when life gets busy, you just need to sit down, take a deep breath, and just relax. (or) if you're anything like me, you take a big breath, whip out the baking essentials, and create a little magic in the kitchen. in this case, it's cinnamon rolls! these aren't as healthy as i'd like them to be, but once in while we're all deserving of a little cheat, don't you think? these treats are by far the best accompaniment during my down/alone time, and even though i'm a huge fan of eating healthy, at times it feels necessary for a little sugar treat. for me, breakfast foods are my cheat, especially cinnamon rolls. did i mentioned how good these were? oh, and they pair perfectly with almond milk or a cup of coffee (with the Lumineers vinyl playing in the background). this is pure perfection to me.
oh, and i definitely enjoyed these for dessert, not breakfast
