    Orange Cinnamon Rolls

     http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/Orange-Cinnamon-Rolls

    I made these for breakfast a few weeks ago and they were delicious. 

    Now we like big cinnamon rolls around here so I did not get nearly as many as the recipe said that i would. I got one pan instead of two. So next time I think I will double the recipe so that I can make two pans of these. (they really were that good)

    We love cinnamon rolls and adding the orange flavor was fantastic. They were gobbled up really quick and everyone was licking their fingers and would have licked their plates clean too if Mom and had not been in the room.

    PS Something that I have just recently started doing is whenever I buy oranges or lemons I go ahead and zest them and then put the zest into a freezer bag and freeze. It saves me from having to buy a lemon or an orange when I'm not needing the whole thing.

    fairyprincessme--I do the same thing that you do --freeze the zest.  I find that's very convenient to have the zest already 'zested'!  I'm so impressed that you try so many new recipes.  Thanks for all the reviews.

     Carole,

    I wish I would have started freezing the zest sooner. When I think about all those wonderful lemon and orange peels that I just threw away because I didn't know any better ... I just get sick to my stomach Ick! 

    I love trying new recipes but I do have to be careful because my husband and children will start to complain that even though they love a recipe they will never see it again because Mom is always trying new ones. So I do try and make notes on the recipes they really like and have it again (usually the next month). But then I get tired of cooking the same things over and over so I'll go back to all new recipes.
