• Cinnamon Roll Bites – Your New Go-To Breakfast

    Cinnamon Roll Bites are the perfect Christmas morning breakfast.  They are quick, easy and bring the wonderful aroma of homemade cinnamon rolls (like these) without all the work. It all starts with Biscuits… These delicious cinnamon roll bites start with canned biscuits.  Yep, you read that right… canned biscuits.  That is what makes this recipe so easy, you cut up canned biscuits.  I used the grands buttermilk biscuits, but you could use whatever you have on hand.   PS…Flaky biscuits would be pretty good I bet. Let’s talk Cinnamon & Sugar (& few little something extras) Growing up I ate A LOT of cinnamon toast and these Cinnamon Roll Bites…

  • A Christmas Tradition

    Christmas is just around the corner and I think I am going to have to make these again.  Don’t be scared…you can do this. It is all about Christmas patience Homemade cinnamon rolls are 1000% better than the canned version, but beware you have to plan ahead.  You need several hours (I started the process the night before) to let the dough proof and get ready to roll up into rolls.    SO what is proofing you ask?  Proofing is when you let the dough rise.  For this dough we are wanting it to rise, or proof, quite a bit.  The goal is at least double from its original size.…

  • KETO Snickerdoodle

    OK y’all I am obsessed with these cookies… like OBSESSED!  Each bit is a little bit sweet with the perfect bit of cinnamon making these cookies SOOOO GOOD! Keeping it KETO Growing up I remember having snickerdoodles all the time, but as an adult I kinda forgot all about these little jewel of a cookie and then last week I was so sweetly reminded of them.  I have some sweet friends and one of them asked me if I could make him some cookies.  His favorite he has had of mine so far are these Molasses Sandwich Cookies but I asked him what else he loves and he said Snickerdoodle,…

  • Vanilla Shortbread Sugar Cookies

    BEWARE!!  There is a new favorite cookie in town… The Vanilla Shortbread Sugar Cookie.  Not only is it delicious… it is SUPER easy!! It is all about the Vanilla Bean… Shortbread is a favorite but to really take it to the next level I used [Vanilla Bean Paste|https://amzn.to/2uTD77V ].  I use Vanilla Bean Paste in almost all my baking recipes but it is especially impactful in these cookies.  Not only do you see the Vanilla Bean Seeds (which makes them look super special) but it also amps up the vanilla taste making them AMAZING! Now if you do not have [Vanilla Bean Paste|https://amzn.to/2uTD77V ] you can use a vanilla pod with vanilla…

  • Cream Cheese Sugar Cookies

    Sugar cookies are one of my most favorite sweet treats.  I love the thinner, crispier ones and the soft pillowy (lofthouse) style ones and I love the frosted version.  Sugar cookies are the perfect treat for any occasion…these are a must make. Get Creative  I beauty of these cookies is you can use whatever sprinkles you want or change the color of the icing to anything you want.  You really can be as creative you want.   For this go around I decided to use up all the left over sprinkles I had laying around.  I have to be honest I loved the variety…a little something for everyone. Ohhhh the…

  • bring on the honey…and lots of it

    It is no secret that I love to bake…I mean I really love cooking in general but baking is just so fun!   Recently I have been looking for some ways to have all my yummy baked goodies but maybe with a little less sugar.  Honey is the answer and it is so YUMMY!   It is all about the sweet… My favorite way to replace traditional granulated sugar is with honey.  It is sweet and way better for you in the long run.  Now that sounds like a win win. Local is my favorite  My favorite honey is local.  I love finding different vendors at the local farmers markets.…

  • It’s a muffin puff kinda morning…

    I do not have enough words in my vocabulary to tell you all how much I love these muffin puffs.  Yes, you read that right, I am in LOVE with a little treat we call a muffin puff.  Trust me they are as cute as they sounds and as yummy as they look. What is a puff? Simply put it is a cross between a muffin and donut hole, but there is nothing simple about these bites. First, they are easy to make like muffins.  Mix everything together and then bake it off in cute mini muffin pans.  I LOVE mini muffin pans.  Don’t you?  Some of the best bites…

  • this ain’t your normal sugar cookie

    Sugar cookies are my mom’s favorite cookie.  She would eat them everyday, if I made them for her everyday.  Thankfully for her I don’t…or her time at the gym would be a lot more than it is right now. Time for something new My Mom is not the only one who loves sugar cookies though.  I am also a HUGE fan so when I was at one of my favorite  cooking store (Sur La Table) and saw these cookie stamps I knew it was time to make these shortbread sugar cookies.  Since I was going to be using a new technique I decided to use a new recipe. I have…
