true confessions...

...i am a bit of a pioneer woman wannabe!!! i don't go there daily, but about once a week i head over to visit her with a cup of coffee in hand. she cracks me up as she shares about her life on the ranch. but mostly, i love her recipes! i currently have 5 pans of her cinnamon rolls in the freezer. i've made several different things and the family always gives two thumbs up.

a few months ago, i grabbed my coffee and sat down to check in with her. in searching through some older recipe posts i found this one for rosemary butter rolls i knew i'd have to give it a try. of course i consistently forgot the main ingredient each and every week. how hard is it to forget frozen rolls? apparently it isn't very hard.

well, on friday i threw some random ingredients into the crockpot to whip up some warm soup. i headed to the store with whiz boy in tow, and this time, i remembered the rolls! so home we came and i pulled out my new to me iron skillet, plopped those rolls in, covered them up then carried them all over the house looking for a sunny place to set those puppies to rise.




this is my "after" picture because they i was too eager to bite into that first one. OH MY WORD!!!!!! these are by far THE BEST rolls i have ever tasted. i had to substitute dried rosemary and forgot the sea salt so i did use a bit of table salt (sea salt would make them even better!). i just have to say that when the butter sizzled as i carried the skillet to the table i was a goner, but that first bite nearly made me melt!

the bottoms are so golden and have a slight crunch. the buttery tops melt in your mouth and the salt/rosemary combination??? AMAZING!

this is one simple recipe that leaves you feeling all fancy in your cooking and needing more self-control than you ever thought you'd need!

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
