Vegan Cinnamon Rolls

I made these a couple weeks ago. Since then, I’ve felt good, bad, tired, awake, tipsy, distracted, worried, fine, super happy, super anxious, lucky, weird, cold, hot, fast and slow. I invested in high-waisted pants because what if I died tomorrow?! I’d want to die in cute pants. I put some nail business on my credit card, ate sliders like cookies, drank pink wine, bonded with my mom, bought a “werk it” bracelet, slept to…

The 7th Annual Valentine’s Brunch

Sunday was the 7th Annual Valentine’s Brunch! And it was super fun. It involved: cheese plates, mimosas, a few fried things and even flower crowns. (They’re pretty easy to make, if you can even believe it). We all hung out and ate tons of food and drank mimosas by the pitcher.  I kinda wish I would’ve eaten more! And my friends did secret dishes and it made the clean-up so much easier. I feel so lucky…

Christmas 2014 – A Recap

I like my Christmas to be filled with snacks, cocktails and Home Alone. And this year it was just that! I bought my boyfriend an Instax camera so we took plenty of practice photos figuring out how it works and stuff, and then my parents came into town just in time to make my holiday even better! I’m crazy about Belvour. I mean, these sparkling drinks taste like magic. I picked up a bottle for Christmas toasting.…

Whole Wheat Cinnamon Rolls with Brown Butter Icing

Eat 5 cinnamon rolls, drink 4 cups of coffee, take 3 naps, buy 2 more pairs of coated leggings for Beyonce-style napping/living, and have 1 sweater that you wear every single day. And now we just have 5 weekdays, 4 new pink vintage glasses, 3 runs, 2 concerts, and one burrito a day. Because you see it just takes 1 night (for the dough to rise), 1 morning (to casually roll these out), 1 person (who’s…

Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls (revisited)

I spent the weekend catching up on New Girl and couch napping. I ate breakfast for lunch and started a cinnamon roll diet. I thought about whether I have things in common with Tina Turner, walked around my favorite antique store for zen reasons, and then capped the weekend off with sushi and beers. But now it’s the work-week, and it’s ok because I’ve got these cinnamon rolls to see me through. I left a small pan of…

Cinnamini Rolls

You guys. I totally took cooler pictures of these and then deleted them off my camera like a real amateur. BUT let me tell you about them. I’ll paint word pictures. So for these guys, I simply halved my mom’s cinnamon roll recipe. And then I divided that dough in half again to make 2 dozen mini cinnamon rolls (a dozen for each half). I’m just going to say that I couldn’t have done that…

Christmas 2013 – A Recap

Christmas was full of cake, perogi, cinnamon rolls, and pizza. I guess I should’ve said Merry Carbmas, ya know? I made a cake for no reason other than that I was out of World Peace Cookies that Nicole gave me. I was having chocolate withdrawal. I also knew I wanted to make my mom’s no-knead cinnamon rolls for brunch at my brother’s house.  The dough is super thoughtful! You just stir it all up and pop…

Potato Refrigerator Dough {3 ways}

I’m having trouble committing to one outfit per day. I find myself switching from skirts to pants on my lunch break or from tall shoes to flats. I totally can’t commit to one nail polish color either. I generally have random fingers painted with glitter or golds. So I figured why commit to one method with this dough! You see, this stuff can be used for so many things like loaves of bread and rolls…
