Meat Craze

So, I recently noticed that in my efforts to make delicious dairy-free meals I have become dependent on meat. I rarely make meals that do not include some sort of meat. I realize that this is not only more expensive, not necessary and slightly unhealthy, but also that my beliefs do not align with eating meat so regularly. If you follow my recipe blog, you will notice a new trend of healthy meat-less recipes as I aim to use my creativity to get our family out of our current meat craze. Hope you like what I come up with.

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.
