Gluten Free and Dairy Free Cinnamon Roll Attempt...

I feel bad not posting much these days. With the kids home during the summer, things are a little on the crazier side. I feel like any time we can get out for a minute, we should and so, my writing suffers. So, I post when I can...


At least I'm not doing this all the time. Seriously, I want to come back as one of our cats in my next life. They have it made! Luke cuddles with the stuffed Mr. Bigglesworth and it is the cutest thing ever. He carries him in his mouth around the house to have him close. It is so sweet!

Yesterday was extremely rainy in the morning and well, I got up after a night of being awakened by horrible thunderstorms to workout early and get my day going on the right foot. The rain in the morning, when I got up, was extraordinarily peaceful. After I did some cardio and drank a good amount of water, it was coffee time. I enjoyed my coffee while experimenting in the kitchen.


I attempted gluten and dairy free cinnamon rolls (you can see where they part sort of)...


The kids awoke to the smell of cinnamon baking in the oven...


This was not a successful cinnamon roll, but it made an amazing coffee cake...


The flavor and texture were perfect, but the roll part was maybe not so successful...


This just means I have more delicious adventures to go on. I will get this down!

Have you had any tasty adventures lately?

  1. Cinnamon rolls....coffee cake...whatever you want to call them, if they tasted good, that's all that counts! As for not blogging as much, you know I'm going to be on the side of "live your life and enjoy" vs being online all the time. You have so much happening right now and a family. Too many special memories you can't miss!

  2. Cats... they really do have the life, don't they? Mon's cat is so fat and just sorta "plops" herself wherever she feels like it. Her new favorite spot is on top of the microwave. Mon doesn't mind because she doesn't really cook, anyway.

  5. Bahaha...that cat cracks me up :-) Ella has a cattledog chew toy that she loves, and it always seems a little strange to me-- a dog chewing on a dog. Anyway. :-)
