You Can Just Call Me Pioneer Woman...

although, I probably wouldn’t answer. In fact, I was more like Mrs. Doubtfire in the kitchen the other day. I attempted to make Pioneer Woman’s DELICIOUS cinnamon rolls for the first time (long-time eater, first time baker). They looked amazing in the pan before I put them in the oven, and I was feeling pretty good about myself- making cinnamon rolls from scratch with 2 little kids running around. So I stick them in the oven and start cleaning up the kitchen. It wasn’t until my kitchen began to fill with smoke that I realized I’d done something terribly wrong. On her blog (but not on the recipe) it says this recipe should make 7 pans of cinnamon rolls. I put them in 2 ½ pans. I opened the oven to find the cinnamon rolls spilling over the edges of the pans and onto the bottom of the oven.

Nonetheless, the kids had fun helping. I did not intend for this to be a sensory experiment for them, but it seems that’s what it became.

I gave the kids some raw cinnamon roll dough off the ends to play with. I thought they might enjoy squishing it between their fingers.

Poor little guy- just couldn’t wait. Looks like he got my will power when it comes to sweets!
