I’ve admitted in the past that I’m really not much of a cook.
I’m a maker of simple meals.
Easy dishes that are filling and family favorites.
Pinterest has proven to be a wealth of information
when it comes to simple, yummy dishes.
Like this one right here.
Here is the link to the original recipe.
(I think. I’m still trying to figure out the Pinterest source protocol.)
I made this last weekend when my kids were home.
I measured out everything the night before.
On Sunday morning all I had to do was put it together
and bake it.
This is the cake layer.
On top of that you add a cinnamon, brown sugar, butter layer.
Seriously wonderful.
Fresh out of the oven.
My favorite cinnamon roll ever in this world can be found at
The sugar glaze that goes on top of this cake
when it’s hot from the oven tastes identical to the
frosting at Ann Sather.
I’m not kidding.
To. Die. For.
As you can see it makes a huge cake.
Enough for a crowd with left-overs.
My family gave it a thumbs-up.
Here’s the recipe if you would like to try it.

Oh my that looks delicious!! My kids love homemade cinnamon rolls, but I will have to try this one while they are home for spring break!! Your photo is beautiful too!

Jim loves cinnamon rolls, but I am not a great baker of yeast type breads. I think I might be able to put this together though.
Looks delish, Ann!
Oh, that looks right up our alley! I will try this for my peeps next time we have plenty of time in the morning!
I definitely need to try this! My daughter loves cinnamon rolls so I know she'd love this. It looks delicious and on a different note, I love that pretty blue dish!
OK, I will be checking out Ann Sather.
The nice things about Pinterest is that the picture automatically links to the source. I like that.
The cake looks great, and I love your blue and white dishes.
Fondly,

You had me at cinnamon! Oh this looks so good. I bet your family did enjoy it, what a treat. I am not doing a good job about the Mr. Linky thing. I am following you though already, but will double check. I wish it would keep you signed in because it seems like if I do not do several in a row I have to sign back in.

Oh my gosh! This looks delicious! I have never attempted homemade cinnamon rolls because they seemed too time consuming. But this looks very easy. I'd better wait until I have some company to help me eat this.
