~ It feels like just yesterday I sat down in front of the computer and posted, but my blog would beg to differ. :o) It has been quite busy around here with snow, snow, and more snow. Not as much as Wisconsin but a pretty fair amount. We much enjoy sledding and simply playing in the snow. After church we stayed and went sledding with a couple families, and we made a huge ramp to get us going *really* fast.

A Couple *Scrumptious* Recipes I have Recently Tried:
Easy Dinner Rolls
Ingredients:
2 packages dry yeast (about 4 1/2 tsp.)
3/4 cup warm water
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup butter, melted
3 to 3 1/2 cups flour, divided
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar, salt, egg, butter, and 1 cup flour; mix well. Stir in enough flour to make soft dough; mix well. Shape dough into ball. Grease dough, turning to grease all sides. Return dough to bowl. Cover; let rise until doubled. Punch down and shape into balls; let rise for 30 minutes longer. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Yields about 12 rolls.
Oatmeal Bread
Ingredients:
4 cups boiling water
2 cups oats
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup honey
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons salt (or just shake some in)
2 tablespoons yeast
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup vinegar
12 to 14 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour boiling water over oats, whole-wheat flour, sugar, butter, and salt; mix well. Cool until lukewarm. Dissolve yeast in 1 cup warm water. Mix into batter along with vinegar and all-purpose flour. Set in warm place and let rise until doubled. Punch down and shape into four loaves. Bake for 30 minutes or until done.
~ I split the Oatmeal Bread recipe in half because I didn't want to make four loaves since I wasn't sure if it would be any good. Splitting it in half turned out just fine, and it tasted *wonderful*. I love trying any kind of bread recipe! Bread is my absolute favorite.

Just finished reading: Sense and Sensibility (beautiful!) and The Shunning by Beverly Lewis
I am reading: Jane Eyre and waiting to get The Confession, which comes after The Shunning, from the library
I recently watched: Sense and Sensibility! :o) and One Night With the King
