cinnamon rolls

Get creative in the kitchen!

I've been trying to resurrect old recipes that I used to love (or were crowd pleasers). This one has sentimental value. I learned it in home economics in high school and have adapted it over the years wherever I lived ... hence it went from Bisquick base to making a biscuit dough from scratch. Personally I love the 'from scratch' recipe as I know exactly what I'm making it with and no hidden preservatives. But can we really make a fuss about preservatives when you use real butter and slather it on good! 

Here's one of my favorite feel-good Saturday morning recipes:
