Mmm Cinnamon Rolls...




This was a fairly easy recipe I found on allrecipes.com.  I was very happy when I saw these can sit overnight in the fridge and then baked in the morning.  Overnight recipes are becoming some of my favorite recipes to make lately.  
 
Buttermilk Cinnamon Rolls
 
Ingredients:
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45
degrees C)
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Directions:
1.In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. In a small saucepan, heat the buttermilk until warm to the touch.
2.Pour the buttermilk and oil into the yeast mixture; mix well. Combine the flour, salt and baking soda. Stir the flour mixture into the liquid 1 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 20 times. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes. In a small bowl, stir together the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.
3.On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out into a large rectangle. Spread the brown sugar and butter mixture over the dough, roll up into a log and pinch the seam to seal. Slice into 1 inch pieces and place cut side up in a lightly greased 10x15 baking pan. Cover and let rise 30 minutes or cover and refrigerate overnight. If baking immediately, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4.Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown. Let stand for 2 to 3 minutes before serving

Back To The Sewing Machine...

More baprons and 4th of July dresses for the girls!  I haven't sewn anything in awhile but breezed through these small projects in a decent amount of time.

Bubble Fun...





She Tried...

While getting everyone ready for bed, Rosalia snuck onto my bathroom countertop, grabbed 3 nail polish bottles, and attempted her own manicure!  I'll admit she didn't do too bad but I'd prefer if she would let me do the painting till she gets a bit older!

Dillon's Lego Shelf...

Yay.  Papa finished Dillon's Lego shelf.  It's perfect.  The talent and ability to build unbelievably strong pieces of furniture is something I am so grateful for.  

Pickles Anyone...


All this for just $10.  Then Marc got into pickling mode and did all this...


Yum!
