Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies

Some days you just need a GIANT chocolate chip cookie! Am I right? These cookies are thick and oh-so-yummy! They're full of chocolate chips and walnuts.

That's right! Walnuts are the special ingredient that take these cookies over the top. I promise, you don't want to skip them.

Each Easter season, our family makes Resurrection Rolls. It's a fun tradition that the kids absolutely love. Each ingredient in the recipe represents something from the Resurrection story.

Put everything together and bake. When the rolls are done they're empty just like the empty tomb.

Resurrection Rolls

We started doing this when my son {whose now 15} was a baby.  We make Resurrection rolls each year around Easter.  We read some scriptures and talk about the importance of the Resurrection.

Symbols for Resurrection Rolls

• Crescent rolls - represent the cloth that Jesus body was wrapped in {Matt 27:59}
• Large marshmallow - represents Jesus and His purity
• Melted butter - represents the oils of embalming {Luke 23:56}
• Cinnamon & sugar - represents the spices used to anoint the body of Jesus {Luke 23:56}
• Oven - represents the tomb {Matt 27:60}

How to make Resurrection Rolls

1. Preheat oven to 350. 
2. Dip the marshmallow in butter and then the cinnamon sugar. 
3. Wrap the crescent roll around the marshmallow and pinch edges. 
4. Place on a greased baking sheet.
5. Bake for 10-12 minutes {This is the 3 days and nights}
6. Open the "cloth" and find that Jesus is no longer there. HE IS RISEN! {Matt 28:6}

My kids look forward to this every year. They are actually pretty tasty too.  Make sure to use fresh marshmallows. The ones I used this year I'd had for a while. They didn't all melt very well.

How to Make an Easy Tube Pillowcase with only 3 Seams! | The Burrito Pillow Case

Today I'm showing you how to make the cutest pillowcases with only three seams! That's right three straight seams and you're done.

They're easy-peasy. This is perfect for a beginner sewer, but those who see the end result will think you're a pro.

I had to use up some of my flannel stash that I grabbed on Black Friday. So to go with my rice heat bags, I made each of my kids a matching pillowcase for Valentines Day.

They are soft and perfect for winter. But you can make these with a cotton fabric as well.

HOW TO MAKE A BURRITO PILLOW CASE

As I was doing a little bit of research, I was surprised to find that there are quite a few different names that these pillowcases go by.

Sometimes they're called a burrito, sausage or hot dog pillow case. Some people call them magic pillowcases. Still others call them rolled or tube pillowcases.

As far as I can tell they're all the same thing and they're SO easy to make!

Let's get started with the tutorial!

FABRIC NEEDED FOR A MAGIC PILLOW CASE

You will need 3 pieces of fabric.

• 2"  X length of fabric
• 9"  X length of fabric
• 27" X length of fabric

OTHER USEFUL TOOLS AND SUPPLIES

• Cutting mat and rotary cutter
• Sewing pins
• Sewing scissors
• Sewing machines

When the fabric comes off the bolt it is folded. Leave it like this and cut your measurements off of it.

Then place your pieces on top of each other while the fabric is still folded. They will most likely not be exactly the same length.

So trim off the selvage edge to make them all even.

Fold and press your 2" piece in half lengthwise.

Lay down your 9" piece face up. On top of it place your 27" piece face up.

Then place your 2" folded piece on top with the opening at the top. Make sure you're fabric is lined up straight.

Now roll up the 27" piece like shown above.

Now fold the bottom piece up over the top.

Make sure that all of your pieces are lined up. Pin in place and stitch along the top. This is your first seam.

Now turn your tube right side out...

and this is what it will look like.

Fold your pillowcase in half, with right sides together. Sew along the side and bottom of the pillowcase.

These are your second and third seams. Turn it right side out and you're done!

Here's another one I made.

TUBE PILLOW CASE VARIATION (WITH 4 PIECES OF FABRIC)

I also made another variation. It's just as easy. The only difference is you will start out with 4 pieces of fabric instead of three.

Main color:
27"  X length of fabric
2" X length of fabric

Coordinating color:
9" X length of fabric
3" X length of fabric


Press your 2" and 3" pieces in half lengthwise.

Lay down your 9" piece face up. On top of it place your 27" piece face up. Then place your 3" and then your 2" folded pieces on top with the openings at the top.  Continue with pillowcase as instructed above.

Here's my son's. I was worried about the flower pattern, but I really like the two fabrics together. He assured me that it wasn't too girly. And in a house full of girls, he's probably just glad it wasn't pink:)

So there you have it. Now go and make yourself or your kids some cute new pillowcases.
