text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Because they are so easy and such a treat, they are one of my favorite gifts to give.  Last year I baked Cinnamon Roll Bread in my <a href="http://everyday-occasions.myshopify.com/collections/baking-supplies/products/wooden-baking-baskets-set-of-6">Wooden Baking Baskets</a> (still a favorite - the medium is great for 2 rolls) so this year I packaged them in one of my <a href="http://everyday-occasions.myshopify.com/collections/gift-wrap/products/cookie-boxes-set-of-10">Cookie Boxes</a> for giving.  </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">To dress them up a little, I wrapped them in <a href="http://everyday-occasions.myshopify.com/collections/gift-wrap/products/cotton-ribbon">Thin Cotton Ribbon</a> and added a <a href="http://everyday-occasions.myshopify.com/collections/gift-wrap/products/stocking-tags">Stocking Tag</a>.  In very little time, we ended up with 4 boxes of Cinnamon Rolls for giving and 4 rolls for eating.  It is a great project for kids to help with because there is very little precision involved - just lots of sprinkling sugar and cinnamon and drizzling icing.  All things at which Emma excels : )</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

font-size: x-large;"><i>O</i></span>ur February Saturday mornings have been very cozy around here.  Usually, I get up early and get to go to the grocery store all by myself : )  Little luxurious.  Strangely enough, I always buy/spend way more when I'm alone - probably because I'm a more ambitious cook when I'm shopping in a non-hectic, chasing after Emma fashion.  On this Saturday morning, (in addition to quite a few of other things) I came home with Blood Oranges, Blueberries and Tulips to inspire a big breakfast.<br /><br /><a data-pin-config="beside" data-pin-do="buttonPin" href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fjennysteffens.blogspot.com%2F2014%2F02%2Fblueberry-vanilla-bean-pancakes.html&media=http%3A%2F%2F2.bp.blogspot.com%2F-oEonh8vcR3w%2FUwZNnNSh26I%2FAAAAAAAAVzI%2FSgss-wf1sGg%2Fs1600%2Fblueberry-pancakes.jpg&description=Our%20Favorite%20Blueberry%20%26%20Vanilla%20Bean%20Pancakes"><img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pinit_fg_en_rect_gray_20.png" /></a><!-- Please call pinit.js only once per page --><script async="" src="//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js" type="text/javascript"></script><br /><br />Our Saturday morning breakfasts usually consist of scones, pancakes or cinnamon rolls, bacon or sausage, herb scrambled eggs and fruit.  Much to Mike and Emma's delight, I've recently been experimenting with different pancake recipes.  I started with two favorites - Barefoot Contessa Sour Cream Banana Pancakes + Pioneer Woman Perfect Pancakes.  After tinkering with the proportions of each, and adding our own favorite flavors (blueberries & my coveted <a href="http://everyday-occasions.myshopify.com/collections/baking-supplies/products/vanilla-bean-paste">vanilla bean paste</a>), I came up with our new go-to recipe.  One of the tricks (brought to my attention by my sister) is to cook them in half oil and half butter.  You get the brown crisp from the oil and the lovely buttery flavor.<br /><br /><iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="710" scrolling="no" src="//instagram.com/p/kKYHTrDfiL/embed/" width="612"></iframe><br /><br />If you follow me on <a href="http://instagram.com/jennysteffenshobick#">Instagram</a>, you've already seen the above a sneak peek from the morning of.  By the way, Instagram is the easiest way to get in touch with me if you have any questions or comments about a recipe.  I find that I am actually pretty quick with responses on there because they come right to my phone and I don't have to login to the blog, as I do when responding to comments below.  Just an FYI if you need to ask me a question in a hurry.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
