I use Saturdays to “get ahead” on the food prep for the coming week: to make bread, to get at least one quick breakfast option baked, to make something yummy for Sundays.
Here’s what came out of my kitchen this Saturday!
Pretty Breads
This week I did muffins, whole wheat dinner rolls, and cinnamon rolls.
I plan on posting my muffin recipe – Whole Wheat Cinnamon Muffins – next week!
Happy Cinnamon Rolls
Baking cinnamon rolls for Sunday morning is my latest attempt to set Sundays apart as a special day, a little mini holiday. They are 100% whole wheat and not the most decadent; after all, I don’t want everyone having a sugar crash at church! But I do add frosting, so the kids all think they’re the best.
Funny
I have a little kitchen helper currently who loves to come in and get a little work done on the sly.
It’s a good thing she’s so super cute.
It’s a good thing I’m super cute? Well, at least, it’s a good thing I feed my family and make them happy.
I make plenty of mess on my own, thankyouverymuch.
Real Delicious Convenience
I’ve been caramelizing onions (5-6) and roasting heads of garlic (3-4) on Saturday and then just pulling out the already-delicious and chopped veggies as the start of dinners throughout the week.
- I also have Capturing Conviviality at Simply Convivial on my latest attempts at keeping a reasonable routine.

Those cinnamon rolls look delicious–and they sound like the perfect Sunday morning treat! I agree with the “let’s not have a sugar crash during church” idea!
