Raspberry Swirl Sweet Rolls

Since I am going to be doing Paleo this coming month, I had a few recipes I wanted to try out before the deadline came. One of those recipe I tried was from Pinterest (of course!). Look at how delicious this looks!! But, I was actually a little disappointed. I think if I make them again I can probably adjust them to my liking. The picture above is not the ones I made but from the person I got this recipe from.

Surprisingly, they were too sweet for me! So I think next time I make them I'm going to add half the amount of sugar. They were also a little dry, so I'll bake them a little less longer and add less flour. My last complaint is that it needed WAY more fruit! I actually didn't have any raspberries so I used just a bag of mixed berries, which was delicious by the way, but I wanted way more than what the recipe called for.

Ok, so I lied when I said that was my last complaint. I hated the glaze recipe. Absolutely hated it. I'm still searching for a recipe for glaze that I like, but I definitely wont be using that one again. Granted it was just powdered sugar and milk, but there has got to be something better than that. Maybe I will look for a copycat of the Cinnabon glaze....

So that was my weekend! As fun as it was to make it, I probably won't make them again for a good long while.

The Food Of Spain

Before we get going, I’d like to just say that I'm not actually judging ALL the food in Spain! This is the title of an amazing cook book by Claudia Roden. While I am no expert on foreign foods, their history, or even a harsh critic, I do appreciate a well written cook book. I have checked this book out several times from the library, and I love it every time. Sometimes I don’t even get around to making anything, I just read through it. It is beautifully written and not only has rich beautiful recipes but it also has rich and beautiful histories. It is quite heavy so if you’re going to get yourself one, be prepared! I really love trying different foods from different places, and if you just have a craving for wonderful and authentic Spanish food then this book is for you.
