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!

How to make Cinnamon Sugar Crescent Rolls Recipe

• Preheat Oven 350F
• On a cutting board roll out crescent rolls
• Use a rolling pin to create one large sheet
