I’ve been wanting to make cinnamon rolls for the past two weeks and haven’t done it . . mainly because I know we’ll eat them all and we don’t need them. When I was at the grocery store last week, I bought a roll of canned cinnamon rolls and made the last night.
Cinnamon Rolls
We each had two and I wasn’t going to save the rest. Vince said “Are you keeping these extras?” and I said no. He said “You mean you went to the trouble to make the and you’re not saving them?” I said “they came out of a can and I don’t like them heated up!” He thought I had made them from scratch. That says (1) they’re pretty darned good or (2) he pays no attention to the difference in homemade vs. storebought.
They’re ok but it’s night and day difference between those and homemade so, that leaves me to believe that he’s just as happy with canned cinnamon rolls or storebought bread as he is with homemade. I don’t even know what to think! 🙂

I think if you didn’t grow up with homemade, the “chemical” taste that I associate with canned biscuits/cinnamon rolls is the flavor you think is good. Hubby’s mom made fantastic cinnamon rolls but said she couldn’t make biscuits so always used canned biscuits. He thinks canned biscuits are great, me no, just no.

These are so much better purchased at Sams. I bought some at Walmart and they are totally different. I cheat sometimes…not enough hours sometimes!

Canned cinnamon rolls will never beat out “real” homemade cinnamon rolls. The frozen unbaked cinnamon rolls in the store’s freezer case come close but still not as good. Didn’t you say Vince has a bad cold? I think it’s affected his taste buds. 🙂

I expect all he tasted was cinnamon and sugar. =)

When one of my neighbors was a newlywed she tried and tried to make a biscuits and her husband always told her they just weren’t as good as his Mom’s. You guessed it, his Mom always used canned biscuits.

i have been very lazy and have not made homemade bread in years. I used to make the best Angel Biscuits you have ever tasted. My mother in law gave me the recipe.

I discovered that Sonic has little pillow shaped Cinnabon donuts, with the icing on their desert list. I can get 3 in an order. They are really good! I can only eat 1/2 of one at a time, so I let my husband and son have the others.
