Cinnabunnies

The cinnamon rolls are in the oven and they smell SOOOO yummy!  I thought I would get a head start on writing this up before I post pictures.  So here you go:

I thought I would post a fun Spring/Easter treat.  They are so easy to make, and could be a great activity to do with the kids.  Oh and did I mention..... Very Tasty!  Who doesn't love a good cinnamon roll?!

Here's the Ingredients:


  • Candy to decorate the face
  • Thinly sliced almonds for the teeth (if you choose to have them, I chose not to)
  • Cream cheese frosting (comes with the cinnamon rolls, but it never seems like they give you enough, so I bought a can of it)
  • 10 large Cinnamon rolls (2 cinnamon rolls makes up one bunny, so however you need. I made 5 so I got 2 cans of the Pillsbury ready to bake cinnamon rolls)

Directions:

1.  Preheat oven to cooking directions on Cinnamon Roll can

2. Grease baking sheet

3. Place a cinnamon roll onto the baking sheet. 

4.  Unroll another cinnamon roll, bending it to look like ears.  Place in baking sheet, barely touching the other cinnamon roll.




4.  Repeat as many times as you can with the cinnamon rolls spaced well on the sheet.


5. Bake until golden brown (follow baking times on cinnamon roll cans)


6. Let cool.


7.  Decorate!  Have fun!!!

Noodle and Turkey Casserole



Every month since December, I have been able to get together with some friends to hang out, eat good food, and exchange recipes.  This month, we did casseroles.  I was kind of at a loss for ideas on this one.  I have never made a REAL casserole before.  It's just Joe and I in the house, so a casserole would be lunch and dinner for several days.  (I'm not exaggerating.  I think this casserole left overs lasted us about a week).

This recipe comes from my mom.  It's very simple to make.  I remember asking my mom to make it for me all the time when I was a kid.  Every year for birthdays we get to pick our birthday dinner and I would also choose this casserole.  Here's the recipe!

Ingredients
1 regular can of cream of mushroom soup (10.75 oz)
1 small container of sour cream
1 regular can of corn (14-16 oz)
A couple of slices of bread
Stick of butter
1 package of egg noodles
1 pound ground turkey
Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
1. Cook and drain ground turkey
2. Cook noodles according to package directions
3.  Mix together cooked noodles, turkey, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and corn together in a small bowl.  Add salt and pepper to taste. 
4. Spread in a casserole dish
5. Melt stick of butter in the microwave.  Brake bread slices into smaller pieces and dip into the butter.  Lay onto mixture in casserole dish.



6.  Bake for 15-20 minutes, just until everything is warmed through.  This shouldn't take long since everything is already precooked.
