EASTER MEMORIES AND A RECIPE...

We have the most beautiful little blue birds here. As I go for my walks each day, flocks of them float along the fence posts, staying just ahead of me. I think they are curious about my dogs, I just love them. They make me feel happy, you know..."the blue bird of happiness"...must be true!

We just keep getting snow! It has snowed here for the last four days with more snow forecast for this weekend too! I think the bluebirds had better scatter happiness over me because I am getting a bit tired of waiting for Spring to come...she sure is late this year!

It is beautiful to sit in the house and watch the storms go though...a magnificent sight!

The views out my windows are wonders to behold though, so I will keep patiently waiting for Spring.

My daughters shared some of their Easter pictures with me this year.
Sophia reminds me of a little yolk inside a big pink Easter egg in this one!

Ahhh, that first dandelion...love at first sight!

This baby loves to swing!

Mom and daughter caught in a picture by dad... enjoying Easter goodies.

"You mean the Easter bunny hid all of this here just for me?"

"This is pretty cool stuff mom...I think I love the Easter bunny!"

A sweet family having a fun, first Easter with their little Sophia.
At least they found Spring in the far south of Utah this year, looks warm.

Poor little Caleb, he got sick and about two minutes after this photo was taken and threw up! They had a bit of a sad Easter with both of their little ones being sick, but they got some Easter fun in before it all hit them.

I think Ella found the chocolate!

They were at their other sweet grandma's house and even though they got sick and had to go home early, they had some fun. Caleb looks like he is loving coloring Easter eggs here.

And Ella just enjoys everything..even waiting for her egg to color!

Oh Yum! And just look at her eyes...I love her beautiful eyes!

She is such a pretty little thing!
"Come on someone, peel this egg for me!"

This has nothing to do with Easter but I laughed when I saw this and wanted to share it with you. It reminds me of the, "Little piggie went to the market" song. It was taken by some friends of ours who are in the Philippines on a mission for our church. I just thought it was cute and funny!

~Now for that recipe~

This is a not a yeast roll but more like a biscuit roll. It's easy and delicious!

"10 Minute Cinnamom Rolls"

Mix all of these dry ingredients in a large bowl;

2 cups flour
3 tsps. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 T. sugar

Add:
1/2 cup melted butter
Mix til the consistency of cornmeal.

Add:
2/3 cup milk
(This varies a bit, add til dough makes a
soft ball, with a little dry flour, with a little
dry flour mixture around the ball)

Roll out on a floured counter in a rectangular shape. Dough should
be 1/4 inch thick. Add 3 T. melted butter all over the dough.

Filling:

1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tsps. or more Cinnamon
(I also love to add some softened
raisins and chopped nuts.)
Spread all over buttered dough.

Roll up from lengthwise, pinching together slightly as you go.

Slice with a long piece of plain dental floss into 1 inch pieces.

Place on a Pam sprayed cookie sheet, about 1/2 inch apart.

Bake at 400' for 8-10 minutes, til slightly brown on top.

After they are done and mostly cooled, add a glaze on top, serve slightly warm.

"Glaze"
1/3 cup of packed powdered sugar
1 T. milk
(You can add flavoring if desired)

Glaze and enjoy these mouth watering goodies.
