Nothing like warm cinnamon rolls

When my kids have spend the nights at our house I like to try to make something special for the morning. The kids have come to expect homemade chocolate chip pancakes from scratch. In fact, Owens friend, George, has taken the recipe and attempted them at home for his siblings.

Today is the last day of summer for Owen and his good friend Lorcan. School starts on Monday.  As a special treat, this morning I made them cinnamon rolls. Unfortunately they pressured me to remove them before fully done and they were a bit too gooey. Luckily I was able to pop them right back into the oven for another 15 minutes and they were perfect.

The recipe is on my recipe page.  I made them the night before and instead of having them rise for 30 minutes I put them in the fridge overnight so they would be fresh and warm this morning.  I pulled them out of the fridge this morning and should have had them at room temp for a minimum of 30-60 minutes, ( it was probably only 20) which is why it took them double time to cook.

I could probably sell these and make a small fortune they are so good.

Not Responsible for Obsession

So I've tried many salsa's. Most leave me disappointed. I saw this new salsa at Costco and despite my reluctance I just had to purchase. The warning label left me with a sense of sheer danger for not only trying something new but for possibly taking on a new obsession.

I have to say the label lives up to the hype. I can't say I'm obsessed but it's still the first day.... It's really good so maybe by the end of the week.

The Rougher the Skin

I have this weird theory that the rougher the avocado the better tasting. I found today that there is an exception.... If the avocado was picked too early then it never tastes good. We purchased a 6 pack and 4 of the 6 were bad very quickly. The others just aren't very good. Better to not buy these at Costco or Sam's club.
