I hibernated through the winter. Almost every day looked like this: work, come home and exercise, make dinner, and burrow directly INTO the couch to watch several episodes of West Wing (bless the good Lord and Aaron Sorkin for all seven seasons).
Winter is always hard (and PNW greyness doesn’t help) and this one was the hardest. But SPRING is here. I could not be more grateful.

I can’t do January without cinnamon rolls. Can’t and won’t. It’s not right. There’s a reason I’m not into diets and resolutions and whatnots. It gets in the way of the carbs, usually.
Ryan’s favorite food is probably a biscuit and mine is probably a cinnamon roll, so it was only a matter of time until this happened. I made these while my sister was in town and they were a huge hit. Flaky biscuit goodness + cinnamon and butter is all you need, really.

I sure did just take a break from this little blog. It’s that time of year again, when really I’d like to curl into a pile of blankets till June. It’s still fall according to the calendar, but that chill has come over the air; winter is hanging over us. We’re making and eating lots of good food, and watching West Wing from the beginning (ten years late I know but we’re TOTALLY HOOKED). I’m cross-stitching like a fool (it’s so soothing, you know?) and generally cutting myself a little more slack than normal. It’s that time of year. Recipes coming soon!

Pear love continues! Once I saw these scones, they had to be mine. Sadly mine aren’t so pretty, but they are gluten-free!
These scones are equally easy and lovely – and roasted pears are a REVELATION. Why haven’t I gone here sooner? There’s no explanation.

There’s just something about homemade bread I can’t get over. Sundays are bread-baking days in my house – it’s like therapy. Apparently I need to do some mixing, kneading, and rising to properly prepare myself for the week ahead. Usually I spend most of Sunday in the kitchen and I try to squeeze in some bread as often as possible. It just puts my head in the right place!
I loved these rolls because of the oatmeal – it gives such a nutty flavor and great chew. Yum. Totally into dunking these rolls into big bowls of soup…and Ryan even made some sliders with them! I popped a bunch of them into the freezer and I’m pretty excited to have homemade rolls on hand this winter.
