Simple to make Cinnamon Rolls 

With Easter coming early this year we are in the kitchen baking up new recipes that we will serve for brunch! I have such sweet childhood memories of Easter. I always loved the pastel colored dresses with matching bonnets (I am so singing the song in my head right now as I type), Easter egg hunts, going to church, and of course eating chocolate from my Easter basket for breakfast!

Enjoying food at Easter holds fond memories too and now that I’m a Mom I’m looking to recreate those memories for my children. I don’t want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen on holidays, so I look to bake up easy and delicious recipes!

How to make Ground Cinnamon

I gathered together all my ingredients only to discover that I had forgotten one of the most important ones at the store. Cinnamon! Thank goodness I learned the cinnamon kitchen hack awhile back. If you have cinnamon sticks, you can make your own ground cinnamon!

I just used a coffee grinder or a magic bullet grind a few cinnamon sticks until they become powder like just like store bought ground cinnamon! Whew, with that taken care of, it’s time to create these delicious Cinnamon Sugar Crescent Rolls!
