Sunday's Sermon and Featured
“Now ye may suppose that this is foolishness in me; but behold I say unto you, by small and simple things are great things brought to pass; … and by very small means the Lord doth confound the wise and bringeth about the salvation of many souls.”
Alma 37:6-7
It is great to know that those that continually try to be better can achieve the fullness of the gospel and eternal life...what a great blessing.
On another note. Small and simple things on my part are slowly bringing my dream of having a successful blog to past.
I was featured today on the blog Fireflies and Jellybeans for my Banana Pops. Check it out here.

Here were my cast of characters:
Place in Freezer Bags. I chose to freeze them two at a time because I have two kids and I know I will thaw them two at a time. You could wrap them individually in Freezer wrap.

Pioneer Woman's Ranch Style Chicken
For the full recipe, go here to the Pioneer Woman Cooks.
A couple of notes: I HATE and when I mean Hate....I really do Hate mustard. I can't stand it, but in this recipe, it just gives flavor. It does not taste like mustard or else I wouldn't have eaten it. I also used lime juice cause I didn't have lemon juice. It worked out great.

Freezer Friday
We love pancakes and crepes at our house. We also love to put strawberries on those two things, so I decided to save the strawberries.
Here is how I did it.
Cut all strawberries and slice into thin pieces. Sprinkle about 2 T. of sugar and 1/2 t. vanilla over the top.
Mix!
Let sit 10 min and let the juices begin to form.
I then took half of my strawberries, placed them in the blender with a Tablespoon of milk to form a syrup. Then I added the syrup back with the strawberries, mixed it well and then placed into freezer bags.
Next time, you should give it a try.

Sunday's Sermon
I have wept in the night
For the shortness of sight
That to somebody’s need made me blind;
But I never have yet
Felt a tinge of regret
For being a little too kind.

Cinnamon Rolls
Doesn't this look delicious. I think my kids enjoyed eating the crumb that fell onto the counter.
Okay, now here comes the hard that I hope y'all wont judge me for. I was in a little bit of a hurry when I iced these babies (yeah, a hurry to eat them!). So I didn't soften the cream cheese which I will do in the future. I also slightly over cooked them as well, so don't laugh at the final picture, cause the picture itself just plain sucks. It does not do these yummy treats justice.
Okay...
No judging,
right?!?!
Perfect Cinnamon Rolls
Dough:
½ cup milk
7 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup warm water (about 110 degrees)
1 envelope (2¼ teaspoons) yeast
¼ cup (1¾ ounce) sugar
1 large egg, plus 2 large egg yolks
1½ teaspoons salt
4-4 ½ cups (20 to 21¼ ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the work surface
Filling:
¾ cup packed (5¼ ounces) light brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon melted butter
Glaze:
1 cup (4 ounces) confectioners sugar, sifted to remove lumps
1 ounce cream cheese, softened
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1-2 tablespoons milk
1. Heat the milk and butter in a small saucepan or in the microwave until the butter melts. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside until the mixture is lukewarm (about 100 degrees).
2. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle, mix together the water, yeast, sugar, egg, and yolks at low speed until well mixed. Add the salt, warm milk mixture, and 2 cups of the flour and mix at medium speed until thoroughly blended, about 1 minute. Switch to the dough hook, add another 2 cups of the flour, and knead at medium speed (adding up to ¼ cup more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary) until the dough is smooth and freely clears the sides of the bowl, about 10 minutes. Shape the dough into a round, place it in a very lightly oiled large bowl, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Leave in a warm, draft-free spot until doubled in bulk, 1½ to 2 hours.
3. Mix together the filling ingredients in a small bowl. Grease a 13 by 9-inch baking dish.
4. After the dough has doubled in bulk, press it down and turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface. Using a rolling pin, shape the dough into a 16 by 12-inch rectangle, with a long side facing you. Mix together the filling ingredients in a small bowl and sprinkle the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border at the far edges. Roll the dough, beginning with the long edge closest to you and using both hands to pinch the dough with your fingertips as you roll. Moisten the top border with water and seal the roll. Lightly dust the roll with flour and press on it ends if necessary to make a uniform 16-inch cylinder. Cut the roll in 12 equal pieces and place the rolls cut-side up in the prepared baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm, draft-free spot until doubled in bulk, 1½ to 2 hours.
5. When the rolls are almost fully risen, adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the rolls until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of one reads 185 to 188 degrees, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, stir the glaze ingredients together until smooth. Glaze the rolls and serve.
