CINNAMON ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425F with rack on upper middle position. Line baking sheet with heavy duty foil.
• In a large bowl, toss the squash with remaining ingredients until thoroughly coated. Transfer to foil-lined baking sheet, in a single layer, without overcrowding the pieces.
• Roast about 40 minutes, rotating pan midway during baking. When edges are browned and cubes are fork-tender, remove from oven immediately. You may want to start checking squash around 35 minutes, just to ensure that they don't become overcooked.

CINNAMON ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of your oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Generously coat two baking sheets with nonstick spray.
• Place the squash cubes in a large bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and maple syrup, then sprinkle the salt, cinnamon, and pepper over the top. Toss to coat, then divide between the two baking sheets, discarding any excess liquid with that collects at the bottom of the bowl. Spread the cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets, taking care that they do not overlap.
• Place the pans in the upper and lower thirds of your oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the pans from the oven, turn the cubes with a spatula, then return to the oven, switching the pans' positions on the upper and lower racks. Continue baking until the squash is tender, about 10 to 15 additional minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the rosemary over the top. Serve warm.

BEST EVER CINNAMON BUNS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water, and let stand for 3 minutes. Add cake mix, 1 cup flour, eggs, oil, and salt; beat well. Stir in remaining flour until a soft dough forms.
• Knead on well floured surface for about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, and turn to coat the dough surface. Let rise until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Punch down, and divide into two equal parts. Roll out each section on a lightly floured surface. Spread each with softened butter and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
• Roll up like jelly rolls and cut buns 1 1/2 inches thick with a piece of dental floss or a dull knife. Place in greased baking pans, and allow to rise until doubled.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 25 to 35 minutes or until golden brown.
• Meanwhile, combine confectioners sugar, 1/4 cup melted butter, vanilla, and milk. Remove baked buns from oven and drizzle with frosting.

CINNAMON BUTTERNUT LOG

Steps:

• Place the cream, vanilla, cinnamon and sugar in a bowl and beat until stiff peaks form.
• Use half the cream mixture to sandwich together the biscuits and arrange standing side-by-side on a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper to form a log.
• Carefully spread remaining cream mixture over entire surface of log. (Roll in non-stick baking paper and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight until set -- this step is optional, I don't bother with the baking paper just whack straight in the fridge as is.).
• Combine extra cinnamon and sugar and scatter over a piece of non-stick baking paper. Carefully unroll the log and place on the cinnamon mixture. Using the paper to help, roll the log back and forth to coat evenly. (To save time & trouble, you could just scatter the mixture over the top before serving, then you won't need as much.).
• Slice log diagonally to serve.
