Last Friday, my oldest had a day off from school and we made one of his favorite breakfast treats, cinnamon rolls. Of course, when my 8 year old is in the kitchen he always tries to add a “kid inspired” twist to everything we cook. This cooking adventure was no different and we had cinnamon rolls with green icing & Halloween sprinkles served on monster plates.
