Christmas Eve Doings

We've had our dinner - little nibbles like cheese and meat, veggies and fruit. We've watched Elf, listening to Amy quote most of the lines. All, but the BIG gift, are wrapped. And I've just put the Land of Nod cinnamon rolls to rest - as you can see. It's the easiest recipe. Before you tuck your husband and cat into bed, do the following:

Grease a bundt pan.

Place 20-22 frozen dinner rolls (like Rhodes) loosely into the pan.

Mix together 1 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup instant vanilla pudding powder (I use the whole small box), 2 Tbsp cinnamon.

Sprinkle it over the rolls in the bundt pan.

Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter and pour it over the mixture and rolls.

Place a damp cloth over the bundt pan. Put it aside for the night. When you wake up, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 25 minutes - keep an eye on it, that it doesn't get too brown on top. You might need to place some aluminum foil over it for the last 5 minutes or so. Take it out and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, then dump it over onto a serving plate.

These are the tastiest, easiest cinnamon rolls you'll ever have. Enjoy. Merry Christmas and may God richly bless you on HIS birthday!!!

Where have I been?

I think that I blogged almost a year ago. What a horrible person I am! I intended to blog regularly and to be creative and to even offer some RAKs over at Two Peas. But... alas, the year went by and nothing.

But I have been revived. I turned 49 last week and I have set some goals for the last year of my 40s. #1) I am spending 1 hour each day with the Lord. I will try to do it every morning, but as long as I get it in, it doesn't matter when. #2) I joined Weight Watchers on Thursday. It is my goal to lose 1 lb. a week until my 50th birthday. I will then give myself 50 less lbs. for my 50th birthday. Sounds like a lot of weight, but I don't think that I will miss a single pound. My final goal, #3) I want to take photos daily and blog as often as possible. I want to offer up some of my crafts as RAKs, to generate some activity on my blog.

So - those are my goals for 365/49. Keep watching!!!
