Delicious strawberry cinnamon rolls made with Lucky Leaf Pie filling and a quick and easy dough recipe! These will be in the oven in no time at all!
INGREDIENTS
Dough Ingredients:
3¼ cups flour
2 tsp instant yeast
¼ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 egg
¼ cup water
¾ cup milk
⅓ cup butter, softened
Filling Ingredients:
21 ounce can Lucky Leaf Strawberry Pie Filling
2 teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon sugar
Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting:
4 ounce cream cheese, softened
3 Tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
¼ cup half and half
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 Tablespoon lemon zest (one lemon)
1 teaspoon vanilla
INSTRUCTIONS
To make the dough: In a small saucepan over medium low heat add the milk and butter. Stir until the butter has melted and remove from heat. Let stand until luke warm temperature.
In a large mixing bowl whisk together 2¼ cups flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add to the stand mixer with dough hook attached. (You can also make this by hand, just knead until smooth once all of the ingredients are added.) Add the egg and water and mix until just starting to combine. Slowly add in the milk mixture and 1 cup of flour until the dough starts to form and become smooth. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a large 9×15 square. About ¼-1/2 inch thick. Spread strawberry pie filling evenly on top of the dough. In a small bowl combine the cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle on top of the strawberry filling. Roll up the 15 inch side into a log and pinch the seams. Cut into 9-12 slices depending on how thick you want your cinnamon rolls. Place in a greased 9×13 inch pan and cover with a damp cloth and let rise for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake for 30 minutes or until just golden brown on the tops.
To make the glaze: Beat together the cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth. Add the half and half, vanilla, lemon juice and lemon zest until combined. Frost over warm cinnamon rolls and enjoy!

Fava beans. They are very easy to grow, they just need watered daily to produce well. They are used for Hoodoo Magick Rootwork, Italian witchcraft and used as Ancestor or Spirit offerings. In Hoodoo, they are Wishing, Lucky, or Mojo beans and used for just that. They will also grow easily in an old milk jug in your kitchen. They are a tall plant that takes up little space.  ~BB~

I have a question. why in the world do people post some thing so dumb, that when you gave them a answer they don't what too hear they delect it?
My ex-friend daughter post why can't i be happy not doing anything? the whole post sound like someone on drug or they what to kill themself or have some one to feel sorry for them.
I know she has health problems well so do i. you dont see me post thing like that.
What is HAPPNESS ? and why do people all way think it god who does it. why does god do this to me? boobwho. lol Wake up it not a fake god or a real one. It your fart. you make our own happyness. so grown up.
HAPPYNESS is look around you and be happy with what you got. not what you want. i'm happy that i got a great guy that love me for me. and 2 pains in the ass pets, that love me. we may not be rich my no means. but we get each other. that my happyness.
so next time you start to post something dumb stop and think of what the people who is read it will say. and if they are like me. you won't post it.
love and light.

Your element is DARKNESS You are often misunderstood and judged quickly. Yet if people only took just a bit of extra kind effort to you they would see something wonderful. Mysterious yet much more simple then others misperceive. You get many things that just don't click for others. You see the truth for what it is and you embrace it while others sugar coat it. You have low tolerance for ignorance, though you may come off a bit arrogant yourself. You could stand to reflect a bit more and you will find a lot of your isolation issues are due to self sabotage. Though you may enjoy your alone time, no one truly enjoys being alone. Don't fool yourself. That aside you are a rare beautiful truth in this world of fake.
