Easy Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon Rolls are the greatest snacks, desserts, and breakfast food! In this video, I make them from scratch using my own technique and the recipe for bread dough. https://www.tyronebcookin.com/2009/05/easy-bread-dough.html 

If you would rather not make the dough, buy pizza dough balls from your local grocer.

I do not use a sweetened dough for Cinnamon Rolls because there is enough added sweetness in the filling and glaze.

Peanut Brittle! (and the secret to not breaking your teeth!)

 

We're making peanut brittle with the boys. Steph goes through the steps. The addition of the baking soda at the end creates air bubbles in the brittle. This maintains the crackly goodness of the brittle BUT keeps you from breaking your TEETH! It's DELICIOUS!

The Perfect Cheesecake!

 

 
Looking for the perfect cheesecake recipe? This is a classic New York style cheesecake with a cookie crust and high sides. We also add some leftover "Halloween" candy! It is dense, rich, and light at the same time. But we can't take credit for the recipe we just bumbled through it for some excellent results!

GRILLING! Metal skewers for the WIN!

PRO TIP wood skewers ALWAYS burn. I don't care if you soak them all day. 

Use metal skewers even when cooking sausage, hot dogs, chicken satay, vegetables, fruit...because the metal heats up and cooks it inside as well. Which also reduces the time it takes to cook.

Tytus and I are just "chillin' and relaxin'" throwing some food on the grill for Sunday supper. I am teaching him why I do things the way I do them and enjoy spending time with my son. He loves cooking as well as the filming aspect of making these videos.

Favorites This Week

 Below are a few things I found this week I like. Each picture was borrowed from, and has a link to the original post so hopefully I am not breaking online etiquette. Merely trying to bring attention to some cool ideas and a few new things.[click pics for link back to articles]

Use tubing to seal cracks and spaces between appliances and counters to keep food crumbs from falling in between!

How many of you really know what to do with the Humidity Controls in your refrigerator to keep your food fresh? (...don't forget to read the comments after the article too, they are helpful)

New Spatula idea...seems cool, may be worth having one. Great start-up concept using kick-starter to get things rolling.

 

Lodge Cast Iron has a new pan that touts stainless steel handles that stay cool so you don't burn yourself. The pan itself looks like a great modern version of the old cast iron pan...But I don't think at this price point (around $60) it will ever romance you away from mama's or grandma's old set of well taken care of pans. Not to mention buying new pans in the old style is much less than the above mentioned cool design iron pan. - Good luck with that, cast iron pan makers!
