Pinterest Breakfast

I find that Pinterest is a new obsession for many people, including me. I've especially enjoyed trying new recipes that I've found while perusing others' pins. This one came from a blog called All Things Delicious, and is called


STICKY BUN BREAKFAST

2 small tubes refrigerator buttermilk biscuits OR 1 tube Pillsbury Grands buttermilk biscuits*
3 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted
1/2 C. pancake syrup
1/3 C. packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 C. chopped pecans, opt.**
1/4 C. chopped almonds, opt.

Spray a fluted pan with non-stick spray. Combine the melted butter and syrup in a small bowl and set aside. In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts (if desired).

Place about half of the syrup mixture in the bottom of the pan. Then sprinkle half of the brown sugar mixture on top.

Lay the biscuits on the bottom of the pan, standing them on their sides closely together to form a ring.

Top with remaining syrup and sugar mixtures.


*I didn't have 2 cans of biscuits or any Grands. I used a tube of Pillsbury's Rustic French Bread, slicing it into 1/2 inch slices that looked liked biscuits. Then I added biscuits from the one can I had. I ended up using 8 biscuits. Next time I make this, I will use 2 tubes of the French bread. It was awesome!

**I used walnuts.


It was a great thrown-together breakfast and looked gorgeous. (I'm taking pictures and promise to one day learn how to add them here. I'm a doofus!)

Christmas Treasures

The Jacks came to my house to spend 3 days at Christmas. That's my sister Diana's family. What a blessing! One of the best parts of their visit was that I learned about their family traditions during the holiday. One of the BEST is the Christmas morning breakfast!

The night before Christmas, while no-one-is-stirring-not-even-a-mouse, Diana is, with Dennis at her side! They're putting together the cinnamon buns the family will enjoy after opening stockings on Christmas morning.

CHRISTMAS EVE SHORTCUT CINNAMON BUNS
(shared by Diana Jack, who got it from www.savingdinner.com, Leanne Ely, CNC)

20 unbaked frozen dinner rolls (Bridgeport or something similar)
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup instant vanilla pudding mix
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butter, melted

Lightly grease a 10-inch bundt cake pan. Place frozen rolls in the pan and sprinkle with brown sugar, the pudding mix, and cinnamon. Pour melted butter over the top. If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a muffin tin, but they turn out better in a bundt pan.

Cover with a clean, damp cloth and leave overnight at room temperature to rise.

In the morning, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake rolls for 25 mins, until golden brown. Turn rolls out onto a serving plate and dig in!

(note from Deb: I heated the leftovers in foil 2 days later, and they were still awesome!)
