Happy Easter!

As we enter into the weekend, I thought I would share with you a new tradition that we are beginning at the Myers’ household. I found this idea and recipe on a great new site http://d6family.com.

We plan to use this on Sunday morning to explain the miracle of Jesus Christ’s resurrection. For me, the baking process is also a good reminder that as His followers, we sometimes must undergo times of heat in order to see His resurrection power fully in us.

Please feel free to adopt this recipe in your family, too.

A blessed Easter to all of you!

Resurrection Rolls

Ingredients:
• 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 8 large marshmallows
• ¼ cup melted butter
• Cinnamon
• Sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Directions:
1. Give each person one triangle-shaped section of crescent roll. This represents the tomb.
2. Each person/child takes one marshmallow which represents the body of Christ.
3. Dip the marshmallow in the butter and roll in cinnamon and sugar mixture. This represents the oils and spices that Christ’s body was anointed with upon burial.
4. Lay the marshmallow on the dough and carefully wrap it around the marshmallow (not like a typical crescent roll up, but bring the sides up and seal the marshmallow inside).
5. Make sure all seams are pinched together well--sealed tightly like Jesus' tomb was (otherwise the marshmallow will "ooze" out of the seams).
6. Bake about 12-15 minutes.
7. Cool.
8. Break open the "tomb" and it will be empty!
