Cinnamon Rolls

There is love in the world. Real, sincere “all I need is love” love. And that’s why I love Valentine’s Day best, and it’s why I made these cinnamon rolls in heart shaped cake pans and it’s why I will proudly wear my new heart shaped sunglasses [Thanks Jacob!]. And it’s probably got something to do with the 3 teeny hearts on the inside of my wrist. There’s no big meaning to that tattoo, but…

Mini Dutch Apple Galettes

Every fall, the trees along the sidewalk place the prettiest of their leaves in my path for me to find! Sometimes I put them in my pocket and bring them home. It’d be rude not to! They were gifts after all…but it’s not fall yet is it? It’s August! …but today feels like fall, and to be honest, I’m having a hard time embracing it. But this recipe (and maybe a new pair of boots)…
