Pecan-Cinnamon Sticki Buns

Okay, Maria, here is the first of many recipies to come. I keep meaning to share so many with you, and then I thought you might enjoy it like this.

1/2-1cup pecans, chopped 1-3oz butterscotch pudding, not instant
3/4 tsp cinnamon 1/2 cup butter 3/4 cup brown sugar
18 Rhoades rolls (get the name brand, it actually makes a difference)

In a greased bundt pan, layer pecans first then frozen rolls. Sprinkle rolls wth dry butterscotch pudding. In small bowl, melt butter (microwave works great), then add cinnamon and brown sugar. Pour over rolls.

Let stand over night or for 8-10 hours to rise.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. The last 15 min. cover with foil. Remove from oven and tip out immediately on serving tray. You'll notice I left my pecans whole. It makes it easier for my kids to "pick out the nuts".

Enjoy! This is one of family favorites for holiday mornings or for whenever.

The Kitchen Table


I truly believe that the kitchen table is where you can get all your questions answered. My point was proved the other night.
Myles: Mom,(real serious, so I knew it was important) when I get older am I going to get hair in my armpits like you and Daddy?
Mom: (quickly thinking, did I shave today?) Yes Myles, you will.
Myles: Oh(silly grin, I could see the wheels turning in his head.
Jeremy: choking on dinner, turning away so he doesn't hack all over Evelyn.

Happy Halloween!




We had a great weekend! Friday we went to our church's trunk-r-treat. Jeremy and I won the costume contest as Hansel and Gretel. J is such a good sport. I actually made the girls' angel costumes! It was tough, but I enjoyed it. Myles went as a secret spy agent. That boy has a full bucket of candy. We haven't had that much candy in our house for a long time. I really enjoy Halloween with my children than when I was a child.
