This week we are doing something super fun, even if it’s not keeping with the last few posts I’ve done on Monday. Are you excited???
I’ve been wanting to share this recipe for awhile now but when I started to plan my review for More than Words Can Say and thought about how fun it would be to do a bookstagram on wordless Wednesday and a first line from it i figured why not share a recipe that made me think of it too!!
If you read it you will know that Zac stopped by The Taste of Heaven Bakery every morning for sticky buns…this may not be her recipe and probably is slightly different from a sticky bun but it makes me think of those scenes none the less
This week I’m sharing my recipe for….Cinnamon rolls!
Who doesn’t love them…I’ve gotten very picky when it comes to Cinnamon rolls, to the point I really don’t like to eat the ones that from in a can….
I thought this week I’d share my recipe! I think it goes with weeks theme!!
I got it from a friend many years ago…she actually created it.
They are so yummy and my absolute favorite recipe for them.
Trust me once you make theses you’ll have a hard time eating the others!
