crafty pants

I have been on a crafty kick-
These two things are super cheap and easy, I really like them both! If you are interested on how to make them, just ask and I will post the directions :)

Mom's Famous Cinnamon Rolls!



1/2 c. warm water (room temp. if it is too hot it will kill the yeast)
2 T yeast
2 cups milk
1/2 cup of oil
1 cup white sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 cup mashed potatoes (yes potatoes)
2 eggs beaten
7 cups of flour

mix all ingrediants in a mixer for about five minutes, then let the dough rise (I let it rise for about 2 hours).

knead dough and put on a floured counter top.


roll out dough into a rectangle, and put all the extras you want on it. I put about 3/4 of a stick, melted and cooled down butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.

roll the dough up and cut with a knife or a string, the thickness dependends on how thick you want them, I do them about a inch and a half?

put on a greased cookie sheet and let them rise until almost doubled in size

bake at 375 for 20 mins. Frost with frosting of your choice- Shawn loves the cream cheese frosting so that is what i did :)

ENJOY!!!
