HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLLS

Yummy homemade cinnamon rolls!  
I wanted the house to smell like fall, so I made cinnamon rolls.  When they bake up, the cinnamon smell really escapes into the air.  They were really a hit with my hubby - he finished them off this afternoon for a snack - LOL.  
I used the Cinnamon 101 recipe by Pioneer Woman, but I cut it down by about 1/4th.  Unless you want to make a ton of them and freeze them for later like she does, I recommend doing the same.  Since we live in a small place in central Florence right now, there is just no extra room in the freezer for that kind of thing.  I am jealous of you who have a big fridge with an ice machine!  
Here is how they turned out - you should make them too, right now!!

5 FUN/FAST/FABULOUS IDEAS

A "Mumkin" - hollow out a pumpkin, put in a pretty plant (with the nursery pot or the pumpkin will rot), and tie a pretty ribbon around the plant.  Voila' 

Salad placed in closed containers for outdoor party bug prevention.

Brownies or fudge in cookie cutters for cute holiday gifts.
Just bake/make/decorate and place in plastic bags.
Christmas shown here, but you could use cookie cutters of ANY holiday.

Get some chalkboard contact paper, place your food/drink, write your notes - cool party idea!

What a neat idea to do with cheese cubes, cherry tomatoes, and fresh herbs!

A POST TO TOAST THE BEAUTY OF AUTUMN

This maple tree is from my parents yard in Huntsville, Alabama.  Just pure beauty!

Ahhhhh...Autumn, my absolute favorite season of the year - makes me soooo happy!
These scenes of gorgeous fall leaves just make me want to relax and breathe the open air.  Fall is great for many reasons: falling back for daylight savings time, football, crisp evenings, warmer clothing, the start of comfort food, Halloween, pumpkins, Thanksgiving, back to school, more nighttime, new season of Grey's/Private Practice/NCIS, etc, etc, etc.
