Chebe cinnamon rolls make me happy!

Since going gluten free a few years ago (2.5 to be exact) due to Crohn's disease, there are still some foods I am sorely missing. I can now cross cinnamon rolls off that list! I realize that these may be old hat to some of you, but the store I go to finally started carrying Chebe mixes. I love the Chebe pizza crust, so I was very excited to try the cinnamon roll mix. I made a batch of 12 mini rolls this morning. The ingredients list could not be easier, applesauce, oil, one large egg & some rice milk, and of course the Chebe mix.



Just mix it with a fork & knead it with your hands. Roll it out into long strings & coil it up...



Cook at 375 for 20 minutes...* Smother with your favorite butter or butter substitute (I reccomend Earth Balance natural buttery spread)& add some frosting. I used Cherrybrook Farms gf frosting. It was good on the rolls, but it would be so annoyingly sweet on a cake. The texture is different from 'normal' rolls, but that is to be expected. These are very chewy on the inside and I happen to like that ♥



*The instructions claim you need to cook these for 30-35 minutes. Do not listen to those instructions. I don't know if it's because I have an older stove that cooks like crazy but after 20 minutes they were done and starting to burn! We took the grater to the bottoms and removed all the burned parts so they were perfectly fine and great tasting. phew....

New Years Resolutions

Happy 2010! This year I have decided that I will try to give this blog some attention. Last year I had such high hopes, but I got quickly overwhelmed.
I'm not positive of the exact direction I'm going with it, but I think I want to make this blog a mix of all the things I love and live with on a day to day basis.
Can't wait to see where we are on Jan 1st 2011!

Top 5 New Year Goals
I'll say goals because they sound like less pressure than resolution.

1. Keep up on Blog...read above ;)

2. Learn to take better pictures. I need to make a light box and really learn my camera inside and out.

3. Work on my website. CapricornOneVintage I would like that to be fully functional in the next few months.

4. Be more organized. In my workspace and living space. I'm a terrible pack rat and clutter collector. Is it really that hard to throw it out or put it away? (yes)

5. Eat a bit healthier. I have crohn's disease and eat gluten free, potato free, soy free & mostly dairy free. There are so many good foods availiable that are pre packaged, but it would be in my best interest to learn some better recipes.

I hope if you have some goals or resolutions that you are able to meet them head on and make this a fantastic year and lovely start to a whole new decade!
