Wednesday Baking Adventures

I have recently realized that ever since my sister-in-law started her new blog about cooking, that I have been baking something every Wednesday. I know that I have been baking before that, but I don’t think that it was every week. Lucky for Roland, it seems to be a habit that I am getting and even looking forward to each week! Since I don’t have pictures of my last few weeks of my creations, I will just tell you what they are, and then someday I will remake them and post about it!

Previous weeks Wednesday Baking Adventures have included:
•    Lemon Poppy Seed Bread with Glaze
•    Cinnamon Streusel Muffins
•    Lemon Spice Muffins
•    Carrot Cake Bread
•    Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
•    Braided Cheese Bread
•    Banana Bread
•    Potato Rolls

My new goal is to post a picture of what I bake each week! I don’t only bake on Wednesdays, but I want to post every Wednesday something new that I baked. My oven gets more exercise than just once a week, in fact this week I baked some Braided Cheese Bread on Sunday to go with lasagna that we had to celebrate my dad’s birthday and I baked bread bowls on Tuesday to go with the chili that we served the missionaries for dinner!

This week I decided to take a walk down memory lane! One of my fondest childhood memories is going down to my Grandma Jefferson’s house and baking with her! I don’t know how often we would do it, but I always remember having so much fun! We would make bread and rolls, and then deliver some to some of the older ladies in the neighborhood. I love spending time with my grandma, she doesn’t bake so much now, but whenever I make homemade bread or rolls, I always think of her!

Today I made cinnamon rolls! This was something that Grandma and I would make together too!  I remember my grandma teaching me to measure out the flour, and I would make a HUGE mess, but Grandma would always smile and tell me to try again!  One of the things I love most about baking cinnamon rolls is how the cinnamon just fills the whole house! As I was cooking today, and thinking about my grandma, I was thinking to myself that I hope my daughter will be able to look back and have wonderful memories about learning how to cook too! Someday I will have to teach her, but as for today, I am going to enjoy my cinnamon rolls smothered in cream cheese frosting!

Here are my fresh out of the oven cinnamon rolls! I can't wait to eat one!
