1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
1 cup ice water
1/2 cup Corn Oil
5 cups flour
1/2 cup powdered milk

Using a rolling pin roll out dough to about 3/16" thick (can make thinner or thicker). Using a cookie cutter -- cut into shapes -- place on cookie sheets.
Bake at 350 degrees for approx 20 -25 minutes (until golden).
NOTE: if you substitute corn meal just subtract about 3/4 cup from flour and add Corn meal

Grilled Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Ham and Saga Blue
2 boned and skinned chicken breast
2 sticks Saga Blue -- each 2 by 1/2 by 1/2"
2 thin slices ham slices, extra lean -- each 4 by 4"
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsps unsalted butter -- cut into pieces

Insert a sharp knife into the thicker end of each chicken
breast half and cut a lengthwise pocket carefully, making it
as wide as possible without puncturing the sides. Wrap each
stick of Saga Blue in a ham slice, enclosing it, insert the
packages in the chicken pockets, and seal each opening well
with a wooden pick.

In a small saucepan bring the Worcestershire sauce and the
lemon juice just to a simmer, remove the pan from the heat,
and swirl in the butter. Grill the chicken, seasoned with
salt and pepper, on an oiled rack set about 6 inches over
glowing coals, basting it frequently with the sauce, for 12
minutes on each side. (Do not baste the chicken during the
last 2 minutes of grilling, and discard any unused sauce.

Serving Ideas : Serve with baby carrots and wild rice
timbale.

Coffee
2/3 freshly ground 8 o'clock French Roast decaf
1/3 freshly ground flavored decaf beans.....either chocolate raspberry,
French vanilla or Starbucks mocha java.

Very important to use filtered water for an extra good taste.
Sometimes I use a bit of skim milk, sometimes I take it black.

*****Tip.....if you like a cup of iced coffee in the afternoon, brew an
extra amount in the morning and put the extra brewed coffee in the
refrigerator for later. Add ice, sweetener and milk. Yum!

Land of Nod Cinnamon Rolls
18 frozen dough rolls (I use Rich's brand)
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 (3 oz) box vanilla or butterscotch pudding powder, use dry
 (see my notes)
1 tablespoon cinnamon
3/4 cups raisins (optional)
1/2 cup melted butter or margarine
 
1. In a bowl, mix together brown sugar, pudding powder, and cinnamon. Grease a 10-inch Bundt pan. Roll the dough balls in the mixture. Place 9 dough balls in the bottom of the bundt pan; sprinkle with half of the sugar mixture and half of the raisins. Pour half of the melted margarine over this.

2. Repeat layer with remaining dough balls, sugar mixture, raisins, and margarine. Cover with a clean, damp cloth, and let set on the counter overnight.

3. Next morning, bake for 25 - 30 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven. Let stand for 5 minutes, and then turn out onto a serving plate.

My Notes: Butterscotch pudding will add more of a caramel flavor to the rolls, while the vanilla pudding will be more of a cinnamon roll taste. I've used both regular pudding mixes and instant pudding mixes with equal success. I don't think that really is a crucial factor.

I love to add some chopped pecans with the raisins. I can do this only when I'm making it for a "take out" dish due to Rebekah's severe nut allergy....but it's great with nuts added.

This is a standard holiday breakfast for us since you assemble everything the night before, let it sit on the counter, and bake it next morning. I also take it to school for team meetings for the same reason. And you WILL be asked for the recipe....

You can also bake this in a standard sheet cake pan...what are they, about 9x12 or something like that. The baking time will be less and you will have only one layer.
