Valentines

An easy homemade Valentine. A twinkie dressed up like a minion!

The heart says "I've been "minion" to wish you a happy Valentines Day!" I stole this idea from my sister in law, I love it and will be using it again next year for T's valentines!

This is what we sent out this year. We bought fake mustaches to go with them. The kids had a lot of fun taking these pictures! They thought it was especially funny that we put one on Levi.

Happy Valentines day!

I'm glad you took the idea from your sister-in-law and shared it. My kids are going to love it! Thanks a bunch.; January 28, 2013 at 10:34 AM

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!
