Pecan pie cinnamon rolls

Hi there! Yes, I’m still alive. I’mma make this post quick and dirty (or as much so as is possible in this corner of the internet) because I’ve got a shit ton of homework to do and this lazy Sunday is drawing to a close all too rapidly.

These cinnamon rolls began when I got a copy of Dessert Mash-Ups, the book by Dorothy Kern, for Christmas last year (that’s where having a GoodReads wish-list comes in handy, people). That book is full of devilishly good ideas, but I was immediately drawn to these cinnamon rolls. Obviously. I never say no to a good cinnamon roll. 

Caramel apple cinnamon rolls

Need a way to use up all that god damn caramel sauce you whipped up for that huge cake you made a couple weeks ago? Look no further! Because June is here to save the day, yet again, with cinnamon rolls!

Pumpkin cinnamon rolls with cinnamon glaze

How is it almost winter already? It feels as though the leaves just started turning yesterday! I haven’t had nearly enough pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin baked goods for the end of fall to be so near!

But there’s nothing to do about that no except keep forging forward in stoic denial of the impending cold, dark weather and snowy afternoons, and make some pumpkin cinnamon rolls. 

Vegan cinnamon rolls

“Why would anyone eat anything other than breakfast food?” A notable quote from the show Parks and Recreation. A show that I happen to be in the midst of binge-watching, starting from season one, because holy shit it is good. I had heard so much about it that I couldn’t resist trying a few episodes for myself, and now it’s too late—I’m addicted.
