I love cinnamon - and I especially love cinnamon rolls. These ones are definitely on my top ten list of recipes I use the most. They are very easy to make, always turn out great - and depending on the occasion you can opt for different icings - from the quick and easy 'icing sugar and water' one to the deliciously decadent (but actually still quick and easy) 'cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla pods' one. Melted chocolate and chopped, roasted nuts on top are also an option :)
I have very fond childhood memories of these buns that my mom always used to make. It is a white bun that is light and fluffy, - and with a lovely hint of cardamom. I know to some it might sound odd adding cardamom to bread - I do think it is a Scandinavian tradition to flavour a lot of bread and pastries with cardamom - but I promise you, you have nothing to worry about. It is not an overwhelming spice, by any means - at least not in the quantities added here - and if you are still not sure, then you can always start out just adding a bit and see how you like it :) Or leave it out completely - I won't mind :)
This is the first blanket I ever crocheted. And interestingly, also the only blanket I've ever made that's just one color. This was solely due to the fact that I had no clue how to change color. But that being said, I do like that it is all in white. It is made of double crochet stitches throughout - the first stitch I learned - and it is crocheted using a 4 mm hook. The yarn is a wool blend from Ice Yarns - it has since been discontinued - but it is a warm white with a light shimmer in the yarn. I gave the blanket to my mom for her birthday and she still uses it :)
