Doughnuts or donuts? I have to tell you that I hate donut. Like, it actually hurts me when I go to my fave doughnut place in Colorado Springs and have to tag it with “donut” on Instagram. So if I’ve ever pinned your donuts and changed the name to doughnuts, that’s why. Clearly, I’ve had doughnuts…

Cottage Cheese Sweet Rolls
I have never been a cottage cheese fan. I know it’s one of those things that you either love or hate. And I hated it. The weird thing is, I’ve always wanted to like it. It’s high protein, low calorie, and just as versatile as yogurt. But I just couldn’t choke it down. Well a few…
Cinnamon Twists
Have you ever had the worst craving for a cinnamon roll but been stranded at home because your husband took your car to work because it’s snowing and he refuses to put new windshield wipers on his car? And you obviously can’t make cinnamon rolls from scratch because that would way too long. Plus you would…
Country Herb Rolls
Funny story about these rolls: they are so good that the angry husky couldn’t wait for them to bake. She ate 6 (!) of them as they sat on the counter to rise. Yes, she got sick. Yes, she says she’d do it again in a heartbeat. Anyway. Easter is next weekend! My husband hasn’t been home…
Caramel Crown Coffeecake
This Caramel Crown Coffeecake is a great twist on the traditional. Made monkey bread style with caramel, coconut, and pecans on top! If there’s one thing I love in this world, it’s caramel-coated bread sprinkled with coconut and walnuts. I mean, come on. Is there a better breakfast? And yeah, this is totally a breakfast…
Crescent Rolls
Crescent Rolls – easy buttery homemade crescent rolls. Skip the canned rolls and make your own! I’m really trying to get back into yeast breads. There was a time when I made every bread we ate and while that’s not really feasible at this point in my life I’d like to at least make it sometimes….
Raisin Swirl Bread
The baby of the house looooooves raisin swirl bread. I didn’t know this about him until he started going to daycare and every time they would have raisin swirl bread for breakfast, the girls that work there would tell me that he ate 3 or 4 pieces. One day one of the girls said “I finally…
Wheat-Oat-Flax Buns
Wheat-Oat-Flax Buns – hearty homemade buns made with flax seeds, oats, and whole wheat flour. Perfect for burgers or sandwiches! Part of the reason I bake bread so often is pure laziness. It’s just easier to bake a loaf than it is to strap 3 kids in carseats and get in and out of a…
Orange Sweet Rolls
Last minute Easter breakfast idea for you! Remember that list of Easter ideas I posted a few days back? I included two sweet rolls on that list – lemon and lime – and as I was making that list I couldn’t get orange rolls out of my head. These rolls are so amazing. Sweet dough…
Easter Bread
We got our eggs dyed yesterday. I was trying to wait until this weekend but we had a snowstorm early in the week that forced up to stay inside for a few days. I was desperate for something, anything to entertain the kidlets. So unless I get real brave this weekend and take them to an…
Hot Cross Buns
Easter is probably my favorite holiday (after Mardi Gras, obviously). I don’t know why – maybe it’s all the bright colored eggs or the fun baskets I get to make these days. I just love it. Another great thing about Easter? Hot Cross Buns! Slightly sweet, yeast rolls studded with currants (or dried fruit of…
