Stuffed Cheese Rolls

It's all about survival at my house.  Kyle still gets up twice to eat.  I'm able to keep up with laundry and housework and I even get a shower every day.  But half the time the laundry doesn't get folded until 3 days after it has been dried.  I nap when the opportunity arises and that is always helpful.  I've enjoyed being able to do some housework that was difficult to do while pregnant.  I've been on my hands and knees scrubbing floors and it made me happy.  Adam thinks I'm weird.  I've also been enjoying cooking for the family, I just haven't had time to share much of it with you.  But here is a recipe I thought I would share. 

Stuffed Cheese Rolls

from Yammie's Noshery

1 cup of warm water

2 tablespoons yeast

2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons garlic powder (I didn't put this in my dough mixture, wasn't necessary)

1/4 cup melted butter

1/4 cup olive oil

3 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons salt

At least 8 oz. of cheese, I used Mozzarella

A few tablespoons of melted butter mixed with a sprinkle of garlic powder and some fresh herbs if you want. 

Mix together the yeast and water and let it sit for a couple minutes. Add the sugar, garlic powder, melted butter, and oil. Add the flour a little and a time, mixing in your stand mixer with a dough hook. Add the salt. Knead for 10 minutes, in the stand mixer or by hand. Let the dough rise in a greased bowl (I used the same bowl) covered with a wet cloth for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375º. Divide the dough into about 20 pieces or so (you can make them as big or small as you want). Put about a 3/4 inch chunk of cheese in each one and make sure you pinch all the edges back up tightly. Put the pinched side down on a greased baking sheet. Sprinkle the buns with more shredded cheese and some Parmesan cheese. Bake at 375ºF for about 11-15 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Brush with the melted butter and serve warm.

The girls are enjoying being back at school.  Both girls have wonderful teachers that do an excellent job with the kids.  Emilie has been coming home singing bible songs.  Aubrie is learning how to write her name and enjoying having more responsibility at both school and at home.  The other day we were in the kitchen and she comes in and says, "Guys!  Guys!  Settle down!  Here's my problem...."  We figure she probably hears that at school from her teachers.  :)

Aubrie met Holden in the parking lot and he escorted her to class.  Please note that not only are they holding hands, but their fingers are inter-twined!

We are gearing up for Emilie's birthday and Halloween.  Aubrie chose to be Ariel, the little mermaid, and Emilie picked Snow White.  We got Aubrie a wig to wear and it's kind of a big deal.

We are also gearing up for family pictures.  We went shopping a couple of weekends ago and the girls were getting restless and Kyle was waking up and I was almost done.  So Adam took the kids out to the car while I wrapped up.  He pulled the car up to the curb at the front of the store and Kyle was still crying, so he got out of the car and took out Kyle's car seat and was standing on the sidewalk, swinging it.  Meanwhile, the windows were down and the girls were watching a movie but started yelling at him because it was over.  While all this was happening, a woman walked up to Adam and told him he was such a good father.  He wanted to tell her, "If you see a woman in there who just got her first smell of freedom, tell her to wrap it up and come get her kids!"

The girls have both been under the weather.  Emilie started first with runny nose and she always has her fingers in her mouth.  I think her 2 year molars are coming in as well.  Now they both have a cough and Aubrie is going hoarse.  Kyle even is congested but that's because Emilie loves giving him kisses.  I can't leave him on his play mat with her in the same room because she likes to lay on him and bounce her head on his belly. 

But when dad is around, we can just wrestle with him. 

And there is always time to play with our friend, Higgs.  Love these kids.

Adam is a Notre Dame fan and therefore, I am too.  We are really enjoying this season.  I took this picture of the girls in their jerseys while they were playing in my closet.  At school, Aubrie gets a stamp on her hand if she stays on her mat and is quiet during nap time.  She's all about it.  The other day we were eating out and she kept asking me, "Why does that man have so many stamps?"  I couldn't figure out what she was talking about.  Then she started pointing and asking louder so I turned and saw a very large man with a bald head and lots of tattoos on his arms and figured out that she thought his tattoos were stamps.  I quickly told her not to point and those were stamps.  Daddy explained that those were tattoos in hopes she wouldn't rub someone like that big dude the wrong way and get daddy's butt beat.  :)

I'll share some pumpkin patch pictures next time.  Love to all!
