It’s time for Becky to throw down a challenge and so she has.

Supposedly, all you need is a flat iron, some hair ties, and the ability to braid.

The directions?

Separate your hair into sections, braid, run a flat iron over each section, (hairspray and repeat if you so desire), unbraid, and….

Voila – pretty waves!

We’ll post our results on Friday. Should be interesting!

Feel free to join in the fun! Who knows? Maybe we’ll find a new favorite hairstyle.

If you haven’t already seen our previous three Pinterest battles, you can find them on Becky’s Pinterest War board or mine.

Alright. So the majority of mine ended up looking much more like collapsed caves than empty tombs, but I must say, this one was both tasty and fun!

I give it an A for easiness.

An A+ for kid-friendly fun. It will definitely be an Easter tradition in the Ganshert household from here on out.

A C for resemblance to the original.

A D- for after-fun clean-up. (Melted marshmallow is not the nicest thing to clean off a pan.)

And an A+ for the yum-factor.

Becky and I loved seeing pictures of resurrection rolls pop up on Facebook and Twitter this week. If you make a batch of your own, we’d love to see a picture of your finished product!

We hope you join us next week for battle number four. It may have something to do with our hair.

Let’s Talk: What say you – Pinterest Fail or Nail?

Praying God fills your heart with joy over the love He displayed on Good Friday and the victory that is ours this Easter Sunday! He is risen indeed!

In honor of Easter, the third battle in the Pinterest War between Becky Wade and myself is…..

Resurrection Rolls!

Anybody ever make these before?

They’re a great Easter recipe to do with kids. The marshmallows melt when you bake, so when you break the rolls open, they are empty inside, just like the tomb!

All you need is a can of crescent dinner rolls, large marshmallows, melted butter, cinnamon, and sugar.

Separate the crescent rolls into triangles.

Mix the cinnamon and sugar.

Dip a large marshmallow into the melted butter, roll in the cinnamon and sugar mixture, then wrap a crescent roll around the marshmallow. Make sure to pinch the seems together tightly.

Bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes and voila!

Resurrection Rolls!

So far, Becky’s eggs were prettier and her cake from last week wasn’t floating in a puddle of frosting, so I think she’s winning the war. Which means only one thing….time to get my roll-baking on. You can see the inspiration and the results for all of our battles on Becky’s Pinterest War board or mine.

If you join in the fun, make sure to tag Becky and/or I in the picture so we can see your beautiful creation! We’ll post results on Friday!
