Nutella Rolls.. Mmm :)


     I made nutella rolls for brunch today, and I thought I'd share this easy recipe with you guys. :)

     You Will Need
  • 3 tablespoons of warm water
  • 3 tablespoons of sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons of active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 2 cups of bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 1/3 cup of flour
  • 1 cup of nutella
  • 3-4 teaspoons of cinnamon (optional)
    Mix the water and sugar together, and then stir in the yeast. Leave it for 5 minutes to activate. In a separate bowl, melt the butter, and then stir in the milk. In another bowl, mix the flours and salt together. First stir in the yeast mix and then the butter mix. Knead the dough until it becomes somewhat elastic, and then place the formed ball in a lightly oiled bowl. Leave it to rise for about 2 hours (ideally, it should double in size).

Two hours later, roll the dough into a rectangle, and spread the nutella over it (this is the fun part! :D). I sprinkled cinnamon over the nutella, but you don't have to if you're not a big fan of cinnamon. Roll it up, cut into 10-12 rolls, place in a buttered plan, bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes, and serve warm.

...and that's it! :)


                                                      My brother just couldn't resist haha
     
                          Hope you enjoyed this post! Let me know if you have any questions/concerns :D

Leather & Stripes





Hey guys! Last night, I wore this striped dress and maroon wedges to dinner and a movie with some of my siblings and friends. It had just rained outside and was a bit chilly, which is why I have on a leather jacket. I tend to not wear a lot of jewelry, so I just have on stud earrings. 



For dinner, we went to a sushi restaurant called Dragon Fly. The atmosphere was upscale and artsy, with the waiters and waitresses wearing masquerade masks. Rather than the traditional menu layout, this restaurant presented us with an Izakaya menu style possessing a very extensive food selection. Every item we ordered came in "appetizer size" and were all so delicious! I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you're ever visiting Orlando, especially the signature dragon-fly roll. It had tuna and albacore wrapped 
with grouper and baked with a spicy sauce. It was also topped with scallions and eel sauce - very tasty! We also had the Spider, Fire Me Wasabi, Karage Chicken and California rolls. The Karage Chicken was my second favorite, it had fried marinated chicken thigh, cream cheese, avocado, cucumber and scallions.
Anyways, enough of the sushi talk, I could go on forever haha, but I would highly recommend this restaurant.  

Oh and my siblings surprised me with a birthday dessert (even though my birthday was two days before lol), they are the best! It consisted of fried cheesecake, vanilla ice-cream, ,strawberries and blueberries. I was so full by the end of the night.

                                  My sister and I taking forever to make up our minds, the usual lol.

The Wool, the Pin and I


                                                           The famous ice-cream hat

     Crocheting/knitting has always been one of my favorite past times. Although as of recent I haven't had the time to crochet because school just gets incredibly busy. I found out about this club on campus the other day that crochets for two hours every Monday, and they looked so adorable all crocheting by the fireplace. I am considering joining the club, to help improve my crocheting skills and learn new projects! I guess time will tell.

    I crocheted these hats a while back, it took me about a week to get done with all of them (yes I'm a bit of an old lady sometimes haha). My sister and I had a lot of fun modelling the hats, even though it was freezzinggg outside.
