Hot Cross Buns

Okay, so I have become completely OBSESSED with these!  I absolutely love them.  The recipe comes from my sister-in-law who is an amazing cook and baker.  She keeps some of her favorite recipes posted to her blog HERE.  

I have grown accustomed to having these tasty little rolls at Christmas, Easter and even Thanksgiving.  They are a great holiday roll and you do most of the work early in the day and just bake them right before dinner.  

These do require a bit of work, but trust me, they are SO worth it! 

Follow along and I'll show you how to make these tasty guys:

Pot Roast (Crock Pot)

I've been making this pot roast for several years now and I love it every time.  This is so incredibly easy to make.  Anyone can do it.  Seriously, anyone. Even my husband could manage this one.  Plus, there are only 5 ingredients and the crock pot does all the work.  

If you've kept up with past posts, you know how much I love my crock pot and any meal that cooks itself while I'm away, and the family is well fed at the end of the day!  Bonus!

Cinnamon Raisin Bread

There's nothing quite like the smell of fresh, homemade bread to make your house smell like a home.  Plus the kids like to eat this almost as fast as I do.  Therefore, freshly baked bread does not last long in my house.  But that's ok, it's still worth the effort!  

For those of you who don't have a bread machine, this recipe is for you.  No bread machine required.  This one is done the old-fashioned way... you know, in bread pans in the oven.  I have to admit, I have become addicted to using my bread machine.  But sometimes I like the way a bread comes out when it's all done by hand.  

Follow along and I'll show you how to make this awesome bread that my husband said looks like I bought at Great Harvest or somewhere similar.  I'll take that as a compliment, thank-you!

White Chili Soup

So, since I am currently working on my nursing degree and taking care of a home, two children, a dog AND of course the husband... I find myself falling more in love with my crock pot than ever before.  I love being able to throw everything in the crock pot in the morning, and when I get home from school dinner is ready!  It's awesome.  My family can live off of more than Ramen noodles!  They appreciate it too.  

So if you are looking for something you can do easily in the crock pot that tastes great, give this one a shot.  Follow along and I'll show you how to make it:

White Bread Machine Rolls

These are the all white version of my previously posted whole wheat rolls.  These are so easy to make when the bread machine does all the work and they turn out nice and fluffy.
