mmmmmmm. . . .

It has been a super quiet day here on the home front. The horrible stomach flu has been going around and decided to hit my family this weekend. Seriously. . . all at once. The hubby and I are better, but poor Ethan is still working out the rest of it (I think it's coming to an end, though). I have been pouring my energy into cleaning our house and ridding it of germs. . . let's just say I am on a germ killing spree! Unfortunately, I have a lot of other things to do, so I am having to ration out what I do each day so I can focus on the projects. Tonight. . . my goal is to finish Weston's blanket. It's almost done and should have already been done, but that darn flu bug knocked me down for a good 4 days and I am just now getting my groove back.

However, before the flu bug hit, and even before family left to go back to Wyoming, I made these:

cinnamon rolls, you say? Yes, but not just any cinnamon rolls. . . BLUEBERRY cinnamon rolls. Let me just say, they were so yummy. I got the idea from here, but made it my way. . . the bread machine way.

I used this recipe for the bread dough.

• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1/4 cup white sugar
• 1 egg
• 
  
• I put all my liquid ingredients in first, followed by the dry ingredients, saving my yeast for last. Before I put my yeast in, I make a little hole in the dry ingredients and pour my yeast into that. After that, I put my bread machine on bread cycle and let it do the work (I may have mentioned before that I am a bit lazy when it comes to bread. . . and hey, I just had my second child, I am not sure I even have time to knead bread myself!).

• After that, I mixed some sugar and cinnamon in a bowl (I really am not sure, but next time I would use more sugar), and rolled out my dough. After that I sprinkled my sugar mixture over it and some rinsed fresh blueberries, rolled it up and cut it into slices. From there, I let it rise overnight and stuck it in the oven the next morning. What a great way to start a Saturday! These did not last long. In fact, I had to quickly get a picture before they were all gone. . . and this was all that was left!
