French Souffled Potatoes

Here you go Steph!
Baked Potatoes ( I am used to doing 6, but ????) Grease the skins and bake without foil
  When the potatoes are done, cut out an nice oval shape on top...you know what I mean. Carefully scoop out the innards and put in a bowl. (I like to whip them a little) then add:
1 cube butter
3/4 to 1 c. sour cream (Sometimes if I am feeling naughty... one small carton.)
1 egg
salt and pepper to taste.
  Whip until creamy. Lightly pile into the skins. Cover with grated cheese.
Adjust your ingredients to the amount of potatoes you baked.
  Return to oven (375*) until the cheese is melty. About 10 - 15 miutes.

Cinnamon Roll Cake

I can't remember where I found this recipe, but I tried it and shared it with my work friends.  They are asking for the recipe. Steve wants to make it soon.

Cinnamon Roll Cake

2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
  I whisk this together and add:
3 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 c. milk.
Slowly stir in 1/2 melted butter.
Put in a greased 9X13 pan.
  Make TOPPING
1 c butter, softened
1 c. brown sugar
2 TB. flour
1 TB. cinnamon
   Mix well and drop evenly on the cake batter. Take a knife and swirl each dollop.
Bake 350* for 28- 32 minute ( I actually baked it about 5 minutes more)
 Glaze:
2 c. powdered sugar
5 TB milk
1 tsp. vanilla
   Stir together and pour over warm cake. This is supposed to be better warm, but was great cold. I tasted it. I have been doing speed walking laps in the hall to hopefully counteract that bit of imbibing I did.  (I have lost 6 pounds this week!)
