Whew! This year is flying by at warp speed! I completely forgot to update you all about our St. Nicholas Day this year, but I did post a video on YouTube that I will post below.
We let the kids make their own Santa Pancakes with fresh fruit and whipped cream… yummy! We also had a few things in their stockings, as well as a few little candies. We read the book, ‘Saint Nicholas: The Real Story of the Christmas Legend.’ I will link it below.
As you may have seen, we have really been trying to honor the Biblical Feasts and Sabbath. A part of that journey has led us to making our own Challah bread… it is so delicious and not too hard to make. The most difficult part for me was learning how to braid it. Here is a great instructional video that helped me:
Some Feasts require the Challah to be round in shape:
This is the basic recipe we use, but I will also include options for making other versions too.
Don’t have a Sourdough Starter? No fear, I will have another recipe posting soon that uses yeast instead of sourdough!
Did you know that October 4th is Cinnamon Roll Day? Well, they are pretty good, so I can see why they have their own day, but we don’t need a special day to eat them around here. We do have them requested pretty often for special days though as my older kids don’t get to have them as often as the ones who still live at home.

This may not be one of the easiest recipes on my blog but they sure are delicious! My oldest son requests these every time he comes home so we really try to make them happen. They are a favorite ‘go-to’ for special days and we recently had them for breakfast before the latest baby shower. We also had them for breakfast before the wedding last year.
Forgive the cover photo as I used leftover icing to ice these with… I’ll try to get a better photo the next time I make them 🙂

This is a multi-step process and need a little preparation but they are so worth all the extra effort! These can make any day a special day and we often have them on the mornings of special holidays or events.

You can wait and add these right before baking but I usually add them while I make everything else… adding it later will help them to be extra fluffy!

This is an easy way to make cinnamon rolls from scratch… they aren’t quite as good as our Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls but they are close. This is perfect if you don’t have sourdough.
You can choose to ice them or just give them a little sprinkle of powdered sugar. These remind me of old-fashioned cinnamon rolls as the dough is more of a biscuit texture, but oh so good!
