Oh, y'all, I have a meeting about my thesis this evening after work, and I'm stressed out about it. I'm not sure why I'm stressed about it, other than the fact that I tend to unnecessarily stress about things. Like right now, I know this isn't a big deal, and I know it will be fine . . . but what if it isn't fine? What if he tells me I have to change my topic? What if he tells me it's stupid? Last year when I was on my way to orientation I kept thinking, what if it's a big mistake? What if I get there and they tell me to go home? Luckily I had Dudley walking me down there, distracting me by discussing why Burt Reynolds is the greatest actor, ever.
Even though I'm not actually eating the cinnamon rolls, just looking and writing about them is pretty comforting right now. My BaBa used to make cinnamon rolls, and as far as I'm concerned they're definitely comfort food. They're warm, and soft, seriously tasty, and they remind me of my great grandmother. I kinda wish I'd made the sticky buns, as the glaze doesn't really blow my hair back, but there's always next time. I think that next time I'll leave the lemon zest out of the dough, too, because I felt like the citrus flavor was competing with the cinnamon flavor in these rolls.
So, no offense to BaBa, but I am certain that everyone would agree that these cinnamon rolls are better than hers. She'd probably agree, too; in fact, I think that she'd be so excited with this new recipe. I will definitely make these again -- it might be a few months, I'm definitely overwhelmed by all of the enriched breads right now -- but these cinnamon rolls will reappear.

Those look absolutely perfect ugh, GOD I wish cinnamon rolls could be a fat free food! And I know how you feel with the stressing about the worst possible scenario, especially with school! I'm sure you'll be fine!! :)
I think cinnamon rolls like this could cure just about anything! They look perfect - and delicious - and wonderful!
They look so yummy! I can't wait to get to this recipe in the book. Good luck with your meeting:)
I love your glaze! These were great, but I wish I'd made the sticky buns, too.
I know you're going to knock it out of the park tonight (but since you're east of me, i think it's past tense by now!)
Ciao ! I hope your meeting was OK ! Your buns are ! They are a wonder !
YOur cinnamon rolls look perfect! I hope your thesis meeting went well.
Those look wonderful.
You will do fine with your meeting. At this point stressing unnecessary!
Easy for me to say, I've already been there - done that. Hang in.
I'm glad that you found a recipe that will provide superior comfort when such is needed - theses are inherently stressful, I'd imagine. I made several changes to this recipe and loved the results. They were easy enough that I'll make them again, too.
I hope your meeting went well! Your cinnamon rolls look fabulous. I love love loved this recipe - it is definitely my new go-to. I thought these were pretty easy to throw together and seriously delicious. I did cinnamon buns too, but the sticky buns will be next.
Yikes...those look incredibly delicious!
Mmm. Those look really good. I left the lemon zest out both times I've made these, and they're definitely just fine without it. =)
