Pumpkin Pancakes
Josh and Sarah have been in town for a few days for Sarah's sister, Anna's wedding. Actually Sarah has been at her mothers helping with wedding plans for about a week. They were able to come spend the night here last night. We had breakfast this morning with all the kids that were able to come. We missed Brad and Kristen, Rosalie, Tom and Owen, and Craig and Dallin of course. We decided that since it was Halloween we would have Pumpkin pancakes with Apple Cinnamon cream syrup. They were very tasty! We also had apple juice with dry ice served from my big black cauldron. Later we made caramel apples. I think everybody had fun. The kids were all very cute in their Halloween costumes.

Raspberry Chipotle Meatballs
Last week my sisters and our husbands had a party night at Mary's house. We brought finger food/appetizers to eat while we played games. I brought some meatballs in chipotle sauce. Everybody thought they were really good and wanted the recipe. Somehow I'm was a little embarrassed, because there really is no recipe. I just bought Costco meatballs and warmed them up and then poured Fisher & Wieser Roasted Raspberry Chipotle Sauce from Costco over them and warmed them up some more (you can get it at other stores in smaller bottles).
Raspberry Chipotle Meatballs
Costco Meatballs (or you can make your own)
Fisher & Wieser Roasted Raspberry Chipotle Sauce
Warm the meatballs. Pour enough sauce over them to coat them and warm thoroughly.
Or, for a main course, Pour more sauce over the meatballs and serve over rice.

Cinnamon Rolls
On Friday, Allan & I are going to visit Josh and Sarah in Colorado, probably for the last time. Josh has accepted a position in Baltimore so they will be moving early next year.
Allan likes to take sweet rolls to eat for breakfast (and to snack on) when we go on road trips. So I guess I'll be making some tomorrow.
If you roll the sweet rolls from both sides toward the middle (instead of just from one side) and then pinch the middle a little, you can make heart shaped sweet rolls. Then frost them with pink frosting. I think they are really cute that way.
Cinnamon Rolls
2 cups hot water (120º)
1 T. Sugar
2 T. yeast
½ cup sugar
½ cup oil
2 eggs
2 t. salt
6-7 cups flour
Softened margarine
Sugar or brown sugar
Cinnamon
raisins
Mix water 1 T sugar and yeast. Let sit till softened. Mix sugar, oil eggs and salt. Add 1 cup flour. Mix in yeast mixture. Add 5 cups of flour. Knead for a few minutes. Gradually add last cup of flour till you have a soft dough. Let rise. Punch down.
Roll into a rectangle. Spread with softened margarine. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Spread raisins if desired. Roll jelly roll style. Cut into one inch slices and place on cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Let rise until double. Bake at 400º for about 10 -12 minutes until golden brown.
Frost with cream cheese frosting.

Chicken Cordon Bleu
Today was General Conference. I always enjoy conference and it's not just because don't have to prepare a primary lesson or get up early to get ready for church (although those are nice perks). Somehow I always feel a little more motivated to try a little harder to be a little better at something or other or a lot of something or others.
Anyway, after conference, Naaman, Becky & CJ and Charis, Craig, Michael & Kendell came for dinner. I like my kids to come for dinner. It's fun to visit with all of them. I do wish, however, that the rest could have come, too. Oh well, maybe next time.
We had Chicken Cordon Bleu and Funeral Potatoes. Allan loves Chicken Cordon Bleu. I usually ask the butcher to tenderize the Chicken breasts for me. It doesn't cost anything and it makes preparing Chicken Cordon Blue kind of no big deal.
I decided this year that it was kind of fitting for us to have Chicken Cordon Bleu on conference Sunday when I remembered that the first time I ever had it, was when one of my room mates at the Sill Home Living Center at the U of U made it. Her name was Bernice Clark and she is Henry Eyring's step sister.
Chicken Cordon Bleu
4 whole chicken breasts, boned, skinned and halved
8 thin slices cooked ham (baked or boiled ham slices may be used)
4 slices Swiss cheese, cut into fingers about 1½ inches long and ½ inches wide
Salt
Pepper
Thyme or rosemary (optional)
¼ cup melted butter or margarine
½ cup cornflake crumbs
Place each chicken breast half between sheets of plastic wrap, skinned side down, and pound with meat mallet to about ⅛” thickness.
On each ham slice place a finger of cheese. Sprinkle lightly with seasoning (if desired). Roll ham and cheese jelly-roll style, then roll each chicken breast with ham and cheese inside. Tuck in ends and seal well (fasten with toothpicks if necessary). Dip each roll in melted butter, then roll in cornflake crumbs. Turning to thoroughly coat each roll.
Place rolls in a 9x13x2 inch baking dish. Bake, uncovered, in a 400º oven for about 40 minutes, or until chicken is golden brown. Serve with Cordon Bleu Sauce, if desired. Makes 8 servings.
Cordon Bleu Sauce
1 can (10½ oz.) cream of chicken soup
½ cup sour cream
1 t. lemon juice
Blend ingredients and heat. Serve over chicken rolls, if desired.
