Good morning. Thought for the day: Be careful what words you speak, they last an eternity.
We have been very busy doing outside fall cleaning. I was also sick for a few days which means I did nothing for nearly a week.
This morning I made cinnamon rolls with a new recipie which I will add at the end. They are made the afternoon before then baked in the morning. The house smells so fresh and sweet!
I also have a recipie for a meat marinade. You can soak any meat and it is delicious. I have done turkey and roast and both were well liked by my family.
We have a dusting of snow on the ground and very cold. Winter seems to have come around early this year.
Here are the recipies:

Cinnamon rolls
Mix 1 T. yeast 1T. sugar 1 cup warm water and set aside
1 cup shortning 1T. salt 1 1/2cup sugar Beat together and add 4 eggs, beat again. Add 4 cupswar, water. Then add yeast mixture. Add enoughflour to make soft dough, let rise. Punch down every hour 3 to 4 times. Roll out,spread with butter, sugar and cinnamon. Roll up and cut, place in pans, let rise overnight. Bake next morning at 350 for 15 - 20 min.
I then made this frosting for the rolls.
1/2 cup butter 1 cup brown sugar Boil together for 2 min. stirring constantly. Then add 1/4 cup cream and bring to boil. Cool to lukewarm, then add 1 3/4 to 2 cups powdered sugar. If it gets to stiff add a little boiling water.

Marinade:
1 cup tenderquick
10 cups water
1 teas. salt peter
1 T liquid smoke
3 T brown sugar
Soak meat in refrigerator for 3 days then bake as usual.

Good luck to you who try these recipies. I like very simple and quick recipies as you might be able to see.
