I went to the garden and collected a few new beetroots and carrots – regular ones and purple ones. We had potatoes together with chicken legs; they made a hearty dinner. It’s such a rainy and cold day outside… perfect for staying cozy inside with comfort food.
Jānis brought me a cinnamon roll, and the cloudy sunset was absolutely amazing.
I can’t believe it’s already August and that summer—and my vacation—is almost over. I had such a lovely time. There’s still some pillow-making to do, but maybe that will wait for the weekend.

The summer is too short. I made cinnamon rolls this past weekend. The kids were over on Sunday, and they loved them.

How do you make them? I wish I could make them from scratch… anytime 🙂 But that might be a terrible idea, I would bake them all the time.

I have a sweet, butter bread recipe that I use. I roll out the dough in a rectangle, spread softened butter over the dough, sprinkle it with brown sugar and then cinnamon. I tightly roll up the dough and then cut it into about 2-3 inch pieces and place them in a greased pan. Raise for about 45 minutes, then bake. When cool, I spread a frosting of cream cheese, butter and powdered sugar over them.
