Post a recipe on your blog, sign the linky on either blog (they will be linked), grab our new button - isn't she cute - hubby says she looks like me... TeeHee? (above, on my sidebar and on my Co-Chef Dolly's blog) and check out the recipes. Don't forget that each week you actually will be getting at least TWO for the price of ONE because both Dolly and I will post a recipe on each of our blogs. How simple is that??

Cinnabon Cinnamon Swirl Bread

I usually like to make things from scratch, but this box mix is just SO good that it's not worth the effort to make it from scratch. All the ingredients are in separate packages and all you need to add are eggs, water and oil.


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F; spray 8" or 9" loaf pan with cooking spray.

Add the oil, water, and eggs to the bread mix and mix well (I used whisk first to break up any lumps); then sprinkle Cinnabon cinnamon mixture on top of bread mix and stir into bread mixture about 7 times until swirled into bread mixture - DO NOT MIX COMPLETELY.




Spread mixture into prepared pan.



Sprinkle brown sugar crumb mixture on top of bread. Bake in oven for 50 - 60 minutes until toothpick inserted into center of bread comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 15 min. the remove and let cool on rack for at least 30 minutes; after massaging glaze packet 15-30 seconds, cut the corner off and drizzle over top of cake.

Slice and serve warm...  I couldn't believe that this got 6 out of 6 puppy tail wags - they all loved everything about it, especially the glaze on top. Bill and I loved it, too, it was gone in two days.

So now all you have to do is sign our linky so we all can find your recipes. You check out all ours and we will check out all yours. If you don't want to write it all down and you know of one on line just post a link to it on your blog or leave it in a comment if you prefer!
