To say that Bryan LOVES his Grandma Melba's cinnamon rolls is an understatement. I have gotten pretty good at making them. It used to turn my kitchen into a disaster, but it is not so bad anymore. Well, this morning I thought I would make some for him since we don't have church until 12. As I was filling the dough with butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar I was telling Bry I was thinking I wanted to try a batch with some chopped up apples in the middle or some pumpkin pie spice. He tells me that I should not mess with perfection...Grandma's cinnamon rolls are pretty tasty! Anyhow - when it comes to the icing it seems to turn out differently for me everytime. Grandma's recipe is not exact my any means and sometimes I get it right on and sometimes.....not so much. So I thought I would experiment with a cream cheese icing this time. Success! I thought i
t turned out great and I even wrote down exactly how I did it so I can duplicate it if needed. Bryan is still partial to the original, but I would say this icing comes in at a close second to accompany these delightful, calorie -loaded baked treats!

OOOOOOHHHHHH YUM! That was not a nice post because guess what I want to make!
Ah- you two are such good homemakers... I'm all about cinn rolls in a tube.
Those look so good! Now I want to make some...maybe it will help me get over my need for chocolate (since I cant have any right now).

wow Meg, I wish I was as good a homemaker as you. I really need to work on those skills haha. Those cinnamon rolls do look really good!
Thanks to you, I am going to attempt to make cinnamon rolls tomorrow morning while watching conference! (Spencer is pretty happy about this) I don't want to ruin them on my first attempt so I am cheating just a bit...ready-made dough. Pathetic I know, but at least I am trying! Wish me luck! (I am not a baker, I can cook...baking is just not my thing)
Hi! I hope you don't mind that I found your blog. If these are the same cinnamon rolls you made us they are really good and I want the recipe.
