Week 7, Nov. 17

Wow!  Who needs artificial air fresheners and scented candles when there's the smell of five different sweet rolls, two types of bread, and cookies baking?!  Yum.  Thanks, CSB members, for supporting and giving me an outlet to work out of my home, doing something I enjoy! 

This week each CSB member will be taking home an assortment of sweet rolls.  These are great for dessert, or tomorrow's breakfast, served slightly warmed.  All are whole grain, and two are 100% whole grain (featuring oats and whole wheat).  Flavors are:

~Dark & Dangerous Cinnamon Rolls:  I made these awesome 100% whole grain treats before for a previous CSB session, and they remain my all time favorite!  They're slathered with a thick coat of buttercream, feature two types of cinnamon, and keep well at room temperature for a few days.

~Pecan Sticky Buns:  100% whole grain, gooey, and filled with toasted pecans.

~Angelic Raspberry-Orange Rolls:  Homemade organic raspberry jam (made using fruit from my neighbor's garden last summer), an organic cream cheese center, and a fresh orange glaze.

~Cardamom-Lime Rolls:  A yogurt-based sweet dough, filled with fresh lime zest and a hint of cardamom, and finished with a drizzle of fresh lime glaze.

~Spirited Plum & Dark Chocolate Rolls:  Homemade filling, made using local Italian plums that had been steeped in liquor for months, drained (the resulting liqueur was saved for other purposes), pureed, and turned into an awesome, flavor-packed jam, chunks of dark chocolate, and finished with a light vanilla glaze and mini chocolate chips.
