I made these rolls one day when I was feeling ambitous. Turns out they were pretty easy, as far as yeast breads go! I don't even remember what was for dinner when I made these, they are that good! The butter spread on them after they come out of the oven....Oh how I'm craving them now!

Split Pea Soup
I made this soup the other day, expecting to make PBJs for the kids, and probably Nathan. Much to my surprise, Nathan and Oakley both liked it! Enoch however did not, but he doesn't like any kind of soup. I've never made Split Pea Soup, or cooked with Barley, so this whole recipe was new to me. I didn't follow the recipe exactly. I skimped on the celery, onion and carrots; either because I didn't have enough, or thought it sounded like too much. I wish I would have added the full amount. I also was afraid that I'd have chunks of veggies, eventhough I diced them pretty small. The veggies all but melt away in the slow cooker. I ended up adding more garlic powder to make up the missing taste. Next time I will also chop the ham smaller so that I don't get a chunk of ham, but I'm not a big meat person. I served these in bread bowls, and it was so good at the end when the bread and the soup melded. MMMMM

Ham and Pasta Skillet Dinner
This dish is pretty easy to make. It's not gormet, but the kids will eat it, and Nathan I like it well enough.

Chicken Lo Mein
My boys LOVE this! I was surprised the first time I served it, but the second and third time I made it, they ate it up just as fast. It is super easy, and I usually have all the ingredients on hand. (I've been known to use frozen veggies in here instead of fresh)

Garlic Chicken in Lemon Sauce
I first tried this recipe out on the missionaries. It seemed to go over pretty well. I've made this one other time, and it was just as yummy. Nathan thought the plain noodles were a bit weird, but I made some extra sauce, so the noodles had a light sauce to them. Delish, and great for company! I'm wondering if I could bake the chicken without breading it first. I'll have to play around with it.

Here is my favorite fajita recipe. Nathan's eyes always light up when he walks in the door and sees we're having fajitas.

Vanilla Pudding Cinnamon Rolls
These are my all time favorite cinnamon rolls, and they are pretty easy, as far as cinnamon rolls go. I love the unusual ingredient of the pudding. These are so good, that my husband has banned me from making them too often, we can't stop at one, or two, or five. We go crazy when these babies are around!
Vanilla Pudding Cinnamon Rolls
Rolls:
½ cup warm water
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
3 ½ ounce package instant vanilla pudding
½ cup butter, melted
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
6+ cups flour
Filling:
1 cup butter, softened to room temperature
2 cups brown sugar
4 teaspoons cinnamon
Frosting:
8 ounces cream cheese
½ cup butter, softened to room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups confectioner’s sugar
2-3 tablespoons milk
In a small bowl combine water, yeast and sugar. Stir until dissolved. Set aside. In large bowl, take pudding mix and prepare according to package directions. Add butter, eggs and salt. Mix well. Then add yeast mixture. Blend. Gradually add flour; knead until smooth. Do not overflour the dough! It should be very soft but not sticky. Place in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise until doubled. Then roll out on floured board to 34 X 21 inches in size. Take 1 cup soft butter and spread over surface. In bowl, mix 2 cups brown sugar and 4 teaspoons cinnamon. Sprinkle over the top. Roll up very tightly. With knife put a notch every 1 1/2 inches. Cut with thread or serrated knife. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet 1 inch apart. Cover and let rise until double again. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Remove when they start to turn golden (don’t overbake). Frost warm rolls with cream cheese frosting (combine butter and cream cheese and mix well, then add vanilla and sugar and mix again, then add milk for desired consistency). Makes about 24 very large rolls.
