Almond White Chocolate Rolls with White Chocolate Frosting

Lucky me...my sister decided to make cinnamon rolls and orange rolls the other day.  Then I came up with a little idea for a new kinda roll...I love white chocolate, almonds, and craisins so what better than to try and combine these ingredients.  They were delicious!  We also added a little coconut to them.  Thankfully, my sister let me try them out with only 6 rolls.  Lets just say my butt might have grown a few inches if I had made any more!

Recipe:
Your favorite cinnamon roll bread mine is
1 quart hot water
1 1/3 c sugar
2 Tbsp salt
2/3 c shortening
7 c flour
2/3 c dry milk
4 Tbsp yeast dissolved in 2/3 c warm water
3-4 c more flour

mix first 6 ingredients.  Add yeast mixture, mix well, then add last flour.  Beat well.  Let rise 30 minutes.  Using one half of the dough roll out on floured table. This recipe makes around 36-40 large rolls. Place on pan.   Let rise, then bake at 350 for 20 minutes. 

Almond, White Chocolate Rolls with White Chocolate frosting:
1/4 c butter softened
1 c chopped almonds
1/2 c white chocolate chips chopped
1 c coconut
1/2 c craisins

Spread softened butter on rolled out dough.  Then sprinkle the remaining ingredients onto dough.  Roll and cut with either floss or thread.  You can cut the roll by sliding the thread under the roll and then crossing it at the top.  Pull tight and it should cut roll. 

White Chocolate Frosting
1 c melted white chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 c butter softenend
powdered sugar

mix all the ingredients together.  I never know exactly how much powdered sugar I need I just dump and mix until I get the right consistency.  If you end up making it too powdery just add a little milk to cream it up again.  Make sure to frost the rolls when they are good and hot.  It is best to have this frosting on the thinner side so that it will spread easily once the chocolate cools and thickens the mixture a bit. 

eFoods Food Storage Review

I was asked a few months ago to do a review on a food storage companies soups called eFoods.  Let me just say that I was really hesitant to try it out.  I wondered how something that would last up to 30 years in storage would taste good.

In all there was my husband, my sister, my 2 girls,  and I that ate the 2 soups.

We tried the creamy potato soup and the tortilla soup.  For the creamy potato soup I cooked up some bacon and chopped it up and added it to the soup.  It was really good.  It was for sure the family favorite. 

For the tortilla soup I has some leftover chicken in the fridge and added that to the soup.  This soup was good but we really loved the potato soup. 

We had about 1/2 of the tortilla soup left over after we all had eaten.  I had also made some cheddar bay biscuit to go along with our dinner.  We all left with out tummy's full and satisfied!  2 packets of the soup fed 5 people plus with some leftover

So if you want to give this soup a try make sure to enter code food40 for the soup pack or food50 for the 7 day food supply.  Also if you want to try the soups for just shipping and handling you can purchase it at www.efoodsoffer.com/
