Hagerman

Craig and I went to Hagerman yesterday to spend some quality time with my family. The whole family was there and as you can see by the pictures there is a lot of us. We had such a fun time playing with nieces and nephews, playing Apples to Apples, playing volleyball, emptying the swimming pool(some chemicals got put in the pool..not good), taking family pictures in the wind, and just being crazy. Enjoy pictures of the Stewart Clan.
Here is Alyssa and Annie they are the youngest of the family well except for the little baby Kathy is expecting.
Janna, Kathy, and Ben playing Apples to Apples.

Cinnamon Roll Recipe....Yummy

Cinnamon Roll Recipe....Yummy
This is my Mother-in-laws cinnamon roll recipe that is absolutely delicious. Laura made a comment on facebook about how good they turned out and for all of you that wanted the recipe here you go. I love this recipe because it is quick and easy. Enjoy because they are absolutely delicious. The secret she said is to keep the dough as sticky as possible. Oh and funny story I accidentally posted this twice on our old blog. haha

IN LARGE BOWL:
Pour 2 C Boiling Water over:
1/2 C. Sugar
1 t Salt
2 Tbl butter or margarine-Stir until butter melts. Let cool(Put in Fridge).

Meanwhile,Beat 2 eggs in separate small bowl and set aside.

IN ANOTHER SMALL BOWL:
1/2 C Warm Water(not too hot or yeast will deactivate)
1 Tbl Yeast(1 Packet)
1 tsp sugar

When first mixture is not hot anymore add eggs and whisk slightly, then add third mixture.Add Flour until slightly sticky to hands(approx 6 cups). Mix with beaters, then spoon towards the end. Cover with Pam sprayed Saran wrap and rise to double.(Can heat oven to 225 and turn off, and put dough in over to rise faster).

Soften 1 C Butter.

Flour Counter, place doubled dough on counter and knead slightly. Press out to wide rectangle shape approx 1/2 " thick. Rub softened butter all over top of dough. Coat with brown sugar, sprinkle with lots of cinnamon and walnuts if desired. Roll top to bottom. Cut 1" wide with Pam Sprayed spatula. Place in 9x13 pan or muffin pans and bake at 375 for 12-15 minuets. Make sure center is done.

1/2 tsp vanilla extract
