Caramel:
1c brown sugar
3tbsp Oleo
4tsp water
4tsp Honey

Heat until blended - but in bottom of sprayed pan.

*I roll out the dough as evenly as I can, in a rectangular shape. Spread with butter then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, then start on the long side and roll slowly (like a jelly roll.) After you've made the caramel and put it in the bottom of the pan, slice the roll in to approximately 15 buns and set in the pan.

Bake at 350* for 25-30m, until tops are golden brown.
Turn over on wax paper and cool.

Makes about 15 rolls.

Crock Pot Steel Cut Oats

1 cup of steel cuts oats

4 cups water
a little vanilla

Let it cook 5-6 hours.

This made about (5) 1 cup servings.

Meghann's notes: I found these in the regular grocery store, in the organic section - Bob's Red Mill was the brand. I made one batch Sunday night and re-heated it each week. Brown sugar, cut apples, or maple sugar are all great additions! I added them the morning I ate it. These are better for you than processed oatmeal since they digest slower in the body so it keeps you full longer, and they generally have more fiber in this form (which also helps to keep you full.) Yum!!
