Soft Dinner Rolls

This is one of the best roll recipes I have found.

Rolls

1/2 c sugar

2 teaspoons salt

2 Tablespoons yeast

2 1/2 C flour

Combine in a bowl

2 c milk

1/2 c butter

Place in a microwave safe bowl and heat until melted and hot (about 2 minutes). Stir into the dry ingredients.

Add 2 beaten eggs and beat until smooth. Stir in about 4 more cups of flour, one at a time. Dough will be sticky.

Turn onto floured surface and knead for 5 minutes.

Cover loosely and let rise until doubled- about 1 hour.

Shape into balls (golf ball size) and drop onto a greased cookie sheet.

Let rise 1/2 to 1 hour.

Cook at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes.

*I used half whole wheat in this recipe and added an extra half teaspoon of salt and they turned out great.

Corn Chowder- Slow Cooker Recipe

Corn Chowder- Slow Cooker Style

Corn Chowder

5 medium potatoes, skin on and cubed

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 pint half and half

1/2 c milk

1/2 pkg bacon, cooked & crumbled

1 onion, chopped and sauted

2 cloves minced garlic

1 can creamed corn

1 c grated cheddar cheese

salt & pepper to taste

Throw it all in a crockpot. Cook on low for about 4 hours or high for about 2 hours just until potatoes are tender.

*Instead of the half and half, I used 2 cups milk and 3 T butter. The soup was a bit lighter.
