Tasty Tuesday: Trishy’s Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

It is Tuesday… and it is Tasty!

Today my sister is taking over the blog again, you’ll remember that I did a SPOTLIGHT post on her awhile back. If you missed that, you can check that out right here!

My sister is incredible at so many things, but she has always been a superb baker! So I told her to whip something up and share it with me! She chose her homemade cinnamon rolls!! She has been making these for years and they are sensational! 

I was so happy she chose cinnamon rolls! I thought y’all might be looking for a yummy recipe like this for when you have company over for the holidays! BONUS- you can make the dough the night before too!

Let’s get to it!!
