  1. Hi Amanda!

    This is by far my favorite recipe! I was very excited about the fact that I could make cinnamon rolls at home because I only ate them from Cinnabon or other places that serve them (like Skillet). They are one of my favorite treats and I am so happy that you shared this recipe so that I (and I am sure a lot of other people) can make these yummy treats at home with an easy to follow recipe. I look forward to trying more recipes.
