A Love Hate Relationship: Cinnamon Rolls

Since I'm writing this blog about life's simple pleasures, I figured it was best to start with what I love best: Food! It's no secret I love to cook, and in particular, I enjoy baking. So naturally when I came across the notorious blogger "Pioneer Woman's" must have cinnamon roll recipe, I was in the kitchen faster than you can say 5,000 calories.

2 hours and 2 lbs of sugar and butter later, I had cinnamon rolls in our kitchen that could complete with my own mother's. Planning to divide them up equally and deliver them to numerous friends, I naturally ate every single roll that very night. Wanting to make a tearful call to "Over eaters Anonymous", my wonderful mother was second in line. She proceeded to give me a formal definition of what I had done, a term called Binge eating.
Needless to say, I went to bed five pounds heavier and a little more learned about the term binge eating.
