I started this blog...

as a way of compiling all my families favorite recipes all together in one place.
My daughter asked me if I would write down a certain something I make so
she has it when she grows up and has a family. I thought that was a good idea,
so I decided to combine all our favorites and make one big book. It will be a
work in progress and a way for me to ORGANIZE all the recipes stashed in
the cupboard. And I've realized, I like taking pictures of food!

Quick Cinnamon Rolls


1/3 c. sugar
3 T. yeast
1/2 c. oil
1 1/4 c. warm water
2 eggs, beaten
1 1/2 t. salt
5 1/4 c. flour
1/4 c. butter, melted
1 1/2 T. cinnamon
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. chopped nuts (optional)
3/4 c. raisins (optional)

In large bowl, mix 1/3 c. sugar, yeast, oil and warm water until dissolved. Cover and let stand 15 minutes. (Yeast will grow rapidly.) Blend eggs into mixture. Add salt to sifted flour and then gradually add yeast mixture to make a soft dough. Knead for 5 minutes on lightly floured surface. Roll out into rectangular shape about 1/4" thick. Brush with melted butter. Combine cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle over dough. Add nuts and raisins if desired. Roll up dough and cut into 1" slices. Place on baking sheet. Let rise 10 minutes and bake at 425 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.

Sugar Glaze:
2 c. powdered sugar
1/4 c. hot water
1 t. butter

Mix ingredients until well blended. Drizzle over warm rolls.
Love making them because they are fast... doesn't take all day and they are yummy!
