Ah, Monday. So we meet again. There’s a nip in the air. The threat of darkness hangs around at 4PM now, and we’re one cloud sneeze away from a Nor’easter. I think it’s time we stop and smell the roses.

 

 

…and you thought I actually meant a flower. I mean, do you even KNOW me?!

This (pre) holiday season, I’m happy to be partnering up with Immaculate Baking to shake up your regular baked goodies with some impressively easy and wholesome varieties. You’ll be knockin’ the coal-covered boots off of the man in red this year with a dozen of these blooming beauties.

Plus they’re organic, which I hear he’s into these days. I can’t credit my sources, but hey, why take a chance?

I’ve actually been a fan of Immaculate Baking for years now, especially for their ready to bake pie crusts for Thanksgiving. I don’t care how many times Ina tells me pie dough is as simple as that, mine refuses to be anything besides gummy or rock solid.

There one of the only brands I can find for refrigerated doughs and rolls that don’t have any trans fats or hydrogenated oils hiding in them, which is one of the ingredients I make no exceptions for if I can help it.

But there’s just something about the smell of cinnamon rolls baking away on a holiday morning that sends me into holiday spirit overdrive. I have no shame in the pop and bake game, or using half the container of icing on just my cinnamon bun, but why not find a way to weave some more Martha into it without completely losing it, or serving a jail sentence.

I’ve been seeing these apple roses all over Pinterest, and wanted to try my hands at making some. But puff pastry is boring when you can have sweet and gooey cinnamon rolls instead. Case closed. Β End of story. That’s a wrap.

…Or should I say, roll? πŸ˜‰

A sprinkle of powdered sugar is about the amount of snow I can handle for winter, which I was I have spent my entire life in New England. What else would I complain about all season?

Regardless, the extra pinch of sugar is not necessary, but really it is. IT’S THE HOLIDAYS. Where’s your spirit?!
