What a Sweet Treat!!

Months and months ago, I saw this recipe. On Scarlett's blog. It sounded so delicious. But I definitely didn't have the skills, or confidence to make cinnamon rolls. Heck no!! Well, unless you count the ones from the tube. Yeah, me and them are BBFs!!

I happened to mention this to a friend of mine. Who just so happens to be an amazing baker and cook. Chiquitita offered to help me out. We headed to another friend's house. Who has a HUGE kitchen. And we got our bake on!!


We started them one night, after our regular "after church dinner." Left the rolls to rise. And set a time, to meet the next morning. The next morning, we were baking up the most amazing rolls ever!! They were so yummy. :)

That was a few weeks ago. On Friday, Ignacio and I were trying to recover. You know, from Thanksgiving. And lots of holiday shopping. We were also packing for our trip to Texas. That meant Friday was a nice and lazy day. Ignacio didn't have to work. We didn't want to fight the crowds, at the stores. We just wanted to be lazy.

And well, guess what I had done on Thursday night. After stuffing our bellies all day!! Made up a batch of these babies. While Ignacio was looking for something to watch on TV. Honestly, I think he was in a food coma!! :)

On Friday morning, I put a pan in the oven. And crossed my fingers. The entire house smelled amazing!! Ignacio was in shock. You know, since I all of a sudden whipped up a batch of homemade cinnamon rolls. To be honest, I shocked myself too!! Don't tell anyone, we spent the day in our pjs. Then ate an entire pan of cinnamon rolls. It was a good Friday!!
