Recipe - Cinnamon Rolls

We had a snow day today (call it a butt ugly freezing cold day). So, I made these cinnamon rolls for breakfast. I used my bread machine to make the dough, first time I've made them in the 16 years I've had my machine.

They were quite tasty and delicious with a cup of coffee.

Cinnamon Rolls

2 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg, optional

1/2 c. Chopped nuts, optional

Roll dough into rectangle, about 10x15 inches.
