Breadmaking Brainstorm

Chas · January 20, 2011 ·

Lately, I have had a bit of trouble with my breadmaking. The house is so chilly, I can’t get the bread to rise unless I heat up the oven and then turn it off and let it cool down enough to warm the dough and not bake it.
Ugh.
Until…
The other day I was dreaming about the day when I have my wood stove, it hit me! I realized until I get one I know where I can sit the dough!

I put it in front of our little heater and it worked just fine. Not as well as my wood stove will one day… ๐Ÿ˜‰ hee hee, but just fine.

We made cinnamon rolls to go along with our celebration dinner.
Celebration dinner you might ask????
Yep! We are celebrating that after being without a fulltime job since August 20th, my dear hubby got a brand new job and started on Monday, Jan. 17th. Almost 5!!! full months of searching and applying and looking.
Praise the Lord!
So indeed, we had to celebrate!!!!!!!!!!

Amish Cinnamon Rolls with Caramel Icing

After we had the cinnamon rolls completed the girls helped me with some of our favorite dinner rolls. Our Better than Randy’s Rolls. ๐Ÿ™‚
There is a local restaurant that has pretty great rolls and when I first started making our own rolls the kids exclaimed…. “MOM! These are better than Randy’s!!!”
Soooo, there you go.

Some of Cameo’s best friends were staying with us for the day and they helped make up our Better than Randy’s Rolls.

Fun in the kitchen and we had a lesson on  how economical it is to make your own foods from scratch rather than purchasing convenience foods as well as how much healthier they are too.
I wish Cameo was turned more toward the camera… her shirt says, ‘My Mom Rocks’ ๐Ÿ™‚ LOL!

My happy helpers… and the old adage is so true…

Many hands, make light work.

My Cup Runneth Over…
