Everyone. It’s time to meet Red. No, not the color. Red is my brother.
Over time I am sure you will meet all six of my siblings, but today we are talking about Red. He is more commonly known around here as Shred Doggy, Shredman G or Shredeo. Red (Ok, technically his name is Redmond, Redmond Baird Gerard – my parents have a thing for strange, well really odd names) is my 12-year-old superstar of a brother.
Well, he would not call himself a superstar, but in my eyes he’s a Superstar. He does things like front double tens, apparently it’s three spins while doing two flips 30 feet or more in the air. At least that’s what I think a front double ten is, I get pretty confused after the first spin.
I had to go over that last sentence like three times with him. Finally, he got too frustrated and walked away.
He is the most energetic kid you will ever meet. He was just telling me how tired his legs were while spinning himself across the kitchen floor. Even when he is tired, he’s still spinning. He does not stop.
He lives a life that probably any 12-year old boy would love to live. Wait, let me rephrase that, he lives a life that probably anyone would want to live. He travels all over the place. In the last month he has been to Switzerland, Park City, Lake Tahoe, Los Angeles, Big Bear and next it’s back to Park City. He wakes up and pretty much everyday and goes snowboarding. Oh, and he gets boxes and boxes and boxes (seriously, I am not exaggerating) of stuff from Burton, Arnette and a few other sponsors. Yeah, I told you he’s got the life.
Right about now I am guessing you are you asking your self “what about school”? Yup, you guessed it, he is home schooled.
Even though the kid has the life, he works hard. He loves snowboarding, and the attention he gets from magazines and his sponsors has not changed him in the least. He snowboards cause he loves it. He loves flying through air, he loves going fast and he just wants to have fun!
Check him out for yourself. I am not going to lie, it’s kind of amazing. And remember he is only 12.
Ok, switching gears. That was way too much snowboard talk for me, like way too much.
I made you Mini Cinnamon Buns. Oh and I made them in 30 minutes. Yup, 30 minutes! Oh, and I healthified them fo you. So now you can pop like 3 of 4 or maybe even 5 and not feel guilty! I am not going to sit here and tell you that these are better than the real thing, but they way easier and still insanely addicting! Plus, you will not get the sugar comma you probably enter after eating one from the Cinnabon place ate the airport! It’s good to get some whole grain in every once and a while!
Healthy and Quick and insanely Delicious? Yup! I told Asher to leave some for tomorrow and she said “but, these things are so good”.

This is a must try! Looks scrumptious! Karin
These look delicious! I’m going to make them this weekend.
I would like to invite you to link up to my party, Manic Monday. http://cupcake-n-bake.blogspot.com/2013/03/manic-monday-7.html
Hope to see you there!
These are literally so darling! And I love when I can find a recipe that whole wheat!! Definitely pinning for later!
Great to know about other homeschooled kids! Your cinnamon buns are utterly adorable! And I love the whole wheat, too!
How on earth did you get that great pic of the frosting dripping off the spoon? You are so talented! and the buns look yummy..(.”yummie bunnies”)!
Thank you!
Your brother sounds like a great kid, and these buns sound amazing!
Thank you!
He sounds like my daughter. Oh, the energy. I just hope she harnesses it for good instead of evil.
These cinnamon rolls are amazing!
Thanks Dorothy!
I noticed this recipe doesn’t call for yeast. I’ve been looking for a simple recipe. Thanks for sharing!
They look amazing! I need to try these because we love cinnamon rolls, but they take so long to make traditional. I also love that you added whole wheat.
Thanks for the recipe.

Your brother sounds amazing! Good for him. I hope we see him in the Olympics one year! These cinnamon buns? Wow Wee! Thanks for sharing at Show Me Your Plaid Monday’s!
These look amazing. Thanks for the recipe.
over from Flour Me…:)
Love that you used whole wheat pastry flour for these buns. Definitely healthier! And knowing that I don’t have to feel guilty after eating these is great! Thanks!
I only have Whole Wheat Flour, is that different than Whole Wheat Pastry Flour? I’m dying to try this, but don’t want the flour your recommend.
I would recommend using half white flour and half whole wheat flour. Using all whole wheat flour would work, but the cinnamon rolls will be more dense and dry. You can give it a try, but I can not promise the same results. Let me know how it goes! Enjoy!
I mean’t to say I dont “have” the flour you recommend. Sorry
WOW!!! Just watched your brother snowboarding. He is great!!!!!!
It is crazy, I do not know how he does it!
WOW!!!! This sounds easy and more healthy for sure. I am amazed there is no butter or shortening in the dough. I have never made cinnamon rolls without using yeast bread.
I know it is is pretty awesome! I mean I am not going to sit here and tell you they are better than the real thing, but they are really yummy! Especially since they are actually pretty good for you! You would never know, though!
