For tomorrow morning Ingredients: 18 Rhodes white rolls 1 3-oz butterscotch non-instant pudding mix 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup melted butter cinnamon nuts (optional) Directions: Grease a bundt pan or a 9x13 pan.  Cut the rolls in half to make 36 and place in the bundt pan. (If they are too frozen to cut, sometimes I microwave them for about 10 seconds.) Sprinkle on pudding mix.  Melt brown sugar and butter together and pour over top of rolls.  Sprinkle with cinnamon and nuts (if desired).  Cover with plastic wrap and let rise over night.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.  Immediately turn rolls upside down on foil or a serving plate to catch all the cinnamon and butterscotch sauce.  ENJOY!

This salad recipe is from my mother in law. Salad Ingredients: 1 head of Romaine lettuce, torn in pieces 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved 1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated (the original recipe called for Swiss but we don't like Swiss cheese) 2/3 cup almonds, slivered 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated 1 cup croutons 1/4 pound bacon Dressing: 3 Tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp salt 1/2 cup canola oil 2 cloves garlic, crushed 1/2 tsp pepper Lightly toast the almonds.  We cooked them at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes stirring occasionally until they are just lightly browned.  Cut up bacon into 2 inch pieces and cook until crisp.  Toss lettuce, tomatoes, cheeses, almonds, croutons, and bacon together and set aside.  Prepare dressing by blending remaining ingredients in a blender.  Pour over salad, toss, and serve immediately. 12 servings
