Homemade Cinnamon Bread {Cinnamon Raisin Bread}

Hey guys, day one million of quarantine here, and I have made eight thousand loaves of homemade bread in the last month, because, what else is there to do right now? In my defense, I couldn’t find the things I take for granted and use all the time, like yeast and flour at the grocery… Continue reading Homemade Cinnamon Bread {Cinnamon Raisin Bread}

Homemade Glazed {and Cinnamon Sugar} Donuts

Homemade donuts are SO much easier to make than you think. My mom always made them with refrigerated biscuit dough on snow days. We’ve been having the most beautiful week of snow here in Seattle. This morning I woke up wanting to make warm donuts with my kids on day 3 of no school, but… Continue reading Homemade Glazed {and Cinnamon Sugar} Donuts

Apple Cranberry Quick Bread

In today’s episode of Diary of a Sick Woman, I confess to you all that I ate, all by myself, (for all intents and purposes,) this entire loaf of bread in under 36 hours. Listen, I’m not proud of it.

A few years ago, I discovered this no knead crusty artisan bread recipe from… Continue reading No Knead Artisan Bread

Easter Cinnamon Rolls

Around here, homemade cinnamon rolls are saved for special occasions.  Holidays or the occasional birthday, if requested.  I usually make them for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day Brunch, sometimes for St. Patrick’s Day, but always, without exception, for Christmas morning and Easter morning. You can, of course, make these a little less festive, if you… Continue reading Easter Cinnamon Rolls

Pumpkin Caramel Monkey Bread

I very rarely make Monkey Bread around here because it is VERY dangerous. Case in point: I just had to try this pumpkin caramel monkey bread yesterday and I legit gained an entire pan in one day, even though I skipped lunch. Traditional lunch, I should say.  I definitely ate my weight in monkey bread… Continue reading Pumpkin Caramel Monkey Bread
