Memory:
Jennifer Fife taught me how to make cinnamon rolls and many other kinds of bread. She and I went through a period of time where we baked bread for our families and didn't buy any at the stores. Very yummy!!! I really appreciate her help on this and have even taught RS Enrichment lessons on this after she taught me.
I also have loved making them for my family and friends. My daughters make them and they are great at it!
**Warning - they are addicting!
