Cinnamon Rolls!

For some reason, making cinnamon rolls became a two-weeklong obsession for me this month.  I don't know where exactly this desire came from, but when it did come, I thought about it almost every day until I finally attempted to make them, using this Allrecipes.com recipe.  The major takeaways from this effort are:

• Homemade cinnamon rolls are definitely worth the effort — even just the smell of them baking in the oven made my week.
• Make sure you have a lot of butter handy, and that you don't have a fear of consuming large amounts of it in one sitting.
• The leftovers still taste absolutely amazing — which is a little dangerous because at first, I thought that this would only be an entertaining occasion recipe because this recipe makes so many servings.  Oh well, I'll just have to accept that my butter consumption is going to be higher in the future.

The more mundane details about how I altered the recipe are:  substituting whole wheat flour for 1/2 of the all-purpose flour called for, and reducing the baking time to 16 minutes.  I think that I probably should have baked them for a little bit more though because some of the rolls were a little dough-y, so perhaps I'll increase the baking time to 18 – 19 minutes next time.  Additionally, I am allergic to nuts so I did not include the pecans.

Enjoy!
