In case you missed it, cereal milk is becoming a fairly popular thing. You know what I’m talking about, the milk that’s leftover in the bowl after enjoying cereal. It’s got little bits of cereal in it and is slightly sweetened and flavored by the cereal of choice. Yum…
When I decided on cinnamon rolls for breakfast, I looked through the pantry and saw some fruity cereal sitting there, waiting to be used. I knew exactly what to do. Milk and cereal cinnamon rolls!…
Cinnamon Toast Crunch Banana Bread
This banana bread is jazzed up with cinnamon and sugar and topped off with a crispy crunchy crumb that is out of this world delicious - if I do say so myself. The idea for this banana bread is actually based on the cinnamon toast cereal that we all know and love. I’ve had a box stocked away in my pantry for some time now since my daughter suddenly decided after a week of eating it that she now doesn’t like it.
So, what do you do to use up cereal? You use it in a crumb topping for banana bread, of course! And let me just say, this banana bread is the perfect combination of the two. A tasty banana bread and cinnamon cereal all in one bite together. The best of both worlds!…
Read MoreCookies & Cream Cinnamon Rolls
These homemade cinnamon rolls are as a delicious take on combining two things I love. Cinnamon rolls and chocolate sandwich cookies! Now, I’ll be the first to admit that the cinnamon roll turning brown-brown wasn’t my initial plan. I thought with adding some of the crushed up cookie bits that the dough would end up flecked with cookies. Instead it just gave it a light brown tinge and a light chocolate taste.
In the end, I was happy with it for the flavor if nothing else…
Read MoreLemon Pudding Cake
If you’ve never had a lemon pudding cake, you don’t know what you’re missing. It’s basically a lemon cobbler; delicious scratch made lemon pudding as the base with a homemade lemon cake batter on top that bakes to a gooey lemon dessert that is as sweet as it is sassy.
I lightened this tasty lemon treat up by subbing a lot of the sugar for natural sweetener. I like to use a cup-for-cup stevia based sweetener, but any sort you favor should work just fine. The unsweetened almond milk is also a good milk alternative for baking since it saves calories and comes out tasting great…
Read MorePull-Apart Pizza Bread (Bread Machine)
I was able to get my hands on some more yeast, and being as we’re still being careful with the ‘when and how often’ we’re leaving the house… I’m getting a lot of use out of my bread machine. In this house, we have a few things that are in the general rotation for dinners. On Tuesdays we eat tacos. On Saturday I like to make vegetarian sushi. And on Fridays? We like to eat pizza!
To keep things a little different, I thought I would use my idea from a few weeks ago for pull-apart bread, but turn it into pizza bread! So instead of butter and garlic, I loaded the layers of bread up with plenty of sauce, cheese, and our favorite pizza toppings…
Read MoreCherry Pop-Tart Bundt Cake
Another day, another dessert! This sweet treat is a nod to Cherry Pop-Tarts with it’s light pink frosting, red sugar sprinkles, and cherry filling. It’s truly one of the most delicious cherry cakes that I’ve ever put in my mouth. And that’s saying a lot!
While this cake is perfect as a dessert, it could also be enjoyed for breakfast. How do I know that? It’s what I had today for breakfast. Since it’s in the shape of a bundt… that makes it technically like a coffee cake, right? Sure. Let’s go with that…
