CORNROWS for RAGNAR

So my little sister Janae is competing in the RAGNAR this weekend. To show my support, since I wouldn't train with her, I willingly fixed her hair. To make it easy to manage on this long weekend and so she didn't have to worry about her hair flipping her in the face while she ran, she chose CORNROWS. She texted me Thursday morning on my way home from work and needed them done by Thursday night. That didn't give me very long to figure out how to do them. After a few pics online and a youtube video. I think I figured it out.

Janae was very patient with me.... and we ended up going back and undoing the first ones once I got the hang of it. If any white chick could really pull off cornrows it would be Janae. Check her out!

Good luck this weekend! We're cheering for you!

My Latest Recipe

CINNAMON ROLLS

THE DOUGH

2 (.25oz) pkgs active dry yeast

2 1/2 cups warm water

1/2 pkg of yellow cake mix (9oz)

1 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

5 cups flour

THE INSIDE GOODNESS

1/2 cup butter (melted)

3/4 cup white sugar

2 tsp ground cinnamon

THE FROSTING

(or BUY cream cheese frosting)

3 cup confectioner's sugar

1/2 cup butter (softened)

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 Tbsp milk

DIRECTIONS: In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Let it stand until creamy (about 10 minutes). Then combine the yeast mixture with the cake mix, salt, and vanilla; stir well. Stir in the flour, beat well. Cover the bowl and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour. Deflate dough and turn it out on a well floured surface. Roll out into a rectangle and spread with melted butter. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar (combine in bowl before hand to make it easy). Roll up dough (so you have a long tube) and cut into 3/4 inch thick rolls. Place on greased baking pans. Cover and let rise until doubled (about 45 min). Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake rolls for 15-20 minutes. While rolls are cooling make frosting. Stir all ingredients together in a bowl. After the rolls have cooled a bit, spread with frosting and enjoy!
