Easy Caramel Cinnamon Rolls

 These are a new treasure at our house, warm rolls filled with brown sugar and cinnamon and topped with gooey caramel sauce and chopped pecans!  I am always looking for recipes for breakfast that I can make the night before to help with the morning rush.  Simple to make using frozen bread dough and yummy to eat.  My family likes a lot of caramel on their rolls so I double the heavy cream and powdered sugar mixture to give it the extra goo my family loves.   Enjoy!

Ingredients

· 1¼ cups powdered sugar

· 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream

· 1 cup pecans coarsely chopped

· 1/2 cup brown sugar

· 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

· 2 frozen white bread dough loaves thawed

· 3 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions

1. Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray.

2. In a small bowl, mix together the powdered sugar and heavy whipping cream. It will be a thick paste, which is normal.

Spread into the baking dish using a spoon or spatula.

3. Sprinkle pecans over top.

4. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon in small bowl, set aside.

5. On a surface, sprayed with cooking spray & lightly floured, roll out 1 loaf into a rectangle [roughly the same size as the 9x13 pan]. Pour half of the butter onto the dough and spread it out. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon/sugar mixture over the butter.

* You may need to let the thawed dough sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make it softer and easier to roll out.

6. Roll up the dough [roll up from the longer side of the rectangle shape, not the shorter sides] and cut dough roll into 8 pieces.

Place each piece in the pan on top of the pecans. Do 4 rows of 4 cinnamon rolls in each row.

7. Repeat with the 2nd loaf of bread.

8. Cover the dish with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with cooking spray [the part of the plastic wrap that touches the rolls].

9. Leave in fridge overnight. In the morning, let the baking dish sit out, covered, at room temperature for 1 hour.

10. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes.

11. Let the baking dish cool for 5 minutes.

12. Carefully take your pan and turn it upside down, over a serving platter or cutting board, and serve warm.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!

Scrumptious Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies are one of my favorite things to make with the kids! It's tradition to make them for a few different Holidays including Valentine's Day. While decorating is the usually the main purpose in making these, over the years I have tweaked the cookie recipe and frosting to make them absolutely scrumptious as well! So much yummier that buying a store-bought mix and canned frosting.  I would even be so bold as to say I think they are every bit as good, if not better, than Swig and Crumble! Give them a try and see if you agree.   My Scrumptious Sugar Cookie Frosting is an ultra creamy, cream cheese frosting with a few extra additions that put it over the top! Sour Cream adds to the creaminess and takes the sweetness down a notch.  The frosting is still plenty sweet but not sickeningly so.  Butter Vanilla Emulsion is my other secret weapon that really elevates the flavor of this frosting! It can be found on Amazon, or in a craft store like Michaels,  but...
