Baking Bread: A Lovely Thing

After a summer of turning on the oven as little as possible, I'm trying to get us back into the habit of baking bread together to begin the week.  Yesterday the kids requested cinnamon rolls.  Not exactly what I had in mind, but I can certainly roll with that!

Normally my "go to" recipe for cinnamon rolls makes over 60 rolls (which we will be making this weekend to stock up the freezer for the holidays), so instead of being that ambitious yesterday, to ease back into the baking habit we made the simple cinnamon roll recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. 

Lovely Things

Bread is a lovely thing to eat -

God bless the barley and the wheat!

A lovely thing to breathe is air -

God bless the sunshine everywhere!

The earth's a lovely place to know -

God bless the folks that come and go!

Alive's a lovely thing to be -

Giver of life - we say - bless Thee!

Have you been baking with your children lately?
