The Best Rituals Involve BREAD

I have moved a lot over the last couple of years. It is ridiculous and I won’t even tell you the actual number. This is not because I do not know. It is because I am choosing to not remember the number. Some things are best not counted up.

Every time I move I had a ritual to make the house feel like home. When I moved into my first house I made Katie Brown’s cinnamon bread. I have an old print out with egg and water crusted hardness that gives it character. Even with all the moves, I still have that piece of paper. The ingredients are simple, but I love the cinnamon that Pampered Chef sells. I do think it is the best and the strongest tasting.

There is nothing that smells better than baking bread in the oven, especially cinnamon. It clings to the air in the house and makes it feel cozy.

This recipe is easy and does not require too many ingredients. I will warn you I put in about 4 times the cinnamon in my version so if you come over for coffee and bread you have been warned.

What rituals do you have for moving into a new space?
