The best day of your life on a plate with frosting.


I used my breadmaker on the dough setting to start out with add:
3 1/2 cups flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 pkg yeast
1/2 cup water mixed with 1/2 cup milk heated for 1 minute and 20 seconds in the microwave on high.
3 Tablespoons canola oil
let you bread machine knead and rise for you.
Roll the dough out and spread butter or magarine over it. Cover with brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll up and cut with floss. Let rise again in a 13x9 inch baking pan. Preheat oven to 350* cook until golden brown (mine took about 20 minutes).
Frosting:
3 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp salt
mix together while rolls are baking and frost before serving. These taste just like cinnabon!!!

Zesty Tacos

1 lb ground beef
1 cup water
1 envelope taco seasoning
8 taco shells
1 can (15 1/2 oz.) black-eyed peas, rinsed and drained
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup zesty Italian salad dressing

In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat. Drain. Stir in water and taco seasoning. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and cook for 4-5 minutes. Add black-eyed peas and italian dressing.
After peas are heated through remove from heat.

Spoon into taco shells, add lettuce, tomatoes and cheese.

We loved it!
