Wife suggested I use the usual milk butter roll dough recipe to make cinnamon rolls. Checked some recipes and I just needed to increase sugar from 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup and flour from 3.5 cups to 4.5 cups ... 3.5 hours later of rising the dough twice, here it is topped with cream cheese frosting following this recipe - https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/best-cinnamon-rolls/

Wife requested NY steak for lunch ... Cooked medium temped to 135-140F with yellow squash sauteed in butter and garlic along with microwave Yukon Gold potato. She says way better than McDonalds/Burger King. 🥰😘

Wife and daughter went for a hike and daughter requested beef stirfry for dinner.

Marinated beef slices (Dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, ground pepper, onion powder, sugar, corn starch), onion, celery, orange bell peppers, baby bokchoy, green onions, ginger and garlic with splash of sesame oil (Sauce was light soy sauce, water, heavy on oyster sauce, ground pepper, sugar and corn starch).

Gotta love the seasoned carbon steel pan ... Had the electric burner on high (I usually use medium heat) and everything cooked well without sticking (I partially shallow oil fried the beef slices and steamed the baby bokchoy/green onion before stir frying).

Wife asked for pancakes for breakfast ... Fluffy pancakes on carbon steel pan, a little butter and no stick!

Of course, extra pads of butter

I was craving spaghetti so ground some chuck to make meat sauce with canned tomatoes and mushroom (My secret is adding a can of Campbell's condensed tomato soup to sauce and sugar to taste).

Cooked some De Cecco linguine and topped with grated Parmesan and pecorino romano cheese
