Cooking Class Thursday!

Today for our Thursday Cooking Class we made Orange Rolls! We had so much fun! Raelie and Mikelle came today and learned how to make them. Aunt Toni is such a great instructor! She taught the girls about yeast and how it rises and how fun dough is to play with. While the bread was rising Cooper and the girls went over and saw the horses and played with Daisey (our neighbor's dog) while Toni and I were getting our plans together for Steph's baby shower.
The girls got to roll out their own rolls and make the yummy orange frosting. The rolls turned out absolutely delicious!
Here is the recipe for anyone who wants to try it!
