Everyone’s Favorite Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

This may not be one of the easiest recipes on my blog but they sure are delicious! My oldest son requests these every time he comes home so we really try to make them happen. They are a favorite ‘go-to’ for special days and we recently had them for breakfast before the latest baby shower. We also had them for breakfast before the wedding last year.

Forgive the cover photo as I used leftover icing to ice these with… I’ll try to get a better photo the next time I make them 🙂

Everyone’s Favorite Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

This is a multi-step process and need a little preparation but they are so worth all the extra effort! These can make any day a special day and we often have them on the mornings of special holidays or events.

Ingredients:

Dough:

  • 5 c.  Flour (If using self-rising flour you can omit the next 3 ingredients)
  • 2 c. shortening or butter
  • 2/3 c. sourdough discard
  • 1 1/2 – 2 c. Buttermilk (you can use regular milk and add 1 T. Vinegar)
  • 1 ½  t. salt
  • 2 T. honey (optional)

You can wait and add these right before baking but I usually add them while I make everything else… adding it later will help them to be extra fluffy!

Cheddar Chicken

This is a huge favorite here at our house. So much better than any chicken nuggets you can buy also. My kids love to eat them with ranch dressing. Continue reading “Cheddar Chicken”

Pumpkin Honey Pancakes

This is a brand spanking new recipe in our house! It came about after I made some Pumpkin Muffins for our Pantry Challenge week. I was trying to use up some of the frozen pumpkins I had in the freezer. My 3-year-old fell in love with them and he insisted that on Thursday, Pancake day, we needed Pumpkin Pancakes.

He was up bright and early Thursday morning to help Momma. We made our basic Pancake recipe and then added the pumpkin. Added a little spice and it needed to be sweetened so he suggested some honey. (Yesterday was Winnie the Pooh day and we know what he loves to eat.) Below is the recipe that we came up and they were delicious! Continue reading “Pumpkin Honey Pancakes”

Crockpot Cream Cheese Chicken

This is a great way to use up leftover chicken and it is a family favorite too! I wasn’t too sure about it when I first made it several years ago but my oldest son fell in love with it. We usually eat it over a bed of rice but you can also eat it over noodles, Cauli-Rice, or even spaghetti squash… yum!

We love to serve this with Cole Slaw and rolls or homemade bread with butter… so good!
