Move Over Cinnabon...

Today it was revealed to me what a great cook my cute husband Jeremy is. He has baked and cooked things before, but I must say that these whole wheat cinnamon rolls top the charts! Don't they look amazing? Yes, they do...and they tasted even better! I think that cooking must be a hidden talent of Jeremy's that is slowly surfacing. Needless to say, I like it! All I have to say now is move over Cinnabon, because here comes "The Big Jerm", apron and all!

They look great. All that frosting makes me want to go get a big glass of milk right now.

Jeremy you are always welcome here is Iowa as long as those cinnamon rolls come with you. I guess you could bring Brooke along as well, but the rolls are required.
