christmastime baking.

the pioneer woman’s cinnamon rolls.

i made them.

it was my very first time to make any sort of homemade bread.

i spent almost 2 hours in wal-mart, so worried i would buy the wrong thing. and all my hard work would be for nothing.

i got home from the store. put on some comfy clothes. turned on the christmas lights,  put “it’s a wonderful life” in the dvd player. and got to work.

once i finished the first step, the first part of the cinnamon roll mixture had to cool for an hour. so since the weather was nice yesterday, and my ankle is still hurt so i can’t run :( i decided to take a christmas walk through neighborhoods with sparkly lights. an hour later i came back and prepared the dough some more.

D came over and helped me roll out the dough and put them in the pans. he was the perfect man for the job (thanks babe!).

then we put in friday night lights and let them bake.

this morning, i brought them to work. and now, i’m beaming :)

it’s my goal in life to be a good cook, a baker even. so when people started coming from the office kitchen with songs of my praise for the cinnamon rolls, i couldn’t contain the joy! so i had to blog about it.

i’ll make some more for any friends that would like to stop over for a winter treat, some coffee, and conversation :)
