Homemade cinnamon rolls. I can hardly think of three words more welcome on a wintry morning. Just saying them is soothing somehow, calling up visions of warm, butter-rich bread and icing as smooth as fresh, unsullied snow. Homemade cinnamon rolls. Say it, and the tongue does a little jig, then curls up and purrs like a cat on a pillow.
I love the idea of homemade cinnamon rolls. But that’s the problem. I love the idea. The reality is another story. I feel awfully silly saying this, but I’m intimidated by yeast. Making cinnamon rolls, of course, means working with yeast. That’s where the trouble starts. zumba fitness
The secret, I discovered, is rapid-rise yeast. Unlike active dry yeast, this variety requires no proofing, which-whew!-means it can be mixed right in with the dry ingredients. The dough, enriched with milk and butter, is no trickier than a typical cake batter. It’s impossible to mess up. insanity workout
Making cinnamon rolls, it turns out, is the ultimate in tactile pleasure: the rolling and the filling; the soft butter and cinnamon sugar; the fat, tender spiral of dough; the way it warms chilly fingers. I was hooked from the very start. I made them once, twice, half a dozen times. I even got cocky, tweaking the recipe here and there. It’s better than a million bakery-made specimens. (Trust me. I know.) Each time I take that first bite-still warm, I should note, and slightly, perfectly gooey inside-I curse myself from head to toe for being such a scaredy-cat. I’m starting to think yeast and I might have a future together-so long as it’s full of cinnamon rolls. zumba dvd
Nut Butters-Peanut butter may be the first thing that comes to mind when you hear “nut butter,” but today there are many varieties found right next to that old standby. And they have different nutrition profiles: 2 tablespoons of almond butter provides 75 percent of your daily value of vitamin E, which may help fight damage-causing free radicals. Cashew, walnut and hazelnut butters add exotic flavors to your next snack and are packed with5 gof protein per 2-tablespoon serving. trxtraining
Spice Blends-With home cooks’ growing interest in global cuisine, exotic spice blends are becoming commonplace in the spice aisle of local markets. Look and you may find berbere (an earthy, aromatic Ethiopian blend) next to the bay leaves and ras el hanout (a robust Moroccan spice blend) next to paprika. These spice blends make it easier than ever to create exotic, flavorful meals in your own kitchen. trx suspension training
Steel-Cut Oats-Here is an example of “what is old is new again.” Steel-cut oats (sometimes called Irish oatmeal) are whole-grain oats that have been cut into little pieces rather than rolled.This hot breakfast cereal is less-processed than other types of oatmeal and has a nutty crunch. Like all oatmeal, it’s high in soluble fiber, which may help to lower “bad” LDL cholesterol, and has a healthy amount of protein, both of which will help you feel satisfied. p90x workout
