Yum! Yum!

This past week, I've noticed that I can't fit into my teacher clothes or the clothes that I bought right afterI had Malachi. While that's fine & wonderful that I've lost so much weight, it's a bit frustrating having clothes that are a little too big. And, while I'm still way bigger than I was before I had kids and bigger than I'd prefer to be right now, it was still a nice reason yesterday to make some homemade bread.

We usually make bread about 1-2 times a month, sometimes more, depending on our energy level and motivation! :) Below is the raisin bread as it was preparing to rise. I'm not a fan of raisin bread, but my family loves it so every once in awhile it's got to be made.


And then for my favorite: Caramel Pecan Sticky Rolls!!! :) Yummy! Here is the brown sugar mixture before we added the rolls to it:


Shawn is the best at preparing this part, so I let him add the cinnamon, brown sugar, and butter (just like for cinnamon rolls) and then roll them up and cut them:


Then, soon, the house starts to smell like sweet smelling sugary pecans! :) And we take it out, flip it over onto a cookie sheet:

And usually have more than enough to share with our neighbors!


Maybe not the most healthy evening snack or breakfast, but it sure tastes wonderful!
