These cinnamon puff sticks are a cute and extremely simple adornment to any dessert! For example, they make a cute addition to my previous reverse strawberry shortcake post! Or if you’re like me you’ll just want to snack on them straight out of the oven. They definitely have that extra bit of luxury when they’re warm and flaky and just–mmmm! I actually make these a lot whenever I have leftover puff pastry from other recipes, like salmon en croute (coming soon), and these are extremely similar to the churro cookies recipe I shared earlier. Just without the filling, and in stick form instead of circles!…

This recipe comes from a random late-night craving! It’s an amaaaazingly simple recipe and if you’re going to eat pancakes anyway, why not spruce up those plain jane pancakes with some cake batter? Everything is better with cake batter. And make sure you reserve some sprinkles for topping! Gotta make sure there’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that these are cake batter! And the only way to do that is with sprinkles obviously. I will say, if you make this, I suggest making at least a 1/4 c. extra batter or more. Because there’s definitely potential for sneaking some of…

In addition to banana bread, here’s another way-past-ripe bananas recipe to add to your repertoire! Though you do need a doughnut pan for these. I prefer baked doughnuts since they’re “healthier”, but more so because they don’t involve heating up oil and frying things. I always feel like I’m being wasteful with the leftover oil, and besides, it also makes my house smell of oil for like a month. (I might be exaggerating a leeeeetle.) You can see that my bananas were a little past a little prime. But the flavor is still packed in there! And like most banana breads…

This grilled cinnamon pineapple is the perfect summer grilin’ recipe! Funny enough, it’s not summer as I write this, and there’s still a fair bit of snow of the ground. But with warm, toasty flavors, and just a slight bit of char on tangy sweet pineapple, it reminds me of summertime. Close enough, right? Grilled cinnamon pineapple is a great addition to any summertime BBQ menu. A healthful dessert that’s easy to prep and grill. A sweet ending to a lovely hot summer day, and so, so easy to make. This recipe is so simple it barely warrants a recipe.…

So I was supposed to have volleyball tonight. But lucky for you all, instead you get another recipe because it’s snowing and surprisingly dangerous for the less than 2″ of snow on the ground. But it’s that wet, slippery kind. I turned around before even going a mile to one of the major roads, and I passed at least 6 cars pulled over on the side of the road, and two in an accident right outside the complex. Jeez. And I don’t have an all-wheel drive vehicle, I have a sedan, but I also grew up in the Northeast and feel…

So let’s go with: I’m going to whip these out again one day and impress someone. They look amazing. They taste even more amazing. And you can pretend that they’re healthy (they’re not). I did forget to add that extra drizzle of caramel, but you know, that’s how these things go. I used McIntosh apples because that’s what I had lying around the house, and I wasn’t able to make the nice rings that the gunny sack described. Because my apples were softer, I just cut out from the center instead, making sure not to cut through the base.…

So what I am about to write might be blasphemy. I’m not a huge fan of every single fall staple. I don’t really like apple pie. I only recently started liking stuffing. I don’t really like pumpkin flavored things. I don’t really like pecan pie. All of these I’ll tolerate, but I’m not about to go bananas over them. So when I found this recipe by Dorothy Kern on Crazy for Crust, I pinned it, thinking it looked pretty but I would never actually make it for myself. Lucky for you all, it’s T’s birthday tomorrow! And he loooves pecan pie. So I thought…
