Butter Butter Cinnamon Chip Cake

I have seen, oh, hundreds of recipes on Pinterest over the past few years using a mysterious ingredient called a cinnamon chip.  I have hunted, oh yes, I have hunted for these babies at every regular grocery store in the world.  At Target.  At Walmart.  At Michaels and Joanns, and every single baking specialty store.… Continue reading Butter Butter Cinnamon Chip Cake

Teddy Bear Toast

  Shortest blog post ever, because this is not a recipe.  Just an idea I saw on Pinterest.  Toast.  Cream Cheese or Peanut Butter, or even Nutella.  Bananas.  Chocolate chips, raisins, or blueberries.  My kids had a blast eating these.  Thanks, Pinterest!
