Button necklace onesie

"Button necklace onesie! Super easy and turned out soooo cute!"

So I was at a baby shower where we each got to decorate a onesie as a gift to the baby. There was a jar full of super cute buttons and I had this idea to make it look like a necklace. I used a thick embroidery thread in hot pink. First, choose the buttons you want to use. Cut a piece of thread two and a half the length of the necklace you want. Now thread each button on the thread going through two of the holes. Space the buttons out to desired spacing. Start at one end sew each button on. Make the thread show on the front in between each button. This way you only have small stitches on the inside of the shirt. Work your way across and then tie off your thread at the end. 

Cinnamon twists

I used my easy bread stick recipe. I rolled it out and spread cinnamon, brown sugar, white chocolate, and cinnamon chips all over it. Then I folded it in half and cut strips with my pizza cutter. Then I twisted each strip and place on cookie sheet to bake according to the bread stick recipe. When they had cooled I make a thinner cream cheese frosting and spread on each one. Delicious! And easy to make in under an hour. (Not quite as good as the old fashioned cinnamon rolls my mom used to make that take a lot longer, but still yummy!)

Quick Cinnamon Rolls

"Quick cinnamon rolls"

Prep time: 20 minutes

Cook time: 10 minutes

Start to finish: about 40 minutes

Ingredients:

2 1/4 Cups Original Bisquick mix

1/2 Cup Milk

1 Tablespoon butter or margarine, softened

1/4 Cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 Cup brown sugar

1/4 Cup white chocolate chips

1/4 cup cinnamon chips

Glaze:

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/4 teaspoon vanilla

1 drop cinnamon doTerra essential oil

1 tablespoon milk

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. 
In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix and 1/2 cup milk until soft dough 
forms. Place dough on surface generously sprinkled with Bisquick mix; 
roll in Bisquick mix to coat. Knead 5 times. 

Press or roll dough into 11 x 8-inch rectangle. Spread dough with 1 tablespoon softened butter. In small bowl mix cinnamon and sugar, 
then sprinkle over dough. Sprinkle brown sugar, white chocolate 
chips, and cinnamon chips over dough; press in slightly. Starting 
with an 11-inch side, roll up dough tightly. Cut into 3/4 inch slices 
(I use a piece of thread to cut, slide middle of thread under roll. 
bring ends of thread up around dough, cross and pull till it cuts through 
the dough) Place slices on cookie sheet. Brush sides with 1 tablespoon melted butter, or spray with spray-butter.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes (13 to 15 in high altitude) or until golden brown. 
Remove from cookie sheet; cool 10 minutes. In a small bowl, mix 
all glaze ingredients, adding more milk if needed till mixture is thin 
enough to drizzle. Drizzle glaze over rolls. Serve warm.

(You don't have to put the white chocolate chips or cinnamon chips 
in yours. You can add whatever you like in yours...chopped nuts, 
chocolate chips, raisins... Also, don't worry if you don't have 
cinnamon oil....I've just started using and selling the oils and wanted 
to try it in these....but it sure does make them yummy!!!)

I took six of these to Kaleb at work, but he only got to eat 2 of them
....he said they were so good that he shared them with some of his 
co-workers. My boys each ate 3 of them.
