Cinnamon Roll Muffins

I have skills.  One of them is the uncanny ability to break off large portions of my teeth at the precise moment that my dentist office closes for the weekend AND when travel of town. 🤦🏻‍♀️  This has happened to me on more than one occasion and although I had the option of calling the dental emergency number when it happened to me again last month, I deemed my broken molar a non-emergency situation and powered through until I could get an appointment to see the dentist. 🤣

I have come up with my own coping techniques for when these unfortunate dental situations pop up.  Even though I can't eat normally, I discovered relatively quickly that room temperature red wine and melted chocolate is the most gentle (and delicious) sustenance for my sensitive tooth with exposed nerves. 🍷🍫 And a weekend of chocolate and wine proved to be the pretty great.  I wasn't mad about it.  🤣  #wineandchocolatetherapy

As far as I was concerned, there was only one flaw with my wine and chocolate plan - neither one appealed to me before noon.😅 Warm, soft, homemade cinnamon rolls to the rescue.  Problem solved.  Wine, chocolate and cinnamon rolls.  Despite my broken tooth - all in all, not a bad weekend. 🦷 😂

Turns out, a full set of functioning teeth is not actually a requirement to fully enjoy homemade cinnamon rolls with creamy, cream cheese frosting. I've never appreciated a soft, warm, cinnamony muffin more in my life but it wasn't just me.  There were a lot of oohs and ahhs from my family as well.
