Cinnamon Rolls

Some of my readers and I are cooking our ways through Ree Drummond’s book, The Pioneer Woman Cooks.  Feel free to join in at any point and share your cooking moments with us.  The next assignment is at the end of this post.

I am so ashamed.  I have yet to make these darn cinnamon rolls.  Yes, yes…there’s the whole rollingpinaphobia thing going on, but the real truth is that I simply have had a lot going on (as evidenced by my lack of posting over the last week!).  Every time I’ve planned to carve some time out to make them, it just hasn’t worked out.  But because I don’t want to abandon the Pioneer/Pirate Project completely, I am putting up this post so that those of you who made the cinnamon rolls can post about your experiences.  Then I when I finally get around to them, I can come back and update.  So did YOU make the darned rolls?  How did it go?  Tell all…

My blogging friend Sandpiper posted about her experience some time ago, accompanied by her beautiful photography.  Make sure you click this link and check out her yummy-looking goodies:  Sandpiper’s cinnamon rolls

I’m going to go ahead and give you a new assignment too.  I’m having fun with this project, despite my own personal speedbump of the cinnamon rolls.  Let’s move on to the Dinner (translation:  lunch) section of the book and try Marlboro Man’s Favorite Sandwich on pp. 88-90.  This recipe is also on the Pioneer Woman’s site here, so join us even if you don’t have the book.  I’m a little afraid to make this because, from the looks of it, it could become Big D’s favorite sandwich as well, and when Big D has a favorite he wants it every week.  Let’s make these sandwiches by Friday, June 18.

Have fun, and again, sorry about the cinnamon rolls.  I promise…I WILL make them someday, with or without a rolling pin!
