Sweet Potato Cinnamon Rolls

Sweet Potato Cinnamon Rolls This is part of a sponsored campaign with #GladeForFall and #CollectiveBias. All text and recipe are mine.

When Autumn arrives, here in Houston, we transition from sweltering heat to a tolerable one, and finally, the breeze is back! … the days are still long and warm and with my family, we always hit the road to visit some of the little old Texas towns around us and enjoy the beauty of the countryside.

I love relaxing trips, our only goal is generally just to walk the main street and browse the stores and eat at local diners and feel the wind and smells of fall. The breeze is so missed during our wet and sticky summers. Glade® Limited Edition Fall Collection new fragrance Hit the Road™ is full of these qualities: fresh and relaxing. Nothing more delicious for the days we are home working or studying, it’s the perfect reminder of the trips past and to come.

Glade Hit the RoadSometimes, on our trips, we have breakfast on the way, but more often we eat at home before leaving and one of the perennial favorites are these sweet potato cinnamon rolls. Tender and not too sweet, they are a classic on our family since with the fall also comes the time to harvest the sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes grow wonderfully in Houston; they are definitely my favorite summer crop and ground cover. At first you have to help a little with some weeding, but once it kicks off, it will cover the entire raised bed and protects the soil from the sun excellently. And it gives us a nice harvest, what more could you ask for? My favorite variety for Houston is Beauregard.
