Skinny Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls

March 13, 2020 Amanda Plott

Welp. With my kids school being on extended Spring Break for at least another week, I thought I would spend some time baking. These Skinny Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls were pretty much at the top of the list to make because… It’s strawberry season and who can say no to a homemade cinnamon roll of any kind?

These Skinny Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls are scratch made with a lightly sweetened cake and a quick and easy strawberry filling. Over the top is a lightened up cream cheese drizzle that really takes these sweet bites of heaven to the next level…

BAYF (Big as your Face) Breakfast Burrito

March 10, 2020 Amanda Plott

As it states, this is a BIG breakfast burrito. It’s as big as your face! So big in fact, you may just want to share it with someone! This breakfast burrito has all the traditional breakfast burrito favorites like: bacon, eggs, cheese, peppers, and of course even some avocado.

It’s not rolled up in the traditional tortilla though. No, this breakfast burrito is wrapped up in a more health conscious sheet of lavash bread. Less calories, great flavor, and it holds up really well to being used for a wrap!…

Rainbow Unicorn Swiss Roll

I realized that it had been a hot minute since I made any sort of unicorn inspired recipe, so… I had to fix that today. When I said I was going to keep things fun and bright during Spring Break here, I wasn’t kidding! This Rainbow Unicorn Swiss Roll is as delicious as it is pretty.

This is a vanilla based cake that’s colored in the best of ways and rolled up with a lightly sweetened cream cheese filling. It’s great as a sweet breakfast option, brunch, or even as dessert. Really there wouldn’t be any bad time of day to have rainbow amazingness in your life…

Berry & Cream Cheese Danishes

February 24, 2020 Amanda Plott

While I’m not big on sweets anymore, if I’m going to have sweets, I want them in the morning usually. And what’s better as a sweet in the morning than a pastry? And at that… a danish? Mm… I have always had a love for danishes. Something about the mixture of soft flaky pastry dough, cream cheese, and fruit just seems like the perfect combination.

The problem with most danishes out there? Super high in calories and sugar! That’s why I decided to try my hand at making my own. And let me just tell you, these are so crazy simple to make, that they may just become a family staple!…

Pink Princess Cinnamon Rolls

February 10, 2020 Amanda Plott

I’ve been playing around a lot lately with my new replacement bread machine. I didn’t realize how much I missed having one until I got a new one. One of my favorite things to make in a bread machine is homemade cinnamon rolls. I love that the machine does most of the work for me when it comes to the dough.

These pink princess cinnamon rolls were made with a specific purpose and reason. For my little princess. Okay… she’s not so little anymore. But, a few years back she ended up getting sick on cinnamon rolls and has since turned her nose up at them. And being as they used to be one of her weekly staples… I thought I’d try to make these beauties to try and suede her back over to the cinnamon roll loving side of things…

Whole Wheat English Muffins

February 4, 2020 Amanda Plott

Several years ago I had a bread machine. It was big and bulky and took up a LOT of my kitchen space… which let me just tell you, its REALLY limited as it is. After it’s fair share of use, the bread machine started to act up and, long story short, I ended up getting rid of it.

Over the last year or so, I’ve had the desire to get another bread machine. There’s just something truly satisfying about making your own bread and being able to take charge of what’s in it and how it’s flavored. So, I bit the bullet and got a new one! It’s a lot more quiet and significantly smaller than the old one. The first thing on my list to make? Homemade whole wheat english muffins, of course!…
