Cinnamon Rolls

These cinnamon rolls are so good! I made 2 dozen with every intention of giving most of them to neighbors and friends. They were so irresistable that we ate all but 5 of them ourselves. Hope you like them as much as we did!

Ingredients:
4 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 1/2 teaspoons yeast
1/2 cup oil
2 cups buttermilk (if you don't have buttermilk just put 2 Tbsp of white vinegar in 2 cups of regular milk and let it sit for 5 minutes then it becomes buttermilk.)

Directions:

Combine dry ingredients. Then add the liquid ingredients and mix to combine. Dough should be quite sticky. Let sit covered in the fridge overnight (about 12 hours.)

To Bake:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt 1/2 cup of butter (1/2 stick). Mix the filling which is 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, 3 tablespoons cinnamon, 1/8 tsp salt. Then take dough out of fridge and divide in half. Put 1/2 cup flour on the counter and knead half of the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle. Spread half the melted butter on it, then sprinkle with half the filling. Roll the dough towards you, pinch it sealed, then cut in 1 inch pieces. Do the same for the other half of the dough. Place on greased cookie sheets and bake 10-12 minutes. Drizzle with frosting if you want to, but they are great on their own! Enjoy.

Yummy Yummy Chicken Cordon Bleu

This is so easy... I really wanted to make something "nice" for Valentines Day since we weren't going out, so I found this recipe online and it was fast, easy, and delicious. Three things I love! =)

All you need is

-Shake 'n' Bake (I tried original, but it said any flavor would do)

-Chicken Breast

-Thin Sliced Ham

-Swiss Cheese

You can make as much or as little as you want.

First preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Then coat chicken with Shake'n'Bake according to box directions. Place a layer of tin foil over your cookie sheet and stick the chicken on it. Put in oven for 15 minutes. Take out of oven and let cool a little until you can slice the chicken in half without burning yourself. :) Then add a thin layer of ham and some swiss cheese to the middle. Put back in the oven for 5 more minutes and Wala, it's ready to eat!
