Cinnamon Brown Sugar Croissants

Cinnamon Brown Sugar Croissants I’m always looking for delicious and easy things to do with Pillsbury Crescent Rolls.  It’s always worth it, if you have the time, to make dough for things like cinnamon rolls and bread from scratch, in my opinion.  But some days, you just need something delicious and easy that you can… Continue reading Cinnamon Brown Sugar Croissants

Hot Chocolate with Frozen Homemade Whipped Cream

Hot chocolate with frozen homemade whipped cream Fact:  I am a whipped cream snob.  I do not EVER buy whipped cream out of a can.  I have a Kitchenaid mixer, and I know how to use it.  So why would I consume subpar whipped cream?  Making your own is the same price, and soooo much… Continue reading Hot Chocolate with Frozen Homemade Whipped Cream

Cream Cheese Breakfast Danish

Homemade Cream Cheese Danish Confession: I’m not usually a fan of Danishes.  That said, I am six months pregnant, and while standing in Starbucks yesterday afternoon, I was overcome with desire for a cheese danish.  I have no idea why.  It just looked so delicious, but I couldn’t bring myself to pay almost $2.00 for… Continue reading Cream Cheese Breakfast Danish

Cheesecake Swirl Pumpkin Bread

Cheesecake Swirl Pumpkin Bread Oh. Em. Gee. I will never make plain old boring pumpkin bread again. Today, I reached a new level of deliciousness in making pumpkin bread.  I used my normal pumpkin pie spiced pumpkin bread recipe, but I turned it up a notch by swirling a delicious cream cheese swirl throughout the… Continue reading Cheesecake Swirl Pumpkin Bread
