Cinnamon Roll Pull Apart

You all know I have a love affair with cinnamon rolls.  I’m constantly trying to find new and different things to do with them.  My go-to is my homemade Clone of a Cinnabon recipe.  Honestly, it can’t be beat- but it’s time consuming.  It is at least a two hour process. This recipe, however, is… Continue reading Cinnamon Roll Pull Apart

Blueberry Zucchini Breakfast Cake

Charlie, my 3 year old son, is obsessed with the color “dark blue.”  He has taken the ‘favorite color’ thing to a whole new level. When he’s pretending to be a superhero, and I ask “Oh, are you Super Charlie?” he replies “No! I’m Dark Blue Charlie!”  He has three pair of dark blue underpants,… Continue reading Blueberry Zucchini Breakfast Cake

Gluten-Free, Healthy Banana Breakfast Muffins – Kid Approved!

I recently watched a documentary called Fed Up, which is basically about the evils of added sugar in foods.  If you haven’t watched it, you should.  It’s free on Netflix, and $3.99 on Amazon instant video.  I am not giving up sugar, but it was eye opening to me to see how much hidden added… Continue reading Gluten-Free, Healthy Banana Breakfast Muffins – Kid Approved!

Easter Bunny Pancakes. Simple Pleasures.

Easter is kind of a big deal around here.  Since we do a brunch over at my sister-in-law’s house on Easter morning, and… Continue reading Easter Bunny Pancakes. Simple Pleasures.

I’ve been thinking of adding a Hot Cross Buns recipe to my blog around Easter time for years, but one thing has stopped me: Made the traditional way, I just don’t really like them. My family is mostly English and Irish.  The English are some of my favorite people.  They have delightful accents, but are not necessarily… Continue reading Hot Cross Buns (tasty ones)

Petite Banana Bread Scones with Butter Brown Sugar Glaze

I was supposed to have a busy day today, running back and forth between ballet class and the library, and the grocery store.  Plans were thwarted, however (of course after I set an early alarm and got up and got three kids ready to leave- because, doesn’t it always go that way?) by a sick five… Continue reading Petite Banana Bread Scones with Butter Brown Sugar Glaze

Starbucks Iced Lemon Pound Cake

I don’t like to admit this anyplace where my husband can read it, but I have a real, serious, (read: expensive) Starbucks addiction.  I go there on the daily.  To the point that when we pull up into the drive through, my kids start hollering requests from the back seat for “pink do-duts,” “banilla bean scones,”… Continue reading Starbucks Iced Lemon Pound Cake
