Cinnamon Rolls and Dinner Rolls both made from one recipe

Ok if you are like me, you are a visual person. I have to see a picture of what I am wanting to cook so that I can make sure I did it right. Well the recipe for the cinnamon rolls and dinner rolls had no picture. I just knew what they needed to look like based on what my step-daugher-in-laws looked like. So here are some pictures of the cinnamon rolls and the dinner rolls. Ignore my kitchen decor, I am wanting to get a gourmet kitchen but with a teacher's salary I will have to work with my "Hamburger Helper" kitchen. :-(

Quick dinner idea

If you are running short on time go by the store get frozen meatballs, a jar of grape jelly and a jar of chili sauce. Combine Jelly and Chili Sauce in a slow cooker, then add meatballs and cook for one hour on high or two hours on low. Awesome quick meal served with rice and vegetables.
