How Do You Roll?

Maybe it’s just me, but does anyone else ever get hit with nostalgic cravings? I’m talking about when you suddenly remember something your mom used to make, or maybe a famous recipe of your Grandmother’s and then suddenly- you’re having the biggest craving of your life. And that recipe is all you can think about- until you finally break down and make it ;).


Well I don’t know what hit me, but about a couple weeks ago, something suddenly made me remember that my mom used to make some delicious orange rolls. Have you had orange rolls before? THEY’RE AMAZING. Cinnamon rolls are probably my favorite dessert ever, but orange rolls are a close second- or possibly tied if the day is right ;). They are moist and gooey and orange and citrusy and so delicious!

I haven’t had my mom’s orange rolls in a long time, and I knew it was time to make them for myself ;). I found a recipe in a trusted cookbook and decided to see if it was worth making again- it was DEFINITELY a keeper. These are pretty simple to make, and relatively quick! They only need to rise for 30 minutes, and the recipe itself is easy enough that your kids could totally help! I’m all about easy and tasty!



Add Recipe to Cook'n


I’ll admit, making these rolls got me all excited to try a whole variety of rolls! With this basic roll recipe, you could substitute the orange filling and glaze with a whole plethora of flavors! Just a few ideas:

*maple pumpkin

*blueberry (with lemon!!)

*lemon

*raspberry

*chocolate orange

*strawberry

*chocolate lime

*coconut

*cherry (with almond!)

*Nutella

*eggnog

*cake batter

*peanut butter chocolate

*banana (with caramel or toffee bits;) )

*stuff it with cookie dough (I’m literally drooling…)

*cranberry orange

*peach

Yeah… I’ll probably be making rolls a lot more often. Especially now that it’s cooling down with the arrival of fall!! (Anyone else as excited as me? ;)

So let’s hear it! What flavors of rolls have you made or want to try? Share in the comments below! (I’d love to get more ideas!)
