It feels like summer out there but (if you follow me on Instagram you already know) fall has kicked into high gear in my kitchen. Here are some of the usual suspects that will be on the rotation this fall. What are you cooking?

Marscapone Cheese Frosting

Sunday morning, I popped out of bed to make these cinnamon rolls. I know I've already posted about the Baker Chick's cinnamon rolls but they are so good that they warranted another post.  This time I changed up the frosting just a bit. Instead of cream cheese I used marscapone cheese & it was every bit as delicious, I may even like it better. 

Chris & I each had one for breakfast. Ok & then we shared one - one & a half each.  After our taste-testing I packed them up to bring them to the proud parents, Duclie & Brian, big brother of the newest TWINS in our family! And since food tastes better when it's shared we brought some to Chris's parents house too to share with more family. There were no leftovers which translates to SUCCESS!

The Baker Chick's Cinnamon Rolls

As you may know, it's more or less freezing outside. Earlier this week instead of going to the gym I made cinnamon rolls. When it's super cold out you really should just throw on your favorite soft pants, crank the oven & bake something sweet.

After perusing the internet & recipes by Paula Deene & The Pioneer Woman I came upon a new (to me) blog, The Baker Chick.  I immediately loved this blog & decided that her 90-minute browned butter cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting recipe was the one for me.

My one word of advice would be to read the recipe all the way through & to plan for a pan that the recipe calls for. I did not follow this advice & found myself with cinnamon rolls popping out of my pans! Fortunately, the outcome was still delicious, in fact dangerously so. After Chris & I taste-tested the fresh rolls out of the oven we knew we couldn't keep them in our house. I packed up two to-go containers of rolls to share with our teams of coworkers in the morning. There was no way we could have been trusted at home with them alone. They wouldn't stand a chance, we would have eaten them all!  Luckily our coworkers took care of the leftovers :)
