Flax Seed Apple Cinnamon Rolls

Ok so I went to a bridal shower today and I was just truly inspired to cook again. Dallin and I have been trying recipes with low sugar. This is a great one!

Preheat Oven

  • 350 degrees F

Ingrediants

The dough:

  • 2 tbsp sugar (only so the dough would rise, substitute what you like… ie. Molasses)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 3/4 cup wheat flour (if you freshly grind up the wheat it’s even better!)
  • 1/2 cup flax mill (take flax seed and put it through a wheat grinder or you can buy the flax mill)
  • 3/4 cup white flour (+ a little extra to knead, use more wheat if you like!)
  • 2 tsp yeast
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 egg (or 2 egg whites)
  • 7/8 cup milk
  • 1/4 olive oil

The filling:

  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup butter to spread (I used Country Crock spread)
  • 1 apple chopped into tiny pieces (I used a hand chopper to do that)
  • 3/4 cup apple sauce
  • 1/2 cup raisins

Instructions

  1. Make the dough, mix well water, milk, eggs, and olive oil.
  2. Then add sugar, salt, cinnamon, wheat flour, flax, and yeast.
  3. Knead and add extra flour until dough consistency.
  4. Let it rise for 1 .5 Hours, then knead again.
  5. Roll out dough as if you were making cinnamon rolls.
  6. Spread butter on dough.
  7. Mix the apple pieces, apple sauce, raisins, and cinnamon in a small bowl
  8. Spread apple mixture on the dough.
  9. Roll the dough as if you were making cinnamon rolls.
  10. Slice the dough and put in 9×12 casserole dish (Makes about 12 rolls)
  11. Bake @ 350 degree F for 40-45 minutes or until dough is set
  12. YUM… eat it while it’s warm! Add some honey if you want it sweeter but the taste is already great!

Fish

POST BY DALLIN

May Bo learned how to bake a fish!!!

Woah now! not to fast…. A FISH a little squirmy thing with eyeballs and gills and little flippers?!!!!

YUP

And it was good.

Unfortunately all we have to show you of May Bo’s first cooked fish is the bones, because it was that good. Sorry, better luck next time!

Super CHUNKY Salsa

I made this a lot when I was with my roommates. Super fulfilling. You might enjoy it! Add some hot sauce if you want to make it spicy. My suggestion would be Valentina Salsa Picante (my neighbor introduced us to it)!

Ingrediants

  • 15 oz of Pinto Beans (1 can)
  • 15 oz of Black Beans (1 can)
  • 15 oz of Cooked Corn Kernels (1 can)
  • 2 Large tomatoes or a few small Roma tomatoes diced
  • 1 Green Pepper diced
  • 2-3 leaves of Cilantro chopped up small
  • 2-3 Tablespoons of diced Onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Garlic Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Onion Powerder

Instructions

  1. Chopped everything up and combined in a bowl!
  2. Let sit overnight so the flavor can soak in (but if you’re too tempted you can eat it right away too… it just won’t be as juicy) 🙂
