Laura's Newest Book Release: Awakened Love

Katie Detweiler grew up Amish, never knowing she was adopted as an infant. Now an adult, her new job as cook at an Amish bed and breakfast doesn’t bring about the euphoria she hoped for. Just as she’s getting her menu perfected, the Englisch family and severely ill sister she never knew existed enter her life and strain her Amish relationships. Plus, Katie suddenly has two different men vying for her attention—one Amish, one Englisch—and she wonders if one of them could be the man of her dreams. But when her Englisch sister’s health worsens, Katie must find a way to balance her heart, her job, and her faith while risking her own life for the sister she never knew. Buy the book HERE.

Laura's Recipe for Shortcut Cinnamon Rolls

Biscuits
1 (26.4 oz) package frozen biscuits
1 (6oz) package dried apricots (or peaches or cherries)
flour - for "kneading"
1/4 cup softened butter (or 8oz cream cheese)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped pecans (or 1 cup chocolate chips)

Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1.) Arrange frozen biscuits onto flour surface - sides touching - 
into 3 rows of 4 biscuits. Let thaw for 30-45 minutes (they should 
be thawed but still cool to the touch). 

2.) Pour boiling water over dried fruit pieces to cover. Let stand 
10 minutes. Chop fruit and set aside.

3.) Sprinkle biscuits with flour and with hands press edges 
together. Spread butter (or cream cheese) evenly over the dough. 
Stir together sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the butter or 
cream cheese. Next sprinkle with fruit and nuts or chocolate chips.

4.) Roll into a log and cut into 12 slices. Place in a 10" round or 
9" square pan - the rolls will be touching. Bake at 370 degrees for 
35-40 minutes. Or if you prefer individual rolls place each slice 
into a muffin cup and bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

To make glaze : mix together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla. 
Drizzle over rolls.
