Caramel Pecan Sticky Buns

“I’m never going to be skinny.” That was my very first thought when I bit into my first fork full of these delicious sticky buns. And that is because I am unapologetic about the fact that sometimes I make sticky buns on a Thursday afternoon for absolutely no occasion whatsoever.
