I made it!
Last Friday after a cancelled flight, rescheduled flights and 14 hours of travelling, I made it back home.
Since being back, I’ve spent lots of time with my family.
My youngest brother, Christopher (on the far right,) ringing the salvation army bell with the church youth group.
I’ve been busy visiting relatives and baking in my mom’s kitchen.
The view from my mom’s kitchen window.
My brother Patrick is working midnights so his sleep schedule is about as messed up as mine. This has given us early mornings to talk and laugh together.
Yesterday I woke up at 5am to the sounds of his video game. Once up, I decided to make cinnamon rolls.
I used the recipe from The Pioneer Woman’s cookbook. I doubled the recipe so had a ton of dough to work with.
Rather than rolling the dough extra long, I found that cutting it in half lengthwise gave me the desired proportions while making it easier to roll. Oh, and I added almonds to half of the rolls.
Mmmm! Ooey, gooey, delicious cinnamon rolls!
Family approved.
Go and make some today.
I promise these cinnamon rolls will make your friends and family happy.
Awwww – loved the “family approval” pic!
Hope you’re having fun, Kendel!
