Cinnamon Rolls Worth Every Calorie

By Janette | Food

It’s Friday, and here at The 2 Seasons that usually means a recipe.  And since it’s a January Friday, we’re going for comfort food.  What could be more comforting then the smell of homemade cinnamon rolls drifting from the oven?  That’s right, boys and girls.  We have cinnamon rolls today.  And I’m here to tell you that they are worth every single calorie.  Just run an extra mile, swim some more laps, and spin a little bit harder.  It will all be worth it.

Lucky for me, our local paper featured an article about cinnamon rolls in today’s edition, and they selected this recipe from a book called I Love Cinnamon Rolls! by JudithFertig.  It’s has a lot of steps, but just work on something else while they rise and bake.
