Steps:
- Place 1/4 cup butter in small sauce pan over medium high heat. Butter will begin to melt, foam, and crackle. Whisk continuously until butter begins to brown and smell similar to caramel. Immediately remove from heat and transfer to a bowl to cool for a few minutes while you make the dough.
- In bowl of an electric mixture, add warm almond milk, yeast, and granulated sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes to activate the yeast. While the yeast is activating, whisk together flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt together in a large bowl.
- Once the milk is a bit foamy from the yeast add in 1/2 of the flour mixture, along with the pumpkin puree, egg, and cooled brown butter; stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. Then add in the rest of the flour and stir again until just combined. Place dough hook on your mixer and run on medium-low speed for about 8 minutes. Alternatively you can knead the dough by hand for about 10 minutes.
- Grease a large bowl with oil or cooking spray. Add dough and turn over, making sure to coat it all with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap and a towel, then place in a warm place to rise for about 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in size.
- In a small bowl, combine the filling ingredients: 1/4 cup softened butter, 2/3 cup brown sugar and cinnamon. Once dough is doubled in size, place onto a large surface dusted with flour. Punch dough down and roll into a 15x9-inch rectangle. Spread butter and cinnamon sugar mixture over the dough leaving a 1/2 inch border. Beginning at the 15 inch side, roll up tightly and pinch edges together to seal. Using a serrated knife, gently cut into 12 slices.
- Grease the bottom of a 9x13-inch or 8x11-inch pan with butter or cooking spray (don't skimp). Place cinnamon roll slices in pan, cover with plastic wrap and let rise again for 30-45 minutes or until dough doubles in size. At this point you can decide if you want to bake them now or later. If later, you can stick them in the refrigerator overnight (covered well). When you are ready to bake the rolls, simply take them out of the 30 minutes prior to baking and bring to room temperature.
- To bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until barely golden brown. Cool for 5-10 minutes. While cooling, make the frosting by combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and 2 teaspoons almond milk in a medium bowl. Spread evenly over warm rolls. Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE BEET CAKE WITH CINNAMON-CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
Although this cake contains a full cup of roasted beet puree, you'd never guess it's there. Besides making the cake supremely moist, the beets add a deep, rich flavor that sets it apart from other chocolate cakes. Because it's so moist, you can make the layers a day or two ahead of time. Wrap them well and store at room temperature.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set each beet on a square of foil and drizzle lightly with vegetable oil. Seal the edges to wrap each beet and roast until tender when pierced with a knife, 40 to 45 minutes. Carefully unwrap and let rest until cool enough to handle.
- Peel the beets while they are still warm and cut into chunks. Add to a food processor and puree until smooth. Let cool completely. You should have 1 cup beet puree. (Save any extra puree for another use.)
- Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour two 8-inch cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
- Whisk together the beet puree, 3/4 cup vegetable oil, sour cream, water and eggs in a large bowl until combined. Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold to combine. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Bake until the cake tops spring back when pressed gently and a tester inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs, 28 to 30 minutes. Transfer the pans to a rack to cool for 15 minutes. Turn the cakes out onto the racks and let cool completely. Remove the parchment.
- For the frosting: Beat the cream cheese and butter together with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and salt and and beat on low until combined. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until very smooth and light, about 2 minutes.
- Transfer one cake layer to a serving plate. Spread about 1 1/2 cups of the frosting over the top of the cake. Top with the remaining cake layer. Spread a thin layer of frosting (about 1 1/2 cups) over the entire cake to create a crumb coat. Refrigerate until the frosting is cold and firm, about 20 minutes.
- Transfer about 1 cup frosting to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting in the bowl. Pipe rosettes on the top of the cake and garnish with baked beet chips. Chill 30 minutes to set the frosting before serving. Transfer the cake to a serving platter and pipe smaller rosettes of the remaining frosting around the base.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat. Trim one end of the beet so it can sit flat on your mandoline (it is not necessary to peel it). Thinly slice the beet about 1/16 inch thick.
- Separate the slices and put in a medium bowl. Drizzle with the oil and toss well to lightly coat each slice. Sprinkle with the sugar and toss to distribute.
- Arrange the slices in a single layer without touching on the prepared baking sheet. Bake, rotating the tray halfway through, until the chips are browned on the edges and crisp almost to the center, 25 to 30 minutes. (It's ok if the very center is still a bit pliable, they will continue to crisp as they cool.)
- Let the beet chips cool slightly on the baking sheet, then remove to a cooling rack to completely crisp up.

CINNAMON ROLLS WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
Steps:
- 1. In large mixing bowl, combine and stir ingredients in order listed, adding about 3-4 cups of flour. Knead dough and add additional flour as necessary to make a soft but not sticky dough. Knead dough for 5-10 min., until smooth and elastic. 2. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease both sides and cover with a clean towel. Set dough in a warm place to rise until double in size. If you have a bread machine, you can use the dough setting in place of steps 1 and 2 here. 3. Punch dough down and then cover and let dough rest for 10 min. If using raisins, boil them for a few minutes in some water, then drain. 4. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a rectangle about 12" x 20". Spread with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon mixture. Sprinkle raisins over if using. 5. Roll dough into a log, starting at the longest side of the rectangle. Pinch edges and ends to seal. Slice into 12 slices. We use a clean strip of dental floss for this step. Just slip the floss under the dough and bring both ends up, crossing over the top and pulling tightly in opposite directions to cut the dough. 6. place the rolls, cut side down, in a greased 9X13 inch baking dish. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 20-30 min., until almost double in size. 7. Bake rolls in a pre-heated oven; If using a glass baking dish, bake at 350 degrees; if using a metal baking dish bake at 375 degrees. After 15 min. of baking, lay a piece of foil loosely over the tops of the rolls to prevent them from getting too browned on top. My rolls usually take at least 18-20 min. check the rolls (middle). 8. After taking dish from oven, cool rolls on a wire rack. If you wish to eat them warm, spread frosting on them while they are still in the dish. 9. To make the frosting, cream butter and cream cheese in a bowl. Mix in vanilla and then powdered sugar.

Steps:
- 1. Measure into a mixing bowl: 1/2 C. warm water and add in 2 pkgs of active dry yeast. Stir until dissolved. Stir in 1 1/2 C. of lukewarm milk, 1/2 C. sugar, 2 tsp. salt, 2 eggs, 1/2 C. of room temperature butter. Mix with spoon and begin adding flour to handle easily (1 cup and then 1/2 cup at a time). Keep dough soft and almost sticky, just so you can handle it. This will keep the dough from ending up hard or tough. Mix by hand and then turn out on a floured counter top. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 5 min). Round up in a greased bowl, grease lightly on top and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a cold rise (4 hours @ 36-40 degrees or a warm rise at 75-85 degrees until double in size.
- 2. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 18" x 24" wide (use a ruler because it is important to get it this size. Keep the corners as square as possible. The rolled out dough should resemble a 18x24" rectangle. Spread 1/2 pound of soft butter or margarine over the surface except for the bottom 1 " of dough. Spread the brown sugar mixture (2 C. brown sugar, 3 tbsp. cinnamon) over the butter and roll tightly from the top down towards yourself. It is very important that you roll it very evenly and tightly. Roll dough all the way down to the unbuttered seam. Measure and cut into 12 equal 2" wide rolls. Use a ruler to measure this in order to have them all cook evenly.
- 3. Line your 2 pans with parchment paper. Paper should hang over all side an inch or two. Place 6 rolls (2 rows of 3) into each of the 2- 12x8" high side pans. The pans must have high sides in order for the rolls to have something to adhere to while they bake. You can also use a 11x17" or 13x9" pan if a 12x8 " is not available.
- 4. Warm rise at 110 degrees(a warm oven with a pan of water), for 45 minutes or until the rolls fill the pans.
- 5. Preheat over to 310 degrees and bake for at least 15 minutes. Depending on your oven, you may need to make them up to 40 minutes. I have made this recipe in different kitchens and ovens vary so much that you will have to keep checking to make sure the center is done. The rolls will be golden brown on top, have a firm crust, and not sink down to the touch.
- 6. Frost with the cream cheese frosting when hot(4 ounces of cream cheese, 4 ounces of butter or margarine at room temperature, 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1/4 tsp lemon extract. Cut between rolls in pan and allow to cool before removing.
- 7. These cinnamon rolls are time consuming to make, but your family will love you for it. I make these for breakfast on Christmas morning. What a delicious way to start your day!
