Cinnamon Bun Cake

I have made this several times and I'm making it again today to take to the beach house. We are having about 10 people this weekend so this will be around for them to snack on. I never make the frosting. I think the cake is sugary enough. I always use chopped walnuts in my cinnamon mixture.

Kelsey's Pub and Restaurant Thanksgiving

Kelsey's was one of the few places selling a Thanksgiving for 2 and it was only $75. It came with turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing with sausage, green bean casserole gravy, cranberry sauce, and rolls with a honey butter. I ordered an additional apple pie too. It was a perfect amount and I managed to get everything reheated ready to eat in 1 hour.
