Do you smell what I smell?
Megan and I are on a long run (she has a half marathon coming up, so I thought I’d help her accomplish her longest distance for this training plan). We planned ahead and, currently, my kitchen smells like the faint beginnings of yummy cinnamon rolls. The dough is rising on my countertop, and when I come home, we’ll bake the rolls!
The smell reminds me of my grandma. She used to make the best cinnamon rolls.

Oh me + cinnamon rolls = love. They are my absolute fav breakfast item EVER! Though I did finally make your autumn breakfast sandwich which was pretty to die for as well!
Have a great run!

My grandmother was big on making Egg McMommies. They were delicious. An English Muffin with lots of butter, an egg, and some cheese. Not the healthiest thing in the world, but they were delicious!

Egg McMommies = cutest thing in the world.

Cute Picture!
I have tried several times (during my high school years) to make Cinnamon Rolls for my Dad who loves them and always failed as I could never get the dough to rise…=(
November 5, 2010, 10:14 am
Such an adorable picture!! 🙂
November 5, 2010, 10:19 am

That’s a precious picture! Eat a cinnamon roll for me!!!
November 5, 2010, 11:08 am
Cinnamon rolls remind me of my Grammie, too! She came from a line of Danish bakers (literally…they owned bakeries in Denmark) and had the Midas touch with baked goods. Shoot, now I’m craving them! 🙂
November 5, 2010, 11:11 am
I love the smell of cinnamon rolls!! Enjoy one for me!!!

I 100% agree with you, my Grandmother’s cinnamon buns are the best. Nothing will compare to them!
November 5, 2010, 10:43 pm
I am in love with this picture! There is something punk rock about it. Your grandmother is like the punk rock version of Julia Child….I would love to see that show.
