:: Food - thanksgiving rolls

For Sunday dinner, we went to my sister's place and I told her I'd bring rolls.

Well, I wanted to try out a new roll recipe . . . just using food storage.

I found this recipe here from Everyday Food Storage and it was so delicious!

So if your assignment this Thanksgiving is to bring rolls, try this recipe.

You won't regret it!

Naomi’s Rolls

1/2 C. Sugar
1 Extra-Large Egg (2 T. Dry Egg Powder + 1/4 C. Water)
1 T. Shortening
1 C. Milk (3 T. Dry Powdered Milk + 1 C. Water)
1 t. Salt
4 1/2-5 C. Flour (enough to make a sticky dough) I usually do 1/4 to 1/2 Whole wheat flour
1 pkg yeast (2 1/2 t. yeast), softened in 1/2 C. lukewarm water

Beat sugar and egg. Scald milk; cool. Then add to sugar and egg. Stir in shortening, yeast, salt, flour. Let rise about 2-21/2 hours. Shape, cut, rise again about 1/2-1 hour. bak. (400, about 12 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 16 good sized rolls. You may want to double the recipe, as these rolls disappear fast!  Oh, and if you use Dry Powdered Milk, then you don't have to scald the milk!)

And she also has a tutorial on how to make perfectly round rolls.

It's easy and so fast to do!

Also, my sis-in-law is having a week of giveaways on her health blog!

I really want to win this necklace here.

Food Obsession: refrigerator garlic dill pickles

We planted a few cucumber plants this year and were amazed that the cucumbers keep on coming. So, we decided to make pickles out of them. I am pregnant, you know. What could be better. We were recommended this recipe here at dlynz.blogspot.com and decided to try it out.

And they're delicious!!! They taste like the real thing (although we didn't have the right kind of salt and so ours turned out way too salty - but if you wash them off before, they aren't terrible).

Happy pickling!
