"Waiting for The Dough to Rise"

A phrase I never thought would have any meaning in my world! However, I said it! The weekend was a quiet one and out of nowhere I decided to make homemade cinnamon rolls! This is the first time in 62 years I have ever even given it a thought. Cooking, baking, etc have all been off my radar for years. I wasn't good at it, I didn't enjoy it and just found it all in all annoying that anyone should think that was something I should do.  My mother has always made it look so effortless and her results were awesome, that when that didn't happen for me I just assumed that when they passed out "baking" I got "shopping".

This summer on our trip to Savannah I discovered Paula Deen and although she is way to Southern for me and way to many "Ya'll"s, I can follow her directions! I love her cookbook and everything in it. This was a team effort, Hubby and Me, the results were Best Ever! It also helps to have a new shiney yellow Kitchenaide mixer
