Whole Wheat Bread Machine Breadsticks

February 17, 2020 Amanda Plott

Back when I first got my original bread machine, one of my favorite things to make with it was homemade breadsticks. They always turned out pretty damn great. Light, fluffy, and delicious. Way better than the pre-made dough you can get at the store in a can. Then again, almost anything homemade is better than pre-packaged.

These Whole Wheat Bread Machine Breadsticks are super simple to make and takes very little in the way of ‘hands on’ time. The bread machine does the lot of the work. All you have to do is roll the dough out and bake. Easy enough though, right?…

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…

Air Fryer Potato Chips

So, the air fryer has quickly become one of the most used gadgets in my kitchen lately. It’s not only a time saver when it comes to crispy-crunchy bites that I normally bake, but it’s also fun to play with and tends to get my usual faux fried things even more of the faux fried texture and taste!

These Air Fryer Potato Chips are no different. They’re made with just THREE ingredients and all of 30 minutes of cook time. The best part is that they are SO much better for you than the ones you buy at the store. Why? No preservatives and like I said… THREE ingredients. You can’t beat that!…

Baked Strawberry Donuts

I’ve been wanting to make some donuts again for a good long while now, and while the day ahead is going to be crazy busy - I took the time this morning to whip up these delicious Baked Strawberry Donuts! To really back in the strawberry goodness, I took out all the stops. The cake part of the donut has a homemade strawberry puree mixed right in. And the frosting? Ooooh… the frosting.

The frosting is made with freeze-dried strawberries and is LOADED with strawberry flavor. The secret is in the dried strawberries, I swear! I decided to finish the donuts off with some sweet little heart shaped sprinkles annnd… as you can see, they’re pretty damn cute!…

Whole Wheat Blueberry Sheet Pancakes

Feeding a crowd in the morning can be… tricky. Especially if everyone is wanting pancakes. While pancakes are a staple breakfast food, they aren’t exactly ideal when it comes to feeding a family when you wall want to sit down and enjoy a meal together. That’s where these Whole Wheat Blueberry Sheet Pancakes come in!

Sheet pancakes are super simple to make, and the best part is that everyone can enjoy them fresh, warm, and at the same time together. Never mind that pancakes bake themselves and you don’t have to hover over the stove for nearly an hour just to make sure you don’t under or over cook each pancake…

Skinny Chunky Monkey Cookies

If you’re a fan of ice cream then obviously you’ll understand the name of this cookie. I based these sweet little bites off of one of my most favorite ice cream flavors. Chunky Monkey! Just like the name states, these cookies banana based cookies are… well… chunky! How? They’re loaded up with dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.

The best part? These cookies are guilt-free enough that they could even work as a breakfast cookie. Seriously. Pair one with some fruit and you have a fun and tasty cookie for breakfast! Even better, they’re vegetarian and egg-free. ..
