Juggling work, family & faith in the Hospitality State
Ever since I first saw these on Bakerella, I’ve been wanting to make them. I mean, they are just so cute, and we love graham crackers around here. They’re my go-to snack for road trips, and they’re perfect for teatime. As suggested by Bakerella, I followed Smitten Kitchen’s recipe, with a few alterations: I used [...]
In my family of five sisters, there are lots of personalities (at least two for each of us) and numerous opinions about anything and everything. There’s not much that we all agree on. However…. For as long as I can remember, we have all loved Primos. (Don’t you dare ask me, “What’s Primos?”….okay, ask if [...]
And sometimes if it doesn’t. Before I left for Africa, I was surprised by the number of people who hinted that I should pack a suitcase full of granola bars.

Rhyme, rhythm, alliteration…you name it. The fact he can make up words and get away with it. I love his books [...]
Okay, I have to confess that I don’t remember ever having eaten cinnamon rolls from Cinnabon. But, that’s what this recipe was originally called, and while I may not know if it’s true these taste like Cinnabon, I know they are delicious. Honestly, this is one of my favorite recipes.
