Cookies just don’t get more simple than this. Not only is this Oatmeal Raisin Skillet Cookie baked in a skillet, it’s whipped up all in one bowl. That means a whole lot less dirty dishes to deal with, and a whole lot more time to spend enjoying this delicious cookie. And let’s face it, saving time and energy at the end of the school year is VITAL.

This oatmeal cookie has all the goodness of any oatmeal cookie, and none of the guilt. I mean, how can you feel guilty about eating oatmeal and raisins?…

Fresh Strawberry Bundt Cake

This Fresh Strawberry Bundt Cake takes the cake. Seriously! This cake is DELICIOUS if I do say so myself. It is jam packed FULL of yummy strawberry flavor and nothing about it is artificial or out of a box, which makes it EVEN BETTER.

The secret is in the sauce. To start this cake off right, you put a whole pint of strawberries to cook down into an amazing sauce. On top of that, you throw some freeze dried strawberries into the batter and the end result is a perfectly guilt free and AMAZING strawberry cake…

Skinny Cranberry Cherry Cinnamon Rolls

There’s nothing quite like waking to homemade cinnamon rolls. They’re truly one of my favorite breakfast items. Soft, fluffy, sweet, and once you get the hang of it - they’re fairly simple to make too! These Skinny Cranberry Cherry Cinnamon Rolls really take the cake, especially around Fall and Winter when cranberries are all the rage.

I based these sweet rolls off of my fave holiday pie, which happens to be a Cranberry Cherry Pie. The mix of cranberries and cherries is hard to beat. It’s sweet with the cherries and also has some tang to it with the natural tartness of cranberries being added…

PBJ Banana Bread

Move over plain jane banana bread! There’s a new banana bread in town, and it goes by PBJ. That’s right, this banana bread is made with creamy peanut butter, crunchy peanuts, and a swirl of strawberry jam. It’s like banana bread and a PBJ had a baby! Who says you can’t have a PBJ for breakfast?

For being loaded up with all the PBJ favorites, this banana bread is made better-for-you in the best of ways! All of the sugar has been subbed out for natural sweetener, and half of the oil was swapped for an unsweetened apple sauce. Don’t worry though! Even with those minor adjustments, this bread turns out a-mazing!…

French Bread

I’ve been doing a lot of baking lately. Especially now that I got ALL NEW appliances in my kitchen finally! I’ve been waiting to do it for years and years now and I finally was able to do so. Between that, limiting trips to the store, and having my hands on a handy-dandy bread maker, I’ve been a bread making fool!

This French Bread is simple. It’s as standard as bread comes and is made with just a handful of pantry staple ingredients. Flour, oil, salt, sugar, yeast, that’s pretty much all there is to it. I have to say, even if you don’t have a bread machine, this bread is still pretty easy to make and will easily rival any fresh bakery bread…

Milk & Cereal Cinnamon Rolls

June 12, 2020 Amanda Plott

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!…
