      This makes two loaves. We usually eat one loaf right when it comes out is the oven! These freeze nicely as well.

  • Overnight cinnamon rolls

    • Jronay on April 20, 2026

      This is the best cinnamon roll recipe ever. They are perfect for Christmas morning as you can make them the day before. I have shared this recipe several times. I make a cream cheese icing for the top as I think that cream cheese cuts through the Sweetness of the cinnamon rolls.

    ...is not a quick fix meal plan book for busy families. Instead it encourages families to spend time together in the kitchen by giving detailed instructions and recipes to make from scratch.

Publishers Text

For Maria Helm Sinskey - author, award-winning chef, and mother - one of the best ways to spend time with family and friends is to gather in the kitchen to cook. Whether tossing a salad of lettuces fresh from the garden, or filling the house with the scent of Banana - Brown Sugar Muffins and hearty Braised Beef Stew, Maria and her family show you how effortless it is to have fun in the kitchen.

Filled with delicious, easy to prepare, made-from-scratch recipes such as Fresh Rosemary Focaccia, Corn Fritters with Lime, Chicken-Coconut Curry, and Baked Butterscotch Puddings, Family Meals is written for people of all ages. Maria's experience with her own children and those of friends and family prove that when kids help select ingredients and join in the fun of meal preparation, they're more eager to eat what they've cooked, and revel in their culinary triumphs at the table. Family Meals is much more than just a collection of recipes. Each chapter sparks curiosity about where food comes from and how the foods we love are made through culinary projects such as curing bacon, smoking salmon, and making homemade ricotta cheese. This book is sure to become a staple in your kitchen, and will launch the small to the tall on a delicious culinary journey filled with fresh, wholesome, seasonal meals that are a joy to create and satisfying to eat.
