Merry Christmas! I hope all of you had as good of a day as I did! We got our first opportunity to stay at our home for Christmas morning and although it did lack some of the crazy family fun, we were not disappointed. We got up about 7 with the girls and L was still a little sleepy so she was not quite ready to be super excited. She checked out the pile of gifts under the tree from her daddy's arms and when prompted replied that Santa had brought her a new car (Barbie Jeep!). She then proceeded to look over and note that her younger sister G had been left a small kitchen by Santa. "I can get it down for her" she says. She then proceeds to get down, walk over to the kitchen, get it down, takes it to G and shows her how it all works :0) They played with it for several minutes before with encouragement L began to open her gifts. She then opened all of her presents, G's presents (she needed help), and even helped mommy and daddy open their stockings too. Such a special little girl! Here is the recipe for a sweet breakfast treat! I got it from my mother-in-law. Her recipe included a 1/4 c mini chocolate chips that you throw in right before you bake it but I find it slightly odd so I think in the future I might just leave them out. Feel free to add them in if you want. Enjoy!
Cinnamon Breakfast Ring
1/2 c. butter softened
2 cans regular cinnamon rolls (with icing)
1 (3.4 oz) pkg, vanilla pudding (NOT INSTANT!)
1/2 c. brown sugar (packed)
1/4 c. mini chocolate chips (Optional)
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 12 c. bundt pan (with 1 Tbsp. of the butter or cooking spray). Melt remaining butter in a small microwave bowl for 1 minute or until melted. separate cinnamon rolls into 16 pieces. Cut in half. Place half of the roll piece in the bottom of the bundt pan. Sprinkle with half of the pudding, half of the brown sugar, and half of the melted butter. Repeat layering once more. Sprinkle with chocolate chips here (optional). Bake for 24-28 minutes or until rolls are a deep brown. Cool in pan for 2 minutes. Invert onto a serving platter and cool for 15 minutes. Microwave icing for 10 seconds to soften and drizzle the icing over the ring!
