Cinnamon Rolls

These were so good, very easy and Mairi really enjoyed helping make them as well.

Bread Machine Cinnamon Rolls

1C milk
1 egg
4T butter
3T sugar
1 1/2t salt
3 1/3C bread flour
2t dry active yeast



add to bread pan in order listed
use dough cycle

When cycle is done, place dough on floured surface. Knead dough about 1 minute, then let rest 15 minutes. Roll dough into a rectangle, about 15 x 10 inches.

Filling:
1/4C melted butter
1/4C sugar
2t cinnamon
1/3t nutmeg
1/3 cup chopped and lightly toasted nuts (optional, i did not use these)

Spread 1/4 cup melted butter over dough to within 1 inch of edges, Then sprinkle 1/4 cup sugar, the cinnamon, nutmeg, and chopped nuts evenly over dough. Roll dough up tightly on long side. Press edges to seal and form into a 12-inch long, evenly shaped roll. With a knife or 8 inch long piece of dental floss, cut roll into 1 inch pieces. Place rolls cut side down into a greased 13 x 9 inch baking pan. Cover and let rise in warm, draft free place until double in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.

***sidenote: i personally mixed the sugar and spices all together and shook it out via a shaker. I have also heard it's even better to mix the butter, sugar and spices all together. I will try that next time and let you know. ***

Bake in preheated 375 degrees F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool in pan on rack for 10 to 15 minutes, then drizzle with powdered sugar icing made by combining 1 cup powdered sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons milk and 1/2 teaspoons vanilla. Blend until smooth. If too thin or too thick, add more powdered sugar or milk, respectively, until desired consistency is reached. Cut apart and remove from pan.

***i do not like this traditional icing, I prefer a buttercream or cream cheese-so i made a vanilla buttercream for them, just added some butter to the icing mix***

Jen's Before and Current

About halfway thru R1 (Phase 1) with my Restoration Wellness plan. Down 17lbs, which is crazy. I don't think I've ever lost more than 10lbs a month before, even when I was over 300lbs and ultimately lost 150lbs. It required a lot of thinking, planning, measuring, weighing, thinking about food all the time and being at the gym EVERY day. This is so much easier. I do want to get back in the gym, but on my time for my own wellness, not as simply a weight loss tool. But because I enjoy moving my body and being active. Completely different mindsets. My pics yet aren't as dramatic as Keith's, even though I've lost a few pounds more than him. But that's ok, enjoying the journey and progress not perfen and all that :) Starting Weight 262.4 Current Weight 245.4 (3 weeks progress)

Chicken Wing Dip

Seems like there's many varieties and ways to make this-this is what I do, and Keith loves it-I think it's pretty good too, but I can only eat so much of it, it's kinda greasy and I don't know...good but I like it in a buffet eating it with a LOT of other stuff, not as a main course or anything. Keith disagrees :) Thanks to BETH for introducing us to this magical dip LOL Chicken Wing Dip 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened 3/4 cup wing sauce of your choice (we use Frank's) 1 cup bleu cheese 2 cups diced cooked chicken 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese preheat the oven to 350 In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese and sauce until well blended. Mix in the bleu cheese, chicken and Cheddar cheese. Spread into a 9x13 inch baking dish Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven. If oil collects on the top, dab it off using a paper towel. Serve with tortilla chips.

Week 2!

Week 2 Progress Pics and info from my Restoration Wellness journey. Weight has gone from 262.4 to 249.9 in 2 weeks!!! That's 12.8lbs in 2 weeks, woohoo! In other body changes- My BMI (which is dumb but whatever its another tool) went from 44.9 to 43.1 My Body Fat Percentage went from 53.2% to 48.1% My Body Fat Mass went from 139lbs to 120.8lbs And prob the biggest success is that my viseceral fat went from 17 layers down to 14 layers, which is 3 layers of visceral fat GONE and that's the WORST fat and DANGEROUS fat, so that's freaking AMAZING and huge and shows that I am 1000% in fat burning mode, let's go!! Burning my own fat for energy!!! It's always really hard for me to see changes in pictures, but committing to being present in this journey and not waiting til "the end" or I'm last embarrassed by how much weight I gained back or how fat and whatever I feel.
