We loved reading the blog post she wrote and we hope you do too! ~ Hi, my name is Rylee and I love to cook and bake. I remember cooking as young as six years old. My favorite thing to cook at that age was enchiladas. My favorite thing about baking and cooking is enjoying the different smells. I think cooking helps calm me. I like to cook for all holidays but Christmas is my favorite. I love to share my food with my family and friends. My favorite recipe to make during the fall and Thanksgiving season is cinnamon rolls or anything with a lot of spices. A couple of chefs that inspire me are Duff Goldman and the Pioneer Woman. I love watching Duff because he is funny and childlike and I love watching the Pioneer Woman because she is always so cheerful. Today I’m going to share one of my favorite cinnamon roll recipes that I got from the Pioneer Woman herself – Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls. This recipe is special because it reminds me of fall and I love the way it makes the house smell. I just love the combination of pumpkin and spices! I hope you’ll give this recipe a try and that you enjoy it as much as I do.
