Quick Orange-Walnut Sweet Rolls...these may make my top 5 list!

Y'all, I have to say that I was a little hesitant to make these after making 'Jo's Fatayer' (which I was so excited for) that used canned biscuits and turned out terribly. But these sweet rolls are the perfect mix of home made and prepared items, semi-homemade if you'd like.

The most fantastic thing about this recipe is that you can have something that tastes like it took all day to make, ready in about 10 minutes. I am not this biggest fan of using pre packaged items. There have even been a few recipe in this book that I have swapped out the Velveeta for cream cheese in. I made an effort a few years back to remove all processed foods from my kitchen, there is the occasional exception, but for the most part I keep it as real as possible.

I even take is so far as to stay up all night to make cinnamon rolls from scratch every Thanksgiving and Christmas for the family. I have this secret recipe that was handed down to me and it take 10 hours from start to finish. So I start them just before dinner the night before and then everyone gets to wake up to the smell of fresh yeasty cinnamon rolls wafting through the house. It's a pretty heavenly way to wake up! Note...I only do this 2 times a year, so they have to savor it when it happens. ?

But, when you want to have a sweet and simple Saturday morning this is the recipe that you want to keep in you back pocket. You can even customize it any way you want. Maybe you have pecans or almonds on hand, use those. You could even do a lemon poppy seed glaze if you wanted to. Maybe you add in a little Hawaiian flair with some Macadamias and a lime or key lime glaze. The possibilities are endless, use what you have and just get a little creative.

So those are the pro tips I have for you on this one, make it as is or use it as a base to get super creative. I would love to see your 'Kreations', leave me a comment below for send me your picture on instagram @kendellkreations.

Until next time, happy cooking!

Here are a few links to some of my favorite kitchen tools!

My FAV Silicone Tongs, I have 4 sets in my kitchen! ?

My FAV Sheet Pans, every kitchen should have at least 2 sets of these!

This is my favorite pressure cooker, the same as an "Instant Pot" but easier to use in my opinion, if you don't have one you need one, it will be your best friend in the kitchen!

A sharp knife is the most important tool in the kitchen, these are my favorite!

This 11" skillet is just the right size for almost anything you will need to cook and my best friend in the kitchen, it’s also a great deal. Scanpan is the best in the world for healthy cooking. It is coated with a ceramic titanium coating that is durable while allowing you to use less fats and oils when cooking. It is a proprietary coating only they use. I could talk all day about my love for these pans, message me if you want more info.

8" & 10" Skillet set or 8" Skillet, I still need this one for my kitchen ?

This giant vat of olive oil is my favorite, I decant it into a smaller bottle for my counter. Or put this spigot on top of a wine bottle!

This jar scraper has to be my single favorite kitchen tool, it is definitely the most used tool in my kitchen.

A great wood spoon is essential, the Olive Wood one is the best, I have more than I can count ?A food scale can be a very important tool in your kitchen, this one is the one I use every day!
