"These Cinnamon Rolls are unique because they have molasses in them to give them a gingerbread flavor. They are from the Dec, 2009 issue of BH&G and are a Prize Tested Recipe from Torie Christensen. I can't wait to try them! Preparation time includes time for bread to rise."

I love to cook, but with two daughters with busy schedules, I'm looking for quick and easy recipes that don't taste quick and easy. My husband is in the Army, so our travels have taken us around Europe and to Australia, as well as to many places here in the U.S. My cooking tastes reflects the foods we've enjoyed in the places we've lived. <img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/kiwidutch/my3chefs2009final-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Ingredients/BANNERS/BellywarmersSTKR.jpg"> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif"> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg">
