I've had a go-to pancake recipe for a while that I love. My kids gobble them up, they come together quickly and I make dozens of batches thru the year. Today I was pondering what to do for dinner and (thanks to a breakfast for other meals conversation I had earlier in the day) I… Continue reading America’s Test & Piggy’s Parlor Buttermilk Pancakes

Raspberry Pain au Chocolat

Everything sounds better when you say it in French. In English this recipes is just Raspberry Chocolate Croissants. Yeah. I like the French version way more too.

Clone of a Cinnabon

I used to love Cinnabon. Really, I still do. I just can't afford them anymore. Financially or physically. For a playoff Sunday of football, I figured I could make an exception. At least on the physical part. These are exactly like the real thing - and a dozen don't cost anywhere CLOSE to $30. Best… Continue reading Clone of a Cinnabon

Lemon Pancakes

My Auntie Julie used to make lemon pancakes when I was little. I always loved having breakfast over there. I asked her a while back what she did to make them so delicious and she laughed and told me it's just basic pancakes thinned out topped with lemon and powdered sugar. So, yesterday when making… Continue reading Lemon Pancakes
