Quick&Easy Cinnamon Bread

While Mountain Man was busy whipping up scrambled eggs, bacon and fried mashed potato fritters, I quickly threw together a Cinnamon Bread that I found in the Allrecipes Tried and True Favorites: top 300 recipes. It was somewhat on a whim, but proved a nice addition to the hearty breakfast we would be having.

I'll be keeping this post short and sweet because MM and I have a lot to do this afternoon.. We recently found a house to rent (that just happens to be on the lake!) and although we're not moving in until October, we have a lot of furniture shopping to do. Plus it's the weekend so I don't want to hold you up reading a post when you should be enjoying your time off.

Oh and for those of you on Twitter you can now stay up to date with recipes and little tweets by me :) follow me @sweetebakes. Shoot me a hello, give me a shout out, whatever you do...I'd love to hear from you!

And HAPPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!! 

Can't wait to see you next weekend :)
