Breakfast can get boring easily. At least for me. I'm not a morning person. Actually, I'm currently blogging at 2am - so that should tell you something of my preference between day and night. Also, should make you cut me some slack if anything in this post makes no sense. Since I don't drink coffee,… Continue reading Apple Raisin Breakfast Bread

Apple Pancake Rings
My kids love pancakes. I love pancakes. But I also want to give a little more nutrition at breakfast than what is essentially all doughy bready goodness...dipped in sugar. So when I saw this recipe, I thought I'd give it a try. My kids picked the cinnamon pancake from around the apples. Epic Mommy fail.… Continue reading Apple Pancake Rings
Lemon Monkey Bread
Every monkey bread recipe I've ever seen is made with butter and brown sugar resulting in a caramel covered pull apart bread. This recipe intrigued me because of its main ingredient. Lemon. Lemon? Yes indeed. It is a bright fresh citrus bread drizzled with butter, lemony sugar and a sweet glaze. Lemon is so vibrant… Continue reading Lemon Monkey Bread
Ridiculously Easy Homemade Doughnuts
Or, donuts...if you prefer it that way. Whichever way you like, these are amazingly good. They quite possibly belong atop my ease/deliciousness chart. Whenever I make something, I mentally rate it on a scale of how simple or difficult the recipe is versus how delicious the food turns out. No, I'm not OCD enough to… Continue reading Ridiculously Easy Homemade Doughnuts

Streusel Topped Coffee Cake Muffins
Is it wrong to use Paula Dean cupcake holders when making a Martha Stewart recipe? I hope not. Cause if these coffee cake muffins are wrong, I don't want to be right. Coffee cake is superb in general, but individualized servings in a sweet cupcake wrapper is just downright evil. Resistance is futile when you… Continue reading Streusel Topped Coffee Cake Muffins
Cranberry Orange Loaf
Why is it things called "loaf" are usually disgusting? Pimento loaf? Olive loaf? <shudder> Those hunks of oddly studded meat at the deli give me the heebie-jeebies. Today I made a loaf of deliciousness that is completely un-gross. Actually, it is exquisite. Beautifully flavored with slightly sweet orange and temptingly tart cranberries, this gorgeous bread… Continue reading Cranberry Orange Loaf
Cinnamon Roll Cookies
I love good cinnamon rolls. So it only stands to reason that I'd equally adore a cookie made in the image and likeness of my favorite sticky bun. However, I had no clue how much these adorable little cookies would strike my fancy. Like a flat cinnamon roll, without the guilt of eating a pastry… Continue reading Cinnamon Roll Cookies

Homemade Pop Tarts
Are you ready for a truly horrifying confession? Here it comes. Brace yourself. I have never eaten a pop tart. Never. <GASP!> Oh the humanity!! Now I suppose people of a certain age who all had mothers vacuuming in pearls and cooking 6 hour roasts for dinner every week will not find this shocking. But… Continue reading Homemade Pop Tarts
