There was a time in my life during which I believed that nothing could top a gooey homemade cinnamon roll loaded with cream cheese icing. I developed a bread machine recipe for those using whole wheat flour and I don’t mind telling you that it’s pretty amazing. But a year or so ago, a new… Continue reading ORANGE CREAMSICLE ROLLS

White Chocolate Apricot Bread
There is an adorable little bakery that recently opened here in Huntsville. It’s located in a section of the city that features the most charming brick buildings and a pedestrian-friendly community. Jeff and I like to pop in there for breakfast treats on his off Fridays. We’re almost always swayed by their delicious coconut orange… Continue reading White Chocolate Apricot Bread
PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE PINWHEEL PASTRIES
Confession: weekend breakfasts around these parts are an indulgence. We reserve healthy things like yogurt and steel-cut oats for weekdays while we savor delicious treats like fluffy pumpkin pancakes with maple cream cheese syrup and toasted pecans on lazy weekend mornings. Makes you want to come sleep over next Friday night, doesn’t it? I don’t… Continue reading PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE PINWHEEL PASTRIES
Quick cinnamon buns with buttermilk icing
Around these parts, I make homemade yeast cinnamon rolls at least twice each year. The process is fairly long and complicated and must be started the day before we want to enjoy the cinnamon rolls. The effort is definitely worth it; my homemade wheat cinnamon rolls are soft and sweet and delicious when I have… Continue reading Quick cinnamon buns with buttermilk icing
BUTTER BOMB WHEAT ROLLS
Have you ever visited Texas Roadhouse or Logan’s Roadhouse restaurants? If so, you might agree with me that the best part of any meal at either of those places is the fresh-from-the-oven yeast rolls that are served before the meal. I so love those rolls that I once spent months trying to replicate them at… Continue reading BUTTER BOMB WHEAT ROLLS
Blueberry breakfast scones
We have family visiting this week. My mom and grandma came in for Cassidy’s 8th grade promotion. This morning, I treated them to homemade scones and green smoothies (I had to use the scones as a bribe to convince them to try the smoothies). I’m happy to report that they deemed the smoothies “not that… Continue reading Blueberry breakfast scones
Whole wheat english muffins
If you’ve never tried a homemade English muffin, well, you’ve never tried an English muffin at all. Seriously. Given how easy it is to make them, I cannot understand why anyone would buy store-bought English muffins. The homemade version–when made with whole wheat flour–packs a significantly better nutritional punch and tastes unbelievably wholesome and delicious. … Continue reading Whole wheat english muffins
dilled wheat bread
Things have been all aflurry (yes, I totally just made that word up) at our house as of late. On those busy weeknights when we need a quick dinner but don’t want to (would not ever, in fact) resort to the drive-thru of a fast food restaurant, we opt for sandwiches. This is my go-to… Continue reading dilled wheat bread
Blueberry Crumb Muffins
It’s that time of year again. The time when beautiful berries bursting with flavor start showing up in force in the grocery store cases. A few weeks ago I bought an extra container of blueberries in hopes of redeeming a previous blueberry muffin fail. This one did the trick. Ingredients: For the muffins: 1/2 stick… Continue reading Blueberry Crumb Muffins
Oatmeal Buttermilk Bread
After many years of the same ol’ whole wheat sandwhich bread, a family tends to get a little restless. Bored–if you will–of the same old song and dance. Such was the case with my family. Not that my standby whole wheat loaves are anything to shake a stick it; it’s a great recipe. But when… Continue reading Oatmeal Buttermilk Bread
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins
Every once in awhile I come across a recipe worthy of its very own page in my personal recipe collection. Such was the case a couple of months ago when I discovered the muffins. Honestly, I think they’re more a dessert than breakfast, but who am I to argue with a recipe title? Muffins are… Continue reading Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins
Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns {bread machine}
I’ve mentioned before that I’m not so much a red meat kind of girl. I gave it up at the age of 12 and haven’t looked back. I am, though, a huge fan of the turkey burger. Especially when it’s topped with melted, creamy Havarti cheese, barbecue sauce and avocado. Burgers are hard-pressed to get… Continue reading Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns {bread machine}
