Cinnamon Roll Recipe
I got this recipe from my grandmother (who knows where she found it…maybe a magazine or just something repeated to her from someone else). There is a great satisfaction from baking something from scratch, watching it cook and the wonderful smell that permeates throughout the house when it is baking. Happy baking!
Ingredients
1 cup water
1 package yeast
1/3 cup oil
¼ cup sugar
1 tsp salt
3 cups flour
Optional: Cream Cheese Icing
2 oz. cream cheese
4 – 5 tsp powdered sugar
Milk to loosen
Instructions

Combine above and knead – then rise about an hour. Knead again then roll out into rectangle

Spread about ¼ cup butter

Sprinkle with ½ cup brown sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon

Roll up then cut into 1 inch parts

Bake at 350° for 12 – 15 minutes until golden

My husband pulled some yellow squash out of the garden yesterday and it was really pretty.  He sautéed with olive oil and onions and added a little cheese at the end (really so the kids would try it).  Since we saw yesterday that there is going to be a LOT of squash harvested from our garden I have other plans for it moving forward.

I got this book as a gift for Christmas two years ago and it is really cute.  There is a recipe for Blueberry Cream Cheese cupcakes (that has pureed squash) that I am going to try.  I am determined to get my children to eat some vegetables!
I’ll write later about how the squash cupcakes turned out.
