Weekend Decorating!

This is what I did this weekend


I found these really nice frames at Micheal's Crafts for $14.00 they are 16" x 20". I let each kid paint what ever they wanted using color that are found throughout our bedroom. 
The sign above says "always kiss me goodnight" I have been looking for a sign like this everywhere but was unable to find it so I decided to make it myself (I will post a how to in a few days)

I am in love with the results and it ties the room together! 
Plus the kids are so proud to have their art work up on the wall.

Easy Herb Dinner Rolls

Serves: 9, Preparation time: 45 min

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cup flour 
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 teaspoon yeast (or one small package) I used fast rising 
3/4 cup warm water
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon of Italian spices
melted margarine, optional

Directions:
1. Mix 1 cup flour with the sugar, yeast and salt. Stir in warm water, Italian spices and oil. Beat until smooth (this will be very liquidy). Cover with a hand towel and let rise in a warm place for 15 minutes.

2. Stir in remaining flour and knead for about three minutes on a floured surface. Continue kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic. Divide dough into ~9 rolls and arrange in a greased baking pan or muffin tin. 

3. Cover and let rise another 15-20 min. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Brush tops of rolls with melted margarine, if desired. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until slightly brown.

Using a baking pan will make rolls with soft sides vs. the muffin tin which will make crusty sides. Either one is delicious!




Yummy results!



The original recipe was found on vegweb.com I made some changes to it. Here is the link to the original recipe
