Nothing beats the smell of warm freshly baked Cinnamon rolls. This is a family recipe that has been handed down for generations and altered along the way making the perfect Cinnamon roll. The rolls are my moms version while the cream cheese frosting is from my grandmothers.
What I always find interesting is whenever I make these it instantly takes me back to the moment when I was little in gubgrandma kitchen during the holidays. It's funny how smells can trigger such old memories and bring forth some of the best and most love moments of my life.
