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!…

Continue ReadingI know it’s only just barely fall and I feel like I’m pulling out all the fall-themed recipes already! I’m not actually doing it on purpose, I’m just enjoying the comfort food aspect of my slow cooker! And I thought these microwave cinnamon apples would pair amazingly with the crockpot chicken and stuffing recipe I posted last week (it’s a versatile recipe!), and when I didn’t have apples I was sad. So they stayed on my mind, and I made up for it by serving them with the everyday thanksgiving sandwich. A good sweet side dish, although I didn’t think to…

Happy birthday to me! That’s right, September 8th is my birthday! And keeping in the tradition of making goodies for people’s birthdays…I couldn’t well leave myself hanging! But since it was raining yesterday and I was too lazy to get some mint extract for mint chocolate chip cookies, I decided to go with what I had on hand and make some funfetti fudge! I actually really like the funfetti cake mix in this because I like the sprinkles that come in it. They’re crunchy and hold up well without being too hard or distracting from the cake-batter flavor! This…

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.…
