Comfort and joy!

I woke up with a horrible flu-bug or cold or sinus infection or something yucky on Saturday which progressively got worse Sunday until Monday I was really feeling low. After church a friend let me borrow her Pioneer Woman cookbook and browsing through the pictures stirred up a deep longing for warm, soothing, comfort food. Unfortunatly, all of my Moms are far away as are my friends and family, so if I wanted comfort food, I was going to have to make it myself. Waffling about whether or not I could summon the energy, I found this recipe for cinnamon rolls and I could nearly taste the gooey, cinnamoney, sugary, roll melting in my mouth. Well, that decided it. A few hours later, with the help of my lovely children, our house smelled divine and the fruit of or labor tasted even better. This new recipe is quite easy, loaded with butter and the perfect match of gooey and sweet with not too much bread- and no raisins!!!

We took some to our neighbors to thank them for their kindness. Anyone who is my neighbor will receive these on a regular basis - hint hint: move to TEXAS!
With some to share, and some to freeze, and some to savor now, there was plenty for everyone.

You were sick but still making treats to share. You really are one in a million. I hope you feel better soon.
