Recreating Glory

So. Confession time. Man vs Food makes me feel like I can take on anything! Most of my family gets grossed out watching that guy eat...me? Yeah, sometimes it hurts me to watch him...but other times he inspires me!!

Adam traveled to San Antonio in a rerun that was shown recently. And this particular time watching the episode, I was inspired to bake.

I was inspired to attempt a recreation of glory...otherwise known as the cinnamon rolls from Lulu's Bakery and Cafe.

 (skip to 1:15 for the glory)

Now. As a disclaimer, I did not actually make a 3 1/2 lbs cinnamon roll. I DID however, make some pretty ginormous ones! Aaaaaaannnndddd. THEY WERE DELICIOUS!!!! Can you guess what recipe I used?? Just take a wild guess, and if you have no clue, you need to read my previous posts. :D

**SPOILER** 

I used the best bread recipe in the world as the roll part.

In the Oven!

Beautious!

The frosting looks fantastic! :)

It's not 3 1/2 lbs...but it's close!!!!

It seems to have a heavenly glow...

The last bite

Bread recipe can be found at: Our Best Bites

for the filling:

1/2    cup    butter

1       cup    brown sugar (firmly packed)

3-4   TBS   gr. cinnamon

2       oz   cream cheese

The very essence of heaven. No joke. I wouldn't lie to you.

Enjoy!

Back to My Bread

*sigh. Sometimes I wonder if I should just turn this into a bread blog. I honestly LOVE my bread recipe so much!! And since I didn't have time to try making anything new for Valentine's Day. . . I decided to put a twist on a recipe that I know EVERYBODY loves!!

So it's really just a normal bread braid using the dinner roll recipe from previous posts, but instead of leaving it in a line-braid, I connected the ends and then pushed the middle in the make a heart shape. Easy, delicious, and PERFECT for Valentine's Day :)

This idea could be used for any holiday or just for fun! A four-leaf clover for March? Maybe an oval shape for Easter? even a Mickey head? This recipe is quite delicious in whatever shape you eat it!!

(the roll recipe can be found at Our Best Bites Seriously, check these guys out. Everything they make looks FANTASTIC!)

If you missed me, clap your hands! (can I get a *clap clap!)

NEVER promise anything when it comes to blogs!!! That's my lesson for today. I promised you all a post about the Gingerbread War and I have put off writing because I've been waiting for pictures! So as a result, I didn't post AT ALL in January. I'm a terrible blogger. I should have at least posted about the delicious stuff I was making as I waited for pics. . . And guess what?? I still haven't gotten around to getting the pictures. So. Not only did I not post in January, I still haven't come through on a promise I made to you guys. So basically. . . I FAIL.

This is an apology post. No food. Which might be counter-productive lol. Apologizing always goes over easier with something tasty to accompany it. But, though I AM NOT making any promises. . . I will post a Valentine's food idea/treat soon!!

Thanks for those who are mad at me for not posting haha. It means you guys actually read my blog enough to want the next post!

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and New Year! (Even is it was Molly-less lol)
