Homemade Cinnamon Rolls: Life List #57

Lately I've been feeling uncreative and like I have nothing to photograph. I want to photograph something but the intensity of my last semester of school sort of squelched my creative abilities. Or at least my creativity is in hibernation. 

One thing I like to document through photography is accomplishing the items on my Life List. I figured it could give me something small to focus on, just a little something to make me pick up my camera. So yesterday I did.

Life List #57: Make cinnamon rolls from scratch.

I used The Pioneer Woman's recipe. I didn't realize until into the process that her recipe is for 40-50 rolls! Half the dough is still sitting in the fridge until later today.

I ran out of powder sugar so the maple icing was a little runnier than it was supposed to be.

The final result was one thumb up. I think I would have gotten two thumbs up if Carley wasn't busy finishing the last of her cinnamon roll. They were absolutely delicious!

As Seen On Christmas

Christmas Day was very quiet for us. We stayed home and were lazy all day. It was perfect. 


We hope you had a perfect Christmas too.
