High fives all around for making it to the weekend! Woohoo! Double high fives for not killing your children. Yay! We did it!!

My patience is certainly tested every.single.day with my two kiddos. I think the hardest part of not having a husband around to help is never getting a break! It is wearing me down for sure. Not to mention I’m paranoid my kids are going to get abducted in the middle of the night. I have no proof that they actually WILL, but my crazy irrational side of the brain has  definitely convinced my logical, no nonsense side that it’s going to happen….somehow.

Do you see how crazy I have become? Bahhhh!

Luckily, I only have 8 more days 🙂 Hurry up and get home, Gordie-pants!

In other news: my husband being away at Army training makes it really easy to purchase furniture online. I most definitely bought two sitting chairs yesterday using my iPhone whilst sitting on my fannie. AND, I found the perfect rocking chair for my nursery at…..wait for it…..COSTCO! Yes, it took me this long to find one. I’m indecisive. Who would’ve thunk it? So, I need to go back and get that at some point too.

So, yes. I’m crazy. So much so that I made cinnamon rolls out of pancake mix!! Yes’m I dogg-on-did it. And they are so yummy! Obviously the texture is more soft and tender like a really great scone, but the  swirls of cinnamon and raspberry will make you dream of lollipops and cupcakes. Super simple to whip up…just need a few ingredients you probably already have, a little time and some elbow grease!

Here’s how you make them:IMG_0084Start by measuring out 2 cups of Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix into a bowl with a little bit of granulated sugar.IMG_0097Stir in a little melted butter and set aside.IMG_0102Then in a measuring cup, stir together 1/2 cup warm water with an envelope of quick rise yeast and a tablespoon of sugar. Let it sit a few minutes until it gets foamy and all…..yeasty. IMG_0104Pour the yeast mixture directly into the pancake mix and stir. It will be really really sticky and won’t resemble dough. This is completely normal because…..IMG_0105you’re going to stir in 1/2 cup more pancake mix to thick it up.IMG_0110Like so! It’s still super sticky, but it has to be so the rolls are nice and moist!IMG_0111Now you can butter a bowl,IMG_0115and scrape out the dough into it. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. *I made this dough at night, hence the funky colored photos. IMG_0117Ahh! Arise and shine sleeping beauties!! We have rolls to make 🙂 Pull the dough right out of the fridge and lets get to work!IMG_0120Flour your clean work surface and the dough really well and squish it down evenly to roll out.IMG_0129Roll your dough to be slightly bigger than 12×12, then cut the uneven edges off to get a 12×12 square.IMG_0135Cover the entire area with seedless raspberry jam.IMG_0137Then sprinkle on some sugar and cinnamon! Yum yum!IMG_0141Roll then entire thing up pretty tightly,IMG_0143and cut into 6 2-inch pieces. {Feel free to cut into 8 smaller rolls and bake in a greased 9×9 square pan. }IMG_0148Place the rolls into parchment paper lined jumbo muffin tins and preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place pan beside oven to warm up to room temperature as much as possible before baking.IMG_0166After about 15 minutes in the oven, they are ready to come out and get a little glaze!IMG_0163This is just powdered sugar, vanilla and a splash of milk. Super simple.IMG_0172Drizzle the glaze over each of the rolls and enjoy! IMG_0177Be sure to eat these warm!! They are such a sweet and yummy treat! Come to mama…..Be sure to share this recipe with your friends and print it out so you can make them asap! Enjoy!

  2. Jennifer

    Totally intrigued by using the pancake mix. I will have to try this for sure. My favorite family meal would involve some type of unique salad, homemade rolls, and whatever main dish my kids will all eat without complaining. (it varies)

  3. Christina

    I love breakfast/ brunch with my family when we have lots of yummy things to offer. crustless quiche filled with cheeses, spinach and bacon, sausage links, breads/ muffins, fresh fruits, pancakes.

  4. Breanna M.

    Our favorite family meal is actually breakfast! We love to have breakfast foods for dinner because we think they taste better in the evening than they do in the morning! We’re silly like that!

  5. Tai F.

    Fave family meal- Your Oven-friend chicken thighs! My 5 yr old daughter has declared it her favorite chicken. We had to start buying Panko at Costco (with their Sweet Potato Fries) for a full meal. YUM!

  6. susan marie

    Our favorite family meal is anytime our children/grandchildren are home to visit. All 3 daughters are married and live at least an hour away – the one with our grandchildren lives 3 states away – so it’s really special to have a family meal with them, whatever we eat!

  7. beth w

    Fun recipe! my favorite family meal is island pork tenderloin. Pretty easy to do (especially with an iron skillet) and oh so tasty!

  8. SharonF

    My favorite meal would be fried chicken with mashed potatoes , green beans and sliced tomatoes. The veggies out of the garden of course.

  9. Maggie

    Honestly, any time my husband and I have a chance to sit down and just eat together is my favorite meal. Between commutes and overtime and responsibilities, all too often we eat in front of the tv, or have snacks while we do chores. Actually sitting at a table and taking the time to eat is a luxury.

  10. Jamie @lifelovelemons

    love that these are made with pancake mix! my favorite meal is probably pulled pork, or some other amazing BBQ!

  11. Terri C

    One of my favorite family meals is when my husband cooks on the grill and I prepare homemade Mac and cheese, baked beans and deviled eggs. My family really enjoys these meals.
