In the bustle of summer, we have to remind ourselves that the taste of vacations can alter the atmosphere as we serve onto our July table. A moment of creativity is a memory with a deep well-called family. Dipping into that well, we rekindle childhood experiences rushing to the forefront, remembrances of strawberry patches on grandpa's farm. Or grandma's large backside bent over lush bushes, picking into a basket for strawberry shortcake that evening. I remember Joseph my first born loaded in our radio flyer wagon as I pulled him down Boone's Ferry Road to pick "Drawdry's" on a warm summers morning. See, how quickly we can recapture an instance, filling our mouths before the french toast flips on a Sunday morning.
(A family favorite Baking Powder Biscuits.) I had ten forlorn strawberry's waiting, stems wilted, a bit past what I would pop into my mouth. Don and I over hungry, filled with coffee and the noon hour calling our brunch.
All the British baking shows I have obsessed over are continually adding a quick jam to there recipes. So, this 4th of July morning I wowed my honey with those ten overripe strawberries, got out saucepan, sugar and in just fifteen minutes of Om Gosh! Super easy!
STRAWBERRY July Jam. Any berries will do.

I enjoy baking shows but have no desire to put my skills up for the test. My public influence has a different bent. Food talks to me and helps me to process life, love my family and when I'm creative, I hear God's voice clearer.

For My Marine Cinnamon Rolls with homemade Cinnamon Syrup drizzled over Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.
A family gathering dessert.
A family gathering dessert.
Did you ever ask yourself why you bake? Is it the need to express love, to make ends meet? When your bake good touches the mouth of the recipient what message does it ring? This recipe is a loud proclamation of how proud I am of my marine. My firstborn, with his family surrounding, celebrated his homecoming dessert, heard through risen dough that he is unique and Mom honors him with his favorite. He is serving his 9th year as a marine, two tours in Afghanistan, exposing your "baby" to discord in ways, Mom's baking can heal the confusion left by the ugliness of man. That is how this cinnamon roll hit the table for dessert. Yes, my delights can heal the soul. Distance can make the heart grow fonder when slathered with treats that your little boy ate in the place we call home.

Ingredients: Sweet Roll Dough
2 packages active dry yeast dissolved in warm water.
1 cup warm water (105-115 degress) hot to touch my faucet water is adequate.
1 cup cooled scalded milk (Scald milk in a saucepan over medium heat, see the video When it makes a film on the side of the pan.
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cups shortening soften
2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
7-8 cups all-purpose flour (exchanging 1-2 cups with spelt flour is glorious)

2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
7-8 cups all-purpose flour (exchanging 1-2 cups with spelt flour is glorious)
    |
    |
Directions: Dissolve yeast in warm water, (stir several times for complete dissolving) set aside to cool. With Kitchen Aid mixer and paddle, cream shortening, sugar, salt & eggs, add 2 cups of flour, beat until smooth. Mix in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle, sticky to touch, Some people switch to bread making paddle at this point and add remaining flour. I enjoy the feel of the sticky dough and the pleasure of kneading in the rest of the flour. By hand, on a lightly flour dusted surface, I add the remaining 6-7 cups of flour. Do not shorten the process of kneading; it was about 1/2 hour for perfect dough. Pour a glass of wine, put on some "Italian Summer Radio" my favorite Pandora mix. Hand kneading is the love that separates out the wanna be bakers. Worth the effort. Knead until the dough isn't tacky and feels smooth and elastic. Imagine putting on a girdle, firm, full and smooth.
In large Crock Bowl (it's all about the bowl in my family) pottery bowl retains warmth which compliments the dough rising. Grease the inside of the bowl and place the ball of dough in the bowl. Flip it once, to moisten with (butter or shortening) the side that is air up. Keeps it from getting crusty or dry. Cover with a dampened towel to rise for 1 1/2 hours, till dough is doubled. My kitchen doesn't have a heater vent, so I cheat a bit and turn the oven on warm, turn the oven off, place your covered bowl of dough inside and prop open. Oven rack is warm to touch not hot.
Punch down dough,
grease large glass pans

Cinnamon filling:
1 cup vanilla sugar (I had leftover sugar from my press cookies during the holidays, this is a perfect use for it. Take 1 cup sugar and mix in with a fork 1 tsp of vanilla, add 1/8 ground cloves. Cover and set aside. (Vanilla sugar that is infused with a vanilla bean is preferred but expensive)
3 tsps Ceylon cinnamon
1 cup finely chopped nuts (For My Marine Recipe I used Macadamia Nuts & Almonds)
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup very soften butter

1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup very soften butter
Roll out dough on a lightly dusted surface in a large triangle shape. One side is a bit narrower than the other. Remember its supposed to feel like your rolling out your girdle. Elastic is good. Patience. 1/2 thick
Spread surface with softened butter, sprinkle cinnamon, vanilla sugar, more cinnamon if your like, layer nuts and raisins.
Starting at the narrow end of the dough, roll dough carefully enclosing your filling. With flap end down. Cut individual pieces about 2 inches thick, arrange into glass pan. Set aside to rise until doubled. Today it took 1 hour for the second rise. Cover dough with lightly greased wax paper and damp cloth, rising dough is sticky.
Bake at 375 degrees until golden brown 20-25 minutes, Prepare Frosting.

MORE GREAT FOOD |
People are "guinea pigs" in the nicest form. Us "foodies" tend to take great liberties using our guests taste buds. I served this hearty bowl of yum, during a church dinner with visiting Pastors. It was a hit. Great soup that works with all different kind of food restrictions. Into the freezer go the leftovers for a blustery day dinner. This bone marrow beef goodness will fill your families tummy. Easy, Gluten free, low carbs with a touch of red wine to give it richness. Another favorite of my families Farmhouse Chicken Stew.
I braised the meat the night before and put it in a crock pot to bring out all its brilliance by morning. I transferred the broth and shredded beef to my oven roaster to cook all day and wonderfully feed the gang.

Add the rest of beef broth, herbs, salt, wine and canned veggies. Cook down onions, celery and leeks first to save on over-cooking. Bring to 300 degrees for 1 1/2 hours and then turn down to a simmer for 4 hours. Add quinoa during the last hour of cooking. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon and freeze leftover.

I recently had the joy to spend a little over two weeks in England with a dear friend. Feeling a bit "home away from home." as England has adopted my heart. Putting my hands to the baking plow often is a therapeutic exercise. What better way to share with your own family the depth of relationship you felt than to celebrate a festive treasure from England. Brandy and a match made a brilliant showing with a Flaming pudding on Christmas Eve. The investment is well worth it. This merrie-ful treasure is worth the time contribution like our Champagne Cake. Try them both.
We found many of the dried fruits at our local organic trader store which saved a penny or two. A bit of brandy around the house serves this "couples" baking project making for a fun holiday date. I used the steaming time to wrap presents and enjoy all the twinkle lights in the house. Credit for the "original" recipe goes to Mary Berry from the BBC food channel. Don't you just love the Great British Bake-off! I'm enjoying honing a new skill with the best of them. Never let your pallet get bored. Families are the best guinea pigs.
Enjoy, Happy Christmas, Happy New Year.

Since I made two to serve our large family party, my brilliant husband had the great idea to use our free standing oven roaster. The turkey grate had handles that helped to lift the pudding basins out efficiently.
