It's a time we can gather together, family, friends and neighbors are invited, for the feeding of both body and soul. The nutrition of the mind and body are of equal importance at this time . . . so I'm planning my General Conference menus today! The one recipe that is always on the menu are the morning General Conference Cinnamon rolls! If you don't have this recipe - you NEED it now! The recipe is meant to be started the evening before - but I do it the morning of all the time also.
Then comes the nourishment of a spiritual nature, peaceful feelings, confirmations of the spirit, answers to questions pondered, and even the words of reprovement leading to thoughts of self improvement. It's all part of the package deal. I love that this frequently leads to stimulating family conversation, testimonies of our Savior, gratefulness for modern prophets who testify of gospel principles that apply to us each day.
Pajamas, quilts, cinnamon rolls, yummy family gathering . . . yes, I think we all look forward to this family time, and every family time . . . because of our knowledge that we can be a forever family. What could be sweeter? Not even those cinnamon rolls :D
But hmmm . . . pondering the rest of the menu . . . thinking crock pot, maybe pulled pork . . .
Would love to hear what your family favorite recipes are!! ??
Wait! I think I'm hearing a little . . . "from the crossroads of the West" . . . beginning . . .

I can't wait for conference to come. Sometimes I really feel like I need that boost more than others, and this is one of those times.
I wish I had started a food tradition at conference time for my kids. I have them for all the holidays, but the conference thing never occurred to me. Missed opportunity!
However, I am going to tell my DIL about it.
=)
Those look just amazing!!!! I like making pulled pork in the crockpot too!
Thanks for posting this. I planned on referring to the recipe in one of my upcoming posts, and I didn't want to search all over to find it!
Ironically I was just craving cinnamon rolls for this weekend. I am always looking for a good recipe. Sadly, I don't have a great one. Yeast and I still have issues.
Dumb question (but I will ask anyway): What size/type of pan do you use? Approximately how many rolls does this make?
Thanks!
Oh man! I wish I was conferencing at your house!
Will you mail me a cinnamon roll?
We have "Conference Casserole." A yummy breakfast casserole!

That phrase always sends a thrill through me. "From the crossroads from the west..." I love it!
I am always looking for a good menu for Conference. I am excited to try your cinnamon rolls. Thanks!
I went and picked up apple cinnamon bread to make our favorite french toast today. My diet will be shot, but oh well!
