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. Divide into rolls and place into greased (coconut oil) pan. Brush tops of rolls with coconut oil (optional).  Let rise in a warm place for 30-45 min. Bake at 375 degrees F for 12-15 min.

Cinnamon Rolls
Make white roll dough in bread machine.
Pour dough out onto a lightly oiled (coconut oil) surface. Press dough into a rectangular shape about 24” x 12” and about 1 inch thick. Brush dough with coconut oil.

In a small dish, mix together:
1 cup brown sugar
¼ cup white sugar
2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
½ cup raisins
½ cup walnuts (chopped/crushed small)

Spread cinnamon/sugar mixture over the dough rectangle.
Gently roll dough along the longest edge and cut out 1 inch thick rolls using floss. Place unbaked rolls almost touching into oiled baking dish and drizzle with 1-2 Tbsp melted margarine. Allow rolls to rise for 30-60 minutes.
Bake at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes or until browned on tops.
Drizzle (while hot or after cooling) with icing.

Icing:
2 cups powdered sugar
¼ tsp vanilla
3 Tbsp coconut/almond milk


I should have taken better photos of these beauties, but here are some with my phone camera. They are delicious.

Quinoa, Butternut Squash, Chicken, Bean Soup

About a month back, I tried a recipe using butternut squash, which isn't a common vegetable in my kitchen. It was on sale and I thought I'd give it another chance.  Find the original  RECIPE HERE  and be amazed at the long list of hearty ingredients that I stashed into my rendition of this soup (see below). I couldn't resist a recipe from a fellow cook named "Chelsea", and as a bonus, the soup turned out delicious, although I can't brag that it was a family favorite. It wasn't my kids' favorite. Sometimes healthful and full of new flavors isn't as satisfying to them as boring mac'n'cheese from a box. I can say that I was successful at hiding the leftovers of this "soup" (which had thickened significantly in the fridge) as the filling for enchiladas using  THIS  favorite enchilada sauce recipe and with fluffy white tortillas. Ingredients in my soup: chicken broth, chicken breasts kidney beans garbanzo beans ...

Egg Rolls

It's always exciting trying new recipes and ideas. Making egg rolls for the first time nearly touched the artistic side of my brain as I enjoyed folding and creating a lovely masterpiece. They turned out tasting good, not the best egg rolls I've ever had, but perfect when accompanied with a sweet dipping sauce. They are very nutrition-filled, so their taste matches that.  I followed this  recipe with several alterations. I used an entire package of egg roll wrappers, which was about 20 egg rolls and the filling was just the perfect amount. In a large skillet, add and saute over MED heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring often: 1 Tbsp olive oil 2-3 cups grated carrots 2 cans (14 oz each) bean sprouts, drained 1 can or 1/2-1 cup water chestnuts (chopped) 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper 1/4 cup chopped green onions 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 Tbsp fresh ginger, minced (with juice) Add and heat through: 2 cups diced chicken*  In a small bowl, create...
