Quick Sour Cream Cinnamon Rolls
Boy, has it been a LONG week … For the second time in three weeks I have gone AWOL, and I am sorry for that. I was hoping that after my last bout of family related drama things would quiet down, but it was not to be. Last week my father was feeling a little funny, and his blood pressure was pretty high, so he went to the hospital.

While looking at some apples in the market I noticed carrots on sale also, and inspiration struck! Why not combine the two?
