I want to reflect on this year and think about the opportunities to come in 2011. But before I do that, I needed to try a go at making homemade cinnamon buns. Who doesn't like that can of buns with icing?? When Whole Foods recently started selling a "natural" brand of cinnamon buns in a can in their cold isle, I forgot all about my 'health' diet and brought them home for breakfast. They are delicious...but even the whole foods version still has a lot of crap in it.
So...I wanted to try making my own. Yes, there is sugar, but at least, there is not crap that has names we don't like and I made them half whole grain...so a tiny bit healthier.
After a few more minutes in the oven, I will soon enjoy the rest of 2010 with a nice cup of tea and homemade cinnamon buns. I used the recipe posted on 101 Cookbooks. As suggested by this recipe, there is a whole batch in my freezer for later. So maybe if a few of those family members who live far away in RI will come around to a visit Montclair soon, they will get to enjoy the homemade goodness.
