So I have started to be quite the homemaker recently! Thanks mostly to pinterest none of it is really me at all! But I have been making some crazy delicious and easy recipes and I have decided to share some of them. This cooking thing has become something that I really really enjoy! And I have always loved delicious food so here we go!
Filling:
• 3/4 cup of packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons of melted butter
• mix well with a fork and set aside.
Dough:
• 2 1/2 cups of flour
• 1/4 cup of sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 cup of butter milk
• 4 tablespoons of melted butter
• mix with spoon just until the dough comes together. If you mix to much the cinnamon rolls will be hard. Kneed the dough with hands and divide into two halves. Don't be afraid to use more flour to stop the sticking.
• roll out the dough into a rectangle just a bit bigger than a piece of paper. Fill with half of your cinnamon mixture and leave the sides of the dough clean about a 1/4 of an inch around all sides. Then roll up like a huge sausage, pinch the seams shut and cut your roll into eight pieces. Repeat with other half. Put your pieces in an 8 X 11 dish. Make sure to spray it with non stick spray!
• melt one more table spoon of butter and brush the tops of your cinnamon rolls.
• put in the oven( pre heated to 425) for 15 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Icing:
• 3 ounces of softened cream cheese
• 1 cup of powdered sugar
• 4 tablespoons of buttermilk
• mix together cream cheese and powdered sugar till smooth.
• add the buttermilk one table spoon at a time until creamy.
• pour over hot cinnamon rolls and smooth evenly.
• stick them in the freezer for five minutes and voila! Enjoy yummy deliciousness!!
Now I apologize for my horrible pictures! This was kind of a spur of the moment thing. And they didn't turn out as pretty as I wanted them but they taste delicious nonetheless!

Childlike once more!!
Today, my Sophi and I had macaroni and cheese for lunch! It was delicious and cheesy and we loved it! But all I could think about was how before she came bursting into my husband and my life I was wishing that I could be a little kid again and do kid things, eat kid things, and play like a kid again!! Well here it is folks the double wammie!! I get to do all of it again!!! Yay!! But now I mostly think about what it would be like to be able to do grown up things all the time!! What is this I thought I was doing what I wanted!! But I guess we are never fully satisfied until we achieve the opposite of what we want...
Now I sit here typing and daydreaming about what it would be like to go out to romantic dinners and spend a whole day in CLEAN clothes! No boogers, no remnants of previous meals, no questionable stains or spots you don't remember getting! Don't get me wrong being a mommy to my sweet Sophi is the best and I enjoy every minute even when I am tempted to rip my hair out from hearing "momma momma!!" thousands of times a day!
