She spend quite a bit of time there during the calm summer nights as the fire blazed in the fire pit in the center of the structure. The patio was constructed July 14 by Valley Landscap- ing and Roger Cook from “Ask This Old House.” Area residents will get the oppor- tunity to view the making of the project during the Nov. 17, 7 p.m. showing on PBS. Seiffert, a fan of the show, contacted them “just for kicks” about the project she was interested in doing. She was thrilled when they called her. “They asked me a few questions and said the project fit into their schedule since they would be in the area,” she said. “Ask This Old House” was given the name of two local landscapers to assist with the project. Ultimately, Valley Landscaping was chosen. “It was exciting to be part of a project that is go- ing to air nationally,” said Craig Wendt, co-owner of Valley Landscaping. The design was determined during a meeting of Seiffert and Wendt, Buffalo native. “I originally thought I’d like a rectangle patio paver with a free standing fire pit. Craig suggested a circular patio and wanted to add a free stand- ing wall. I agreed with his ideas.” Wendt, who has experience doing several other projects like this, believed the design really makes the patio look attractive. “I like doing free-standing walls around patios. I think they add a lot.” Mother Nature almost ruined their plans July 14. Heavy overnight rains caused a delay in the day’s activity. Seiffert knew the sun would come out and the day’s activities would make it a beautiful day. “I wasn’t worried - so much as excited about how the day would unfold,” said Seiffert. Before the filming, they’d only asked Seiffert if she could use a shovel, but she was able to do so much more. She was actively in- volved in several scenes. To make sure everything was said right, “there were several takes,” Wendt said. Wendt and Seiffert enjoyed work- ing with each other and the crew from Ask This Old House. “Roger Cook [from Ask This Old House] is a very down-to-earth guy,” said Seiffert. Cook, a Boston native, even joked with Seiffert about being a Fargo resident. “He asked me where my wood chipper was and we got a good laugh when the city’s wood chipper started up later that day.” The crew worked throughout the day and completed the project about an hour and a half prior to the “Ask This Old House” staff needing to catch their flight to another filming location. Seiffert is amazed at the final prod- uct. “It looks wonderful,” she said. “It’s one thousand times better than anything I could have put together.” Several people have commented about her backyard and she lets them know they too have the opportunity to be chosen for “Ask This Old House.” She not only received a great a beautiful paver patio, she learned a lot and had a great experience. “Two thumbs up to all of the staff from Valley Landscaping and “Ask This Old House”,” Seiffert said.

By Amanda GadesMary Seiffert, of Fargo,

loves the paver patio with back retaining wall in her backyard. She spend quite a bit of time there during the calm summer nights as the fire blazed in the fire pit in the center of the structure.

The patio was constructed July 14 by Valley Landscap-ing and Roger Cook from “Ask This Old House.” Area residents will get the oppor-tunity to view the making of the project during the Nov. 17, 7 p.m. showing on PBS.

Seiffert, a fan of the show, contacted them “just for kicks” about the project she was interested in doing.

“Ask This Old House” was given the name of two local landscapers to assist with the project. Ultimately, Valley Landscaping was chosen.

“It was exciting to be part of a project that is go-ing to air nationally,” said Craig Wendt, co-owner of Valley Landscaping.

The design was determined during a meeting of Seiffert and Wendt, Buffalo native. “I originally

thought I’d like a rectangle patio paver with a free standing fire pit. Craig suggested a circular patio

She not only received a great a beautiful paver patio, she learned a lot and had a great experience. “Two thumbs up to all of the staff from Valley Landscaping and “Ask This Old House”,” Seiffert said.

Central Cass shoots “Hoops for Heart”Students at Central Cass Elemen-

tary School in Casselton are jumping and shooting at the chance to fight heart disease and stroke, our nation’s No. 1 and No. 3 killers. On November 22, 23, and 24 Central Cass will host its annual Hoops For Heart and Jump Rope For Heart Combo Event to raise money for the American Heart Association, which funds lifesaving heart and stroke re-search and community and educational programs for our youth.

Hoops For Heart and Jump Rope for Heart teaches students how physi-cal fitness benefits the heart and shows them that volunteering can be a fun and positive experience for the whole com-munity. The need to educate children about the importance of physical activ-ity couldn’t be timelier. According to re-cent studies, about one-third of children ages 2 to 19 are overweight and obese.

“By including physical activity into their daily routines, kids can significant-ly reduce the onset and burden of heart disease,“ said Chris Hahn. “By raising

money through Hoops For Heart, we are preventing heart disease and obesity for the next generation of Americans. Kids are literally jumping into a heart healthier life while becoming passionate about raising money for other kids with sick hearts.”

For over 16 years, Hoops For Heart has raised more than $72 million for the fight against heart disease and stroke. Millions of students have played basket-ball and learned about heart health and how nutrition and physical activity can help prevent heart disease and stroke. Hoops For Heart is co-sponsored by the American Heart Association and the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance.

Please help our students help others by making a donation. If you would like to help more, call your nearest American Heart Association office or call 1-800-AHA-USA1 (1-800-242-8721). You can also visit us online at americanheart.org/hoops.

FCCLA District meeting held in Casselton

Photos by Amanda Gades/The ReporterNew District 8 FCCLA officers were elected. They are: (back row, from left) LeAnn Norton, Hillsboro, Star Events Officer, Levi Elliot, May-Port CG, Treasurer, John Baldwin, May-Port CG, Vice-President, Brady Skaar, Maple Valley, Recreation Chair, (front) Haylee Archer, Finley-Sharon, President, Shelby Carlson, Finley-Sharon, Secretary, Jessica Vogeler, Richland, Parliamentarian, Harlee Glasow, Kindred, Officer At-Large, Karlee Phillips, West Fargo, Reporter and Bailey Morenson, Hope-Page, Historian.

NDSU Familiy and Consumer Science students (from left) Amber Carl-son, Jocelyn Woodward and Jade Pretzer spoke about leadership skills and gave tips for success in college. This was one of four sessions during the FCCLA District 8 Leadership meeting last Wednesday at the Gov-ernors’ Inn, Casselton. Other sessions included: self-defense tactics, an ice cream float fundraiser for the Children’s Miracle Network and the power of pets by Lisa Trader from the Casselton Veterinary Clinic.

West Fargo Police Officer Jorge Gonzalez taught a session on self defense. Here, he demonstrates a move with the assistance of Jacob Jacobson, Finley-Sharon.

By Amanda GadesIt was just three years ago that

youth decided something significant must be done about hunger in the Far-go area. That’s when they decided to start a project called “Fill the Dome”. Since then, more than $150,000 has been generated and 210 tons of food for the Great Plains Food Bank. This year, the goal is bigger than ever.

“We hope to raise $110,000 and 110 tons of food,” said Chase Nelson, “Fill the Dome” board member and Northern Cass senior. “We’ve already raised $45,000.”

Last year’s premiere sponsors, Gate City Bank and Hornbacher’s, have stepped up once again.

As a representative of the “Fill the Dome” board, Nelson attended a recent Cass Clay Hunger Coalition meeting. “The coalition said they are really looking forward to Fill the Dome because they are down in their dona-tions,” explained Nelson.

Each person the “Fill the Dome” event impacts is tremendous. Last year, Nelson was able to connect with

one person who was able to get food from a shelter because the shelves were stocked thanks to “Fill the Dome”. The effect on him “was big. I don’t always see the impact of the proj-ect when I’m behind the scenes.” Local schools participating

More than 60 schools are partici-pating in the effort, including Central Cass, Northern Cass and Kindred.

Northern Cass students aim to collect 5,000 lbs, according to Nelson. A fun approach will be taken, with el-ementary students creating can-struc-tions, and requesting a specific product on certain days of the food drive.

Also, Mary’s Market, Arthur, will be selling pre-made bags of food and buttons for “Fill the Dome”.

In Kindred, grades will be compet-ing for the most food collected. “Last year, we filled the volleyball court,” said Taylor Lammers, senior student council representative. “This year, we hope to fill the basketball court. I think we can do it. We have a wonderful community backing us. We did really great last year. It was so awesome to

see everyone come together.” To contribute, bring money or non-

perishable food items to the school in your district.

If you would like to assist in reach-ing the event goals, but are not able to bring food or donations to one of the three schools, there are other ways to help. Non-perishable food items can be dropped off at any Gate City Bank in Fargo, Moorhead or West Fargo or Slumberland Furniture in Dilworth or West Fargo. Also, an already packed canned food bag can be purchased at any Hornbacher’s Nov. 15-21.

Monetary donations can be made on-line at www.fillthedome.org Once you get to the main page, click on the “How you can help”, go to donate funds and click on the symbol in the middle of the page that says “Donate with Impact.” This will take you to the Dakota Medical Foundation website for a secure donation to the cause.

Or, a check made payable to Impact – Fill the Dome Fund can be mailed to 4152 30th Ave S, Suite 102, Fargo, ND 58104-8403.

“Fill the Dome” aims to raise $110,000 and 110 tons of food

A $1 donation equals five meals distributed by the Great Plains Food Bank, Fargo. Thanks to non-perishable food donations and dedicated volunteers, the facility is able to redistribute food to a network of 230 food pantries, soup kitchens, emergency shelters and other charitable feeding programs in 85 different communities.

Sunflower harvest underwayThis year’s sunflowers are looking “very good” according to Wayne Sirjord of

Anderson Seed Company, Durbin. Disease has not been a major issue for any of the sunflowers received.

Dennis Kasowski, who farms sunflowers near Absaraka, said he had a “better than average crop.”

Kasowski, who planted sunflowers as part of a crop rotation, planted more sunflowers this year because of the good prices.

Tim McLean, who farms near Wheatland, also had a good sunflower crop, but had some problems with sclerotinia disease. “It didn’t freeze soon enough to kill off the disease. I sprayed the back of the heads to dry them up some more.”

Throughout the county, nearly 12,000 acres were planted - an increase from 9,000 acres in 2009, according to John Kringler, Cass County extension agent.

Goehring awards $600,000 in specialty crop grantsAgriculture Commissioner Doug

Goehring has awarded nine grants totaling almost $600,000 to promote the development and cultivation of specialty crops in North Dakota.

“These grants are aimed at boost-ing production and sales of specialty crops, such as vegetables and fruits,” Goehring said. “The importance of these crops to North Dakota is increas-ing as more consumers are turning to local food sources, especially for fresh produce.”

Specialty crops are defined in law as “fruits and vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits and horticulture and nurs-ery crops, including floriculture.”

Organizations and agencies receiv-ing grants include:

National Sunflower Association -

$70,389 for research to develop a rust-resistant confectionary sunflower.

Northern Pulse Growers Associa-tion - $100,000 to develop innovative market access strategies for pulses grown in the upper Midwest.

North Dakota Farmers Market and Growers Association - $33,000 to de-velop education and promotional ef-forts for North Dakota producers and to provide small grants for school gar-dens.

Dakota Prairies Resource Conser-vation and Development Council, Bis-marck - $67,855 in partnership with Sioux County Extension Service to provide hands on training for youth, families and elders in Sioux County in production, marketing, processing and utilization of locally grown spe-

cialty crops.North Dakota Department of Agri-

culture - $84,191 to continue the Going Local North Dakota Initiative to build capacity for local foods infrastructure development.

North Dakota State University – $244,077 for five projects, including:

$76,320 to partner with the Uni-versity of Minnesota to help develop nitrogen management practices and to reduce acrylamide levels in processed potatoes.

$30,612 to develop effective and economical weed control methods for onion production.

$58,000 to strengthen manage-ment of new late blight genotypes for quality potato production.

$33,970 for research to extrude

and utilize texturized protein from a dry bean source for use in cereal and snack products as a gluten-free substi-tute.

$45,175 for the Carrington Re-search Extension Center to evaluate adaptability of fruit crops to North Dakota growing conditions.

The North Dakota Department of Agriculture (NDDA) administers the program with funds provided by the Agricultural Marketing Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The funds were appropriated in the 2007 Farm Bill. North Dakota was allocated $600,000. NDDA received 19 grant applications, totaling $1,240,000.

NDSU Crop and Cow Day scheduledThe North Dakota State University

Carrington Research Extension Cen-ter (REC) will conduct its annual Crop and Cow Day on Dec. 9.

Utilizing a combination of NDSU, U.S. Department of Agriculture and industry crop experts, the educational event will provide a review of produc-tion research and recommendations for corn, dry beans, soybeans and sunflowers, according to Greg Endres, NDSU Extension Service area agrono-mist. An addition to the program this year will be an afternoon session for beef cattle producers.

Registration will begin at 8:30 a.m. There is no registration fee.

The morning’s educational program begins at 9 with corn and soybean discussions. Corn subjects in-

clude a review of hybrid performance, plant nutrition and other production research conducted by the Carrington REC. Soybean subjects include updates on variety performance and selection, plant establishment and nutrition, and disease management with a focus on white mold and cyst nematodes. Speakers addressing these subjects include Blaine Schatz, Endres and Hans Kandel, NDSU agronomists; Tom Lilja, North Dakota Corn Council executive director; and Sam Markell and Michael Wunsch, NDSU plant pathologists.

The morning session will close with a crop economics presentation. Jory Hansen, Farm Business Manage-ment Program area coordinator, will compare costs and income for four

row crops versus wheat and barley.Refreshments and a noon meal

will be sponsored by the National Sunflower Association (NSA), Northarvest Bean Growers Associa-tion, North Dakota Corn Council and North Dakota Soybean Council.

At 1 p.m., two concurrent ses-sions will be conducted. One session features dry bean and sunflower production, while the other offers beef cattle producers an update on current production and market subjects.

Discussion topics on dry beans include variety performance, review of NDSU research on plant estab-lishment and direct harvest, plus an update on white mold and rust management. Sunflower informa-tion will include a review of growing

season issues and a market update; current and future opportunities with sunflower hybrids; and updates on managing diseases, such as sclerotinia and rust. Speakers include Kandel, Markell, Wunsch; Brent Hulke, USDA sunflower breeder; and Larry Klein-gartner, NSA executive director.

Five and a half continuing educa-tion credits (categories include crop, nutrient and pest management) will be available for certified crop advisers participating in the event.

For more information, contact the NDSU Carrington REC at (701) 652-2951. Details also can be found on the Web at www.ag.ndsu.nodak.edu/carringt/.

BeefTalkBy Kris Ringwall, Extension Beef SpecialistNDSU Extension Service

The call came late in the day after most people had left the office.

“Do you know who the calf car-rying the electronic identification number 123123123123123 is? Would you have the calf in your database?”

These questions are asked often and involve the process of verifying a calf and crosschecking the database. Depending on timing and the third-party verifier asking, questions could come up as the calves are loaded leaving the home ranch, when the calves are loaded following the day’s sale, when the calves arrive at a feed yard, when the calves are worked at a feed yard, when the calves are ready to load out to the point of harvest, when the calves arrive at the point of harvest, when the calves are harvested or even when the calves are on the rail.

The urgency of the question increases as one gets later into the above list. In fact, if asked while the calves are en route or at the harvest facility, the question is asked with an extreme sense of urgency. In a worst-case scenario, if the question is asked once the calves are on the rail, urgency is changed to regret because that is not the time to ask.

Source and age verification processing must be validated with total certainty that the calf number is absolutely correct and verifiable. Generally, another third-party veri-fier will be contacting the previous third-party verifier to ask or confirm the cattle that are in its database.

The process must follow the guidelines developed by U.S. Department of Agriculture. While each third-party verifier may have a different approach, the conclusion is the same. Similar processes must happen throughout the industry. Third-party verifiers create a chain that follows the calf throughout its lifetime, the harvesting process and subsequent markets.

The third-party verification will appear to be different from one verifier to another. However, the question is the same. “Who is 123123123123123?” Yes, we do know who the calf is should be the answer.

If the chain is working correctly, verifiers can trace the calf all the way back to its home ranch. Frustra-

tion occurs when cattle are offered for market with little or no time to validate the cattle.

The validation process takes time and needs to start at the beginning of the market channel. That way the paperwork on the cattle can be verified at the appropriate steps. The obvious is not always obvious.

The other day a key puncher asked, “Is this a number six, letter g or letter s?”

Handwritten numbers, often in combination with letters, can be hard to decipher. There is the prob-lem of the letter o being used versus the number 0, the letter l versus the number 1, the letter s versus the number 5 or the numbers 6, 0 and 9. All these can create some difficulty in verifying calf numbers back to a calving book.

The electronic numbers are read. What calf did the number go in? Are the records legible enough to be read now or in one, two or three years down the road?

There are few things more frus-trating than the late afternoon call and the number cannot be tracked readily. This is especially true if the cattle already are loaded and in transit. Another very frustrating request, as noted earlier with regret, is verification post-slaughter.

While the carcass could be traced and validated correctly, what often is forgotten is that various byprod-ucts from the carcass already have started down different chains. Any backtracking will recall more prod-uct than simply the carcass if the numbers are not validated.

Some would say I’m a worrywart. Through the years, I always have been amazed at what one may ask and expect back when little to no effort was made to document a state-ment.

As producers connect and embed themselves into the source and age process, it is important to make sure the calves arrived safely at their new home and the data and other pertinent information that may be utilized at a future date.

Norquist to be featured speaker at NDFB meetingGrover Norquist, president of Amer-

icans for Tax Reform, will be the fea-tured speaker at the North Dakota Farm Bureau annual meeting, scheduled for Nov. 19-21, at the Holiday Inn, Fargo. Norquist will speak at the Saturday (Nov. 20) annual banquet.

Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) is a taxpayer advocacy group Norquist founded in 1985 at the request of Presi-dent Reagan. ATR is a coalition of tax-payer groups, individuals and business-es opposed to higher taxes at the federal, state and local levels.

“One of Farm Bureau’s basic philoso-phies is that it is the right of every person to save, invest or spend as they choose, and an ever-increasing tax burden limits the ability for people to save and invest

as they see fit,” said NDFB Executive Vice President Jeffrey Missling. “We be-lieve Mr. Norquist’s message will reso-nate with our members.”

The annual meeting has been short-ened by a day this year, in an effort to put the focus on philosophy, which also happens to be the theme for this year’s event.

“As agriculture advocates and active participants in their communities, our members have plenty of obligations, and we hope that by shortening our annual meeting and putting the focus on philosophy, we will get even more involvement than we have in the past,” Missling said.

The annual meeting opens with an awards luncheon Friday and wraps up

Saturday night with the annual banquet. The opening session and delegate action begins Friday afternoon and continues through Saturday. Friday evening will feature the Nodak Mutual Insurance banquet and annual meeting, as well as the annual auction to benefit the NDFB Foundation.

On Saturday, elections will be held for directors in districts 1, 5, and 6. Di-rectors from each of the nine Farm Bu-reau districts serve on the organization’s state board. Elections for the NDFB PAC directors and the NDFB Promotion and Education Committee will also be held.

The Promotion and Education Com-mittee will be sponsoring two Saturday afternoon educational workshops and the Young Farmers and Ranchers Com-

mittee will hold the YF&R Discussion Meet finals. The winner of the YF&R Discussion Meet will go on to compete at the national meet, held during the AFBF annual meeting next January in Atlanta, Georgia.

On Sunday, representatives from each county Farm Bureau will meet for the Focus meeting to prioritize issues for the upcoming year.

A new service at this year’s annual meeting is extended daycare, so attend-ees with children can participate in the delegate session and other events.

A full annual meeting agenda can be found on the NDFB website at http://www.ndfb.org/?id=143&event_id=43.

USDA provides disaster assistance to soybean growersUp to $550 million in disaster as-

sistance will be available to soybean producers in 24 North Dakota counties that were designated as disaster areas by the Secretary of Agriculture in 2009. Signup for the Crop Assistance Program started Oct. 25 and ends Dec. 9, 2010.

The Crop Assistance Program, ad-ministered by Farm Service Agency, makes payments to producers who grew soybeans and can certify to a five per-cent or greater loss to soybeans in 2009

due to excessive moisture or related conditions. A list of eligible counties is available at http://disaster.fsa.usda.gov. Producers must contact their local FSA office to apply for payment through the program.

Soybean producers will be paid at a maximum payment rate of $15.62 per acre. Payments will be prorated to stay within available funds for the program. Producers will initially receive 75 per-cent of their CAP payment; when signup

is complete they will receive up to an ad-ditional 25 percent.

CAP is funded through Section 32 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of Aug.

24, 1935, which allows the Secretary of Agriculture to use funds to reestablish the purchasing power of farmers, ranch-ers and producers.

Funds available to help producersAgriculture Commissioner Doug

Goehring says producers with more than 10,000 gallons of fuel and/or oil in above-ground storage may be eli-gible for up to $12,500 in assistance to bring their facilities into compliance with federal regulations.

“The Natural Resources Conserva-tion Service has implemented a pilot program in North Dakota and seven other states to help producers design and install secondary oil and fuel containment conservation practices required by the Environmental Pro-tection Agency’s Spill Prevention Con-trol and Countermeasure Program (SPCC),” Goehring said.

Goehring said producers should contact their local NRCS field office for more information or to apply for program funds. Information is also available at www.nd.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/SPCC/SPCC_index_FY11.html.

“There are two application periods

for the pilot program with deadlines of Jan. 28 and June 3, 2011,” he said. “A qualifying producer can get up to $2,500 to help pay for designing an SPCC conservation activity plan and up to $10,000 to build a secondary containment facility.”

SPCC conservation activity plans for facilities with 10,000 gallons or more of storage must be certified by a registered engineer. Smaller facilities can be certified by the owner.

USDA is allocating $3 million of Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) funds for the pilot program.

“I spoke with U.S. Agriculture Sec-retary Tom Vilsack in September in Fargo about the possibility of using EQIP funds for this very purpose,” Goehring said. “Many producers need help meeting this requirement, es-pecially since SPCC plans must be in place by Nov. 10, 2011.”

Prairie Fare: Cinnamon Rolls Don’t Necessarily Add Rolls to You

By Julie Garden-Robinson, Food and Nutrition Specialist

NDSU Extension Service

“Cinnamon rolls will just put weight on you,” my college friend noted as she looked at my “care pack-age” from home. I was about a sopho-more in college at the time.

I looked at the rolls, and then I looked at my friend. Were these cinnamon rolls worth adding some “rolls” to myself?

“Do you want a cinnamon roll?” I asked. I took a bite of a velvety-textured roll topped with a drizzle of powdered sugar icing.

“Sure!” she said as she eagerly grabbed the largest cinnamon roll from my container.

Looking back, I see that my friend had ulterior motives with her com-ment. She was successful in securing a treat. Who can resist the aroma, tex-ture and flavor of fresh-baked bread?

Unfortunately, bread sometimes has been viewed as a villain in the world of weight management and weight loss. Some fad diets complete-ly cut out grains and lots of nutrients in the process.

Can we gain weight by regularly eating more calories from bread than we burn through our body’s basic needs, plus our physical activity? Yes, of course. We gain weight by eating food or drinking beverages with more calories than our body burns.

Most of us underestimate the amount of food we eat. Theoreti-cally, just 100 extra calories per day from any food can add 10 pounds to our frame in a year. However, we can adjust the consequences of eating too much by adding physical activity to our lifestyle.

Grains play a major role in a

healthful diet. They provide complex carbohydrates, which fuel our body for physical activity and they provide fuel for our brain. Grains provide B vitamins such as thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and folic acid, along with min-erals including iron, magnesium and selenium.

Think about your grain food choic-es. Do you consume a wide variety of grain foods, such as oatmeal, barley, brown rice and whole-wheat pasta? Are half of your grain choices whole-grain foods? Whole grains provide fiber and a wide array of phytochemi-cals (plant chemicals) with health benefits.

On average, sedentary women and older adults need about five ounces of grain foods daily. Children, teenage girls, active women and sedentary men need about seven ounces daily. Teenage boys and physically active men need about 10 ounces of grain foods daily.

One ounce of grain may be less than you think. One ounce from the grain group equals one slice of bread, one-half English muffin, one-half bun, five to seven crackers, one pan-cake about 4.5 inches in diameter, 1/2 cup cooked pasta or rice or 1/2 cup cooked cereal.

Try this exercise. How many ounc-es of grain did you eat yesterday? Did you have cereal or toast for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch or crackers for a snack? Compare your grain food choices to the recommended amount for your gender and level of physical activity. You will find more informa-tion about assessing your diet by vis-iting www.mypyramid.gov.

If you’re like me, a cinnamon roll would be quite tasty right now. If you try this recipe, keep portion size and your daily recommendations in mind when these come out of the oven.

Wheat Cinnamon Rolls1 c. warm water2 Tbsp. sugar1/2 packet active dry yeast (about

1 1/2 tsp.)1 c. whole-wheat flour1 1/2 tsp. salt2 Tbsp. salad oil (such as canola or

sunflower oil)2 c. all-purpose flour (see direc-

tions)Cinnamon sugar mixture (1/3 c.

sugar plus 3/4 tsp. cinnamon)Softened butter (2 to 3 Tbsp.)Cream cheese icing (optional)In a large bowl, combine warm

water, sugar, yeast and whole-wheat flour. Cover mixture with a clean dish towel and allow the mixture to stand for about 10 minutes until it

becomes bubbly. Add salt and oil and stir. Gradually add the all-purpose flour and stir well. (Note: You may need to add slightly more or less flour depending on the stickiness of the dough.) Knead the dough on a floured surface for about five minutes, and then allow the dough to rest. Scrape the mixing bowl and spread some oil in the bowl. Continue kneading the dough for a few minutes. Place the dough in the oiled bowl, and then flip the dough over. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, cover with a towel and place the dough in a warm place un-til the dough doubles in size. Remove the dough from the bowl and roll into a rectangle. Sprinkle the dough with softened butter and the cinnamon- sugar mixture. Roll up the dough,

then pinch the seam closed. Use den-tal floss to cut the roll of dough into 12 pieces. Wrap the floss around the dough, then bring together like ty-ing a shoe lace. Place the rolls into a well-greased cake pan. Cover and al-low the rolls to rise for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 F.

Bake for approximately 30 min-utes, until golden brown. Allow to cool, and then frost lightly, if desired. Note: You can bake this as a loaf of bread and omit the butter and cinna-mon-sugar mixture.

Makes 12 rolls. Without frosting, each roll has 180 calories, 30 grams (g) of carbohydrate, 4.5 g of fat and 2 g of fiber.
