You all know I have a love affair with cinnamon rolls. I’m constantly trying to find new and different things to do with them. My go-to is my homemade Clone of a Cinnabon recipe. Honestly, it can’t be beat- but it’s time consuming. It is at least a two hour process. This recipe, however, is… Continue reading Cinnamon Roll Pull Apart

Like, ever. Until today, I didn’t know there was a way to improve upon them. But it turns out, you learn something new… Continue reading Apple Snickerdoodle Blondies
