over chilies. Top with 1/4 cup salsa. Bake until puffed and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool 10 minutes. Cut into squares and serve. Pass sour cream, guacamole and additional salsa separately.
NOTE: I think 425 degrees might be too hot for this dish. I would start it at 375 and bake a little longer if necessary. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

NOTE FROM KAREN~ Welcome new friends, and welcome back to you all. We're having some sunshine today, and it's amazing how much I appreciate it after many days of fog and rain. I think we all get tired of gray days, but the rain and cold make way for a beautiful spring. ~ Please take a moment each day to send someone a warm thought or some encouragment. You never know the difference it will make in their day, and I guarantee it will make a big difference in yours.
I remind you again to be good to yourself. There is nobody on earth like you, and you do make a difference. ~ Thank you for your letters of encouragement to me and for signing my guestbook when you visit. This always makes my day. Enjoy the day! I look forward to my next time with you.
Shine on, dear friends........Karen~

Valentine's Day Ideas~~
~~ Valentine Cake
Instead of buying a cake mold for Valentines you probably already have one!! Bake a two layer cake. One in a round pan, one in a square pan. When baked and cool....slice the round one in half. Place each half of the round on two corner of the square and you will have a perfect heart shape. Decorate with icing and decorations of your choice. (Shaved chocolate, tiny cake decorations and edible sugar glitter, etc.)

Love is patient, Love is kind,it does not envy; it does not boast; it is not proud.It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.Love does not delight in evilbut rejoices with the truth.It always protects, always trust,always hopes, always perseveres.- I Corinthians 13:4-7 -

Romantic Ideas~~
Write a poem or love letter =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The Meaning of Roses
White roses are for true love and purity of the mind. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Another idea for the Valentine coupons is to write them on small pieces of paper and roll them tight. Insert them into balloons and blow them up. Place them around the house and let your honey pop the balloons in order to collect their special coupons.
Some ideas are:
"One Free Back Rub" You get the idea! Use your imagination, I'm sure there's lots of stuff your sweetie would find very special to them.
