Hello Everyone,

I know it had been long time since I have done this blog. Several months, I got so busy and got up at my work. I didn't have the chance to share with everyone with this new recipe that I did. Every Christmas morning, I always want to have Christmas breakfast with family. I never got that chance with my mother. At my father's house, we always have Christmas breakfast and it was the best of all. At my mother's house, I made the decision that I want to make Christmas breakfast. What kind of breakfast that I want to make that is so simple and easy at the same time? I started to realized that I was really in mood for cinnamon rolls. I haven't make it for long time. I clearly remember that I did make cinnamon rolls last year in summer while I was in school. I remember that I make the cinnamon rolls that I add the nutmeg in it and bite it that is just taste like Christmas. I decided to make one. This cinnamon rolls will taste like Christmas morning. Here is the recipe that I want to share with you.
