i think it’s fair to say we all need a positive interruption today.

the votes are being cast and the numbers are trickling in.

as a military wife, a mother, and a concerned citizen, i’ve cast my vote for the issues that i hold dear and believe to be vital to who we are as americans. but, as important as this day is in our nation’s history, i can’t decide if i’m ready for it to be over and for the winner to be declared.

so let’s talk about some cinnamon rolls instead!

the perfect distraction and pumpkin, too…

these incredible grain-free pumpkin cinnamon rolls are the best marriage of cinnamon roll and pumpkin bread cravings imaginable. and yep, grain-free! i filled them with a brown sugar, spice, and pecan filling, and spread a simple vanilla-cream cheese frosting on top.

they really are incredible.

instead of watching the poll results through my fingers, maybe i’ll whip up another batch of these so i’ll actually have something to look forward to in the morning…

truly incredible #grainfree pumpkin cinnamon rolls... you'll need these tomorrow morning. Click To Tweet
