Hobo Dinners

Is that politically correct?
Anyway, "hobos" are not an ingredient in this recipe, so I think we are all safe with this tasty and healthy meal.

It seems obvious that the most appropriate way to cook these meals is over hot coals from a campfire, but it is also possible to cook them in a dutch oven or in the oven right in your comfy kitchen.

You will need aluminum foil, meat of choice (optional), potatoes, carrots, cabbage, onion and seasonings.
Making your Pouch (one serving):
Tear off 3 sheets of aluminum foil about 18" long each. Lay them on top of each other all at different angles with middles aligned. (I am such a visual person, I hope that makes sense.)
Put large pieces of cabbage on first, then the meat on top. Then pile on the other ingredients you have chopped up small into the center of your prepared aluminum foil and season as you go. Once you have added enough for one serving, fold up each end (one at a time) of aluminum foil to enclose all ingredients and create a pouch.

Keep refrigerated or on ice if there is time between preparing and cooking your hobo dinner(s).
Over hot coals the cooking time is about 1 hour, but check periodically after about 40 minutes to prevent burning. Once the potatoes and carrots are soft, it is ready to eat!

White Rolls and Cinnamon Rolls - Bread Machine Dough cycle

I always have assumed that the best white rolls have dairy ingredients, but I tried this recipe for Easter ( I made them into resurrection rolls with a marshmallow in the center) and they turned out delicious. My husband and I both agreed that they would make great cinnamon rolls, so I tried it today and was not disappointed.  My favorite part is that the dough is made in the bread machine. That way, the prep time/active time is cut down, which is a winner for my life. Here are my two new recipes for White Rolls and Cinnamon Rolls. White Dinner Rolls (bread machine – dough cycle) Place ingredients into bread machine pan: 1 cup water 2 Tbsp margarine 1 egg 3 ¼ cups unbleached all purpose flour ¼ cup white sugar 1 tsp salt 3 tsp active dry yeast After dough is done (1.5 hours), pour out of the bread pan and onto clean surface.
