You can even purchase tickets to an upcoming game right from this one site.

Baseball Almanac
Baseball Almanac is a site for the baseball fans that fancy themselves more of historians. This online resource is dedicated to preserving the history of America’s pastime, and it features over 500,000 pages of fascinating baseball facts. Browse by players, hitting charts, record books, or even baseball card facts to learn everything there is to know about the history of this great game.

Armand Bayou Nature Center: See the Gulf Coast

March 6, 2014 by

Bask in the natural beauty of the Texas Gulf Coast at the Armand Bayou Nature Center and experience the pristine wetlands, forests and grasslands of the area.  An abundance of fauna and flora live in the preserve, making it the perfect place to observe nature in all its glory.

Go for a hike on one of the trails and visit their live animal exhibits where you can observe bison, turtles, snakes, alligators, and raptors. The kids love the butterfly garden where the pretty winged creatures frolic and flutter. Tour the bayou on the Bayou Ranger pontoon boat, or take a guided canoe trip. Visit Martyn Farm on the preserve and travel back to rural life in the 1800s. Be sure to check out their many special events, like their Annual Harvest Festival.

The Armand Bayou Nature Center is open Wednesdays through Sundays. Admission is $4 for adults, $2 for seniors and children.

Recipe of the Month

March 5, 2014 by

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Cookies

Ingredients
1 can seamless crescent rolls (or pinch together seams on a regular can, or make your own with the recipe I posted before)
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp vanilla
¾ cup mixed peanut butter and chocolate chips

Directions:

  1. Beat sugar, cream cheese and vanilla together until smooth and creamy.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll sheet onto lightly floured surface. Stretch the dough out (I used a rolling pin to do this) then trim the edges to give it a good rectangular shape. A pizza cutter is great for trimming edges of dough.
  3. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the top of the crescent sheet, leaving a gap at the edge about 1/2 inch.
  4. Sprinkle your chips on top of cream cheese – press them in lightly to aid in rolling.
  5. Roll the crescent sheet up tightly and wrap in cling wrap.
  6. Place in freezer for at least 2 hours. (It won’t get really solid as the cream cheese mix won’t freeze)
  7. When chilled preheat oven to 350°.
  8. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (prevents sticking and helps in cleanup).
  9. Slice the crescent roll into 1/4" slices. They won’t keep the precise round shape, but that is fine!
  10. Bake on prepared cookie sheet for 12 -14 minutes until crescent roll appears golden brown.
  11. Cool on the parchment paper or wire rack.

Enjoy! They are soft and oh so yummy!!
