A few weeks ago I shared how my family likes to make weekend breakfast special. Starting the day together over breakfast is so nice, and something we don’t always get to do during the busy week. Weekends are a time to kick back and relax. I’m glad to partner with Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls once again, to elaborate on that earlier blog post and share ways to kick back, relax and enjoy the weekend.
Eat meals together.
I spent the better part of last week traveling and got home late Saturday night. The last thing I wanted to do on Sunday morning was make a big fuss over breakfast. Fortunately, I usually have some help in the kitchen on the weekends.
Enlisting the kids to help with mealtime preparation is a great way to have family time and lighten your workload in the process. Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls are so fun for kids to make.
Eating meals together on the weekend is so important for my family.
Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls are often at the heart of weekend breakfast. From the delicious icing on top, to the Cinnabon cinnamon and the ooey, gooey center – cinnamon rolls are the ultimate weekend breakfast indulgence. I love how they fill the house with the instantly recognizable sweet smell of cinnamon as they bake.
Doesn’t this look like a great to start the weekend?
Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls are something I always have on hand. They are great whether you have a busy day ahead or just want something a little extra special for breakfast.
I can never resist licking my fingers after eating one of these. That glaze topping is the best!
Here are some more ideas to help you kick back and relax on the weekend:
Have a Netflix marathon or pull out your favorite Disney DVDs.
I chatted with my sister briefly this past Saturday and learned that she and her son were snuggled up on the couch having a Netflix marathon. Sometimes that is the perfect way to spend the day after a long, hard week.
Get some extra snuggle time in the morning.
Speaking of snuggling, grabbing the family and staying in bed for some extra snuggle time is the perfect way to kick off the weekend. Those hugs and giggles are good for the soul.
Turn off all electronics.
If a Netflix marathon isn’t your thing, try turning off all electronics for the day. Spend that time playing board games, crafting and having fun outdoors. You can really be present in the moment without the distraction of your mobile phone and laptop.
Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls are available nationwide in major grocery and retail stores. For more information, visit the Pillsbury website, Pillsbury on Facebook and @Pillsbury on Instagram and Twitter.
How do you like to kick back, relax and enjoy the weekend?
Twitter Party Alert!
Please make plans to join us on October 27th at 2 p.m. EST for a Twitter party with Pillsbury and The Motherhood to discuss weekend breakfasts, your family traditions and more! I’m looking forward to chatting with everyone.
These look good. I remember enjoying these on Sunday afternoons when I was a kid.
Those do look good! That’s a good idea to turn off electronics for the day and spend some time doing something together as a family.
I used to make these when I was a teen/twenty-something…thank you for sharing this post with us….
We had a family reunion this past weekend- we did a picnic in the park with some great food and spent time at an apple orchard! What a way to spend the weekend!
Cooking with kids is fun for everyone. My daughter made a thriving business out of it in NYC.
We love these Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls! They taste so good and are fun to make with my daughter and son. We have fun making dishes on the weekend!
We love Pillsbury cinnamon rolls! They are perfect for weekend breakfast or even breakfast for dinner.
We make cinnamon rolls all the time. They are soooo good warm from the oven.
Thanks for s haring this, this looks like a fun way to spend the weekend with my teen daughter.

We like to have these for breakfast occasionally too! They are so sweet and gooey, we just love them!
What some fantastic ideas and I am all for cinnamon rolls they are so delicious. x
Well you have to start with some cinnamon rolls for sure! I’m loving the Netflix marathon idea too!
I need to add cinnamon rolls into our weekend. I haven’t had them in so long, and even though I’m not sure my kiddos will love them – I do, so more for me!
We try to eat together as often as possible. We eat cinnamon rolls almost every weekend.
Those all sound like pretty great ideas if you ask me!
That looks so good! My kids love to help me in the kitchen when I’m baking.
I’ve never made cinnamon rolls before. I enjoy eating them though 😛
I will be using a few of these – Cinnamon Rolls and a Netflix marathon! For the next few weeks however we are working to install a generator so weekends we work overtime!
Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls are my husband’s favorite. They are so easy to make and we love having them for special treats on Sunday mornings while we gear up to watch football.
I never thought about making these for breakfast my girls would love it.
I’ve been making scones and biscuits for breakfast, but haven’t tried rolls. These look soo good, I must try them, what a nice way to start your day.
These are great ideas for weekend relaxation. I agree that the electronics need to be shut off as well.
We always have Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls in the fridge. We have a big sweet tooth and these are so easy to make. My kids love making them.
I love relaxing on the weekends. I like to make Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls on Sundays for brunch. They are so delicious and simple to make.
What a nice way to relax. Would love to use this idea for myself
Putting the twitter party on my calendar. Sounds like it will be a lot of fun. I love Pillsbury and Netflix! mmmmm Cinnamon Rolls!
These cinnamon rolls are so delicious and great for enjoying on the weekend with the family. My boys love to make them with me.
Cinnamon Rolls are amazing. My daughter loves them like nothing else! They make breakfast special.
Tasty.
Weekends here include bacon, cinnamon rolls and lots of movies. It’s the best way to relax as a family.
Great ideas for relaxing on the weekends. Making cinnamon rolls is a great way to start off the day!
This sounds like a really warm relaxing way to spend the weekend,t hanks for the suggestion!
Mmm, cinnamon rolls! I like to lay in bed and watch movies on the weekend.
Usually on the weekends, hubby and relax watching football, then we cook together. We pick out a new recipe, have some wine, turn up the music and have fun! 🙂
We actually have some of these in our refrigerator. My daughter is having a friend over later, maybe we’ll make these. 🙂
Those look awesome they are making me hungry.
We love cinnamon roll ANYTIME DAY OR NIGHT.
It is so important to make time together as a family a priority, and I’m glad you are showing how easy it is to do this with weekend breakfast!
One thing I do is cook bacon on Friday night ( look up cooking bacon in the oven for a painless way to do so). THen on Saturday morning all I have to do is fry some eggs, warm the bacon and serve with fresh fruit.
It always gets the weekend off to a good start.
These look great right now. I think i will relax with a good book and some of these tonight.
I make these all the time for a weekend breakfast. We love them here.
My family also watches movies on weekends together. Have always loved the Cinnamon Rolls.
We love cinnamon rolls at our house, especially on a cold winter day!
This looks so yummy!
Such great ideas! Those cinnamon rolls look oh so yummy!
