How to make Cinnamon Butter

Guys have it so easy when it comes to traveling haha. We’re getting ready for vacation and I have a list that’s about a mile long and full of things that I have to get done before we leave and BigBear is just all like “all I need to do it throw some clothes in a bag and I’m ready.”

The curses of being a girl. I’ve got hair appointments, nail appointment, I still haven’t found a dress to wear the day I’ll be at the conference (yep this a work and play kinda of trip) and I haven’t even started the process of even attempting to figure out that I’m going to pack.

I’d really love to just skip the next few days and just jump right into vacation mode! Will that work? Please?

Yeah, I didn’t think so either.

Anyways, let’s move on. haha 😉

So today’s recipe/post is brought you to you by my need to travel down memory lane and our love of bread and butter. You’re welcome. 😉

When BigBear and I started dating, I worked as a waitress at Rock-ola. I know I’ve talked about waiting tables there in a few posts and for this one I made my very own version of their famous Cinnamon Butter.

At Rock-Ola,we had the softest bread rolls ever (unless the cooks forgot to take them out of the oven, oops haha) and the most amazing Cinnamon Butter to pair them with!

Bread and Cinnamon Butter was the main thing on everyone’s mind when they sat down at their table and most of the time they were asking for Cinnamon Butter and bread before you could even introduce yourself.

So, yes. If you ever asked for “MORE BREAD with that cinnamon butter”, or blurted out that you needed “some of those rolls and some of that butter” before I could say “Hello”,  I can bet you money that in my mind I was smacking you in the forehead with that free bread and cinnamon butter” — over and over and over. 🙂 Just so you know. 🙂

We had some people that would go through two or three plates of bread before they got their food.

Since Rock-ola closed a few years ago I just can’t seem to find my Rock-Ola favorites anywhere else and I miss them a lot!

Since I was working on making some compound butters the other weekend I thought I’d give the famous Cinnamon Butter a try. Oh and it was perfect with these warm rolls!

Hello Memory Lane!

Easy to make and just as addictive and the butter I remember.

It might not be exactly the same as Rock-Ola’s legendary Cinnamon Butter but it’s as close as I can get and I’ll take it!

    I’ve never had Rock-Ola’s butter, but yours looks just right to me!! Especially melting on that hot roll. I know, guys do have it so easy when it comes to packing. My hubs pulls out his suitcase the night before and puts his clothes together in minutes. I need weeks to think it all out….and forget all the rest of the planning;)

    I love it when a bite of something can send me barreling back to the past! And I love me some cinnamon honey butter, too – but I don’t make it often, lest I eat it all in a very short amount of time. Now, pass me a couple of warm rolls and that jar, please.

    This looks amazing! Sweet butter, yum! I waited tables for a while too, and every restaurant had their “thing” I worked at. I won’t miss the all you can eat crab leg buffet place. I stunk of crab for nearly a year. And they had security cameras in the wait stations so we didn’t eat off customers plates. My gosh, who would do that?

    I’m with you…I’m so stressed out about what to wear. But omg I can’t wait for some nicer weather!!

    We’re huge fans of bread and butter, too. I grew up eating toast sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar, but never thought to mix it into the butter like this. Great recipe!

    I hope you’ll have fun at the conference! I’m with your husband. I just throw some clothes in a bag and leave. I do shower beforehand. That’s about it. 😀

    And cinnamon butter?! I didn’t even know that was a thing. It looks great!

    I’m going down to Florida on Sunday for a cruise and I’m beyond stressed about what to wear. I have bought so many new clothes you would think I’m rich…haha. {Spoiler alert – I’m not…lol} In other words, I feel your pain. Now, this butter? I want to put it on EVERYTHING! I wish I had some for my morning English muffin.

    We could be those people who go through 3 baskets of bread and cinnamon butter even before our entrees arrive. I need to make this cinnamon butter. I can only imagine how good it is on pancakes and waffles, too!
