Cinnamon Bun Cookie Ice Cream

Posted on May 24, 2016

No churn ice cream swirled with cinnamon roll filling and full of cinnamon roll cookie pieces! , Every time I make a new ice cream flavor, I convince myself that it’s a new favorite and I can’t possibly come up with another that I will enjoy as much. The last batch, which was so good…

Cinnamon Cake with Chile Chocolate Buttercream

Posted on December 2, 2015

A light and airy cinnamon cake frosted with the fluffiest, creamiest chile chocolate buttercream.    Here’s the thing. This post is all about the buttercream. The buttercream, it is so stinking good. Can you see the little flecks of cayenne pepper hiding in there? Can you see how light, creamy and just spoonable it is?…

Fall Pavlova with Caramelized Apples and Cinnamon Whipped Cream

Posted on November 4, 2015

A special Thanksgiving dessert that happens to be gluten-free. This fall inspired pavlova is layered with cinnamon whipped cream and caramelized apples. While I have a hard time understanding the idea of being “too full” for dessert, some people have brought this concept to my attention in the past. And apparently, at Thanksgiving, this can…

Oatmeal Cookie Wedges with Cinnamon & Chocolate Chips

Chewy oatmeal cookie bars filled with cinnamon and chocolate chips then drizzled with extra chocolate make a delicious and pretty party treat. It’s so exciting when one of my friends publishes a cookbook! And in the world of blog friends, it seems to be happening more and more often. Lucky for me, my friend Miriam…

Healthy Apple Cinnamon Muffins

Posted on September 28, 2015

A kid-friendly breakfast or snack, these healthy apple muffins are made with whole wheat flour and naturally sweetened! When I think back to the first month after L was born, it comes back as a haze. Of course I remember the unbelievable sense of contentment I got when I’d snuggle on the couch with L…

Amazing pumpkin blondies that are easy to make. With chewy centers and crispy crackly tops, you will love this one-bowl dessert.

Cinnamon Chip Oatmeal Blondies

Posted on June 8, 2015

Chewy gooey blondies loaded with sweet cinnamon chips. Until this, I hadn't made Blondies since L was born. Which is a shame. Because 1) blondies are really my thing and 2) they are pretty much the easiest way to bake for a crowd. After churning out hundreds and thousands of them for a couple of…

Cinnamon Roll Blondie Bites

Posted on September 25, 2014

Mini cinnamon chip blondies are topped with the perfect cinnamon roll cream cheese frosting! So I realize I’ve been posting a ton of cinnamon-seasoned desserts lately, but can you blame me?  Cinnamon enhances all things pumpkin and apple, but it really shines on its own as well.  As a result, I gave these blondies the…

Cinnamon Chip Whole Wheat Pumpkin Scones

Posted on September 15, 2014

Lightly sweetened pumpkin scones filled with rich and flavorful cinnamon chips. I haven't had many weird pregnancy cravings, but there were a few times that I could have killed for a scone from this bakery.  I don't know what it is about them that is so good, but they are insanely addicting.  I think it has…

Giant Caramel Apple Cinnamon Bun with Cream Cheese Glaze

Posted on September 10, 2014

This giant cinnamon roll is oozing with a gooey caramel apple and topped with a perfect cream cheese glaze. I think Matt put it perfectly when he said, “You know how when you eat a cinnamon roll and the middle is the best part?  This is like getting almost only the middle!” Seriously, though.  I’ve…

Pumpkin Cinnamon Bun Ice Cream (No Churn)

Posted on July 14, 2014

Super creamy pumpkin ice cream with a cinnamon brown sugar swirl.  No ice cream maker needed for this recipe! It was so much fun reconnecting with my best friends from childhood this weekend.  I was only with them for one night but we had such a good time.  We had dinner at Amada and then…

Brown Butter Peach Crumb Muffins

Posted on June 23, 2014

The perfect summer brunch food.  These brown butter muffins are full of juicy peaches and topped with a cinnamon crumble. Summers for us are always full of travelling to see family.  I try to bring a different sweet treat every time, though my family has had its fair share of bakery "scraps"!  These muffins were…

New York Crumb Cake Ice Cream

No-churn vanilla ice cream filled with the best coffee cake crumb topping and brown sugar cinnamon swirls.  You don’t need an ice cream maker to make this fantastic recipe! , I’ve talked a little about how my eating has changed since I’ve been pregnant.  It is so liberating to be able to enjoy food and…

Whole Wheat Pumpkin Cinnamon Swirl Bread

Posted on November 14, 2013

This loaf of bread is the perfect addition to your Thanksgiving table.  If there is somehow some leftover, use it the next day it to make french toast for a delicious breakfast treat. It's not often that I bake something that requires yeast.  In fact, I tend to think of most homemade breads as something…

Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake

Posted on November 25, 2012

Last night was my 10-year high school reunion.  I didn’t really know what to expect, but for some reason I was a little nervous about going.  There was the whole cliché of wanting to look good, which isn’t all that convenient two days after Thanksgiving, but I also wondered if it would be all that…

Apple Cinnamon Blondies

Posted on September 4, 2012

I always thought that summer was my favorite season, but this year I can’t wait for the temperature to go down a bit.  Maybe it was the ultra-hot weather this summer that was more conducive to air conditioning than afternoon walks.  I’m not quite sure, but whatever it is I’m ready for fall. And in…

Brown Sugar Cupcakes with Cinnamon Ginger Buttercream and Ginger Cookie Pecan Brittle

Posted on August 26, 2012

Moist brown sugar cupcakes topped with a flavorful buttercream and surprise brittle topping. Sometimes it is easy to get in a rut. A cookie rut. An exercise rut. A wearing the same $12 gap t-shirt every day rut. We get a little comfortable with the usual. Cookies are easy and I’ve gotten great at them.…

Apple Cinnamon Crumb Cake

Posted on May 8, 2012

Moist, flavorful cake full of apple chunks topped with a thick layer of buttery crumb topping.  The perfect breakfast or brunch treat! Every time I think I can predict the ebbs and flows of my new business I'm absolutely wrong.  But you know what, I've never been so happy to be wrong. I really thought that as soon as I got all…

Chewy Gooey Cinnamon Toffee Blondies {Guest Post}

Posted on January 5, 2012

Sorry, guys.  I tried to be nice but I just couldn’t keep these from you any longer.  I know, you are barely a week into your resolutions and trying to stay strong, but put down your carrot stick, break out your whisk (no mixer required), and make a batch of these.  Your mouth will immediately…

Rugelach, Three Ways

Posted on December 22, 2011

I decided to get a little crazy with my last holiday cookie.  Rugelach is a traditional Jewish dessert, perfect for Channukah.  However, I’m pretty sure that these would be welcome on any Christmas table as well. So instead of making a traditional version of rugelach, I took the basic cream cheese dough and added a…

Lighter Carrot Snack Cake with Cream Cheese Icing

Posted on December 8, 2011

Ok, I'm going to be honest.  I'm posting a recipe for carrot cake and I don't even like carrot cake. You see, I really thought I did.  Moist cake slathered in cream cheese icing, how could it be bad?  Well, of course my version that I thought I would like is void of raisins, walnuts…

Caramel Apple Cake Trifle and Giveaway!

Posted on November 27, 2011

I don’t know about you, but I am swimming in leftovers.  The thing is, I can’t decide if it is a good or bad thing.  I have plenty of food to get us through the next few days.  But really, how much turkey can one person eat?  If only I could get sick of cookies…

Cinnamon & Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Pie Cookies

Posted on October 9, 2011

Things have been crazy around here lately.  I know I say this a lot, but after the busy summer, things never really slowed down. There has been a ton of weekend travelling, apartment hunting, working, baking, blogging, and I’ve even been interning with Hot Blondies a few times a week as well.  My days have…

Whole Wheat Maple Walnut Spice Cookies

Posted on September 7, 2011

Along with pumpkin muffins the other night, I had these cookies going in and out of the oven.  I have to admit, I don’t usually like walnuts in my desserts (keep them away from my fudgey brownies, please), but these Whole Wheat Maple Walnut Spice Cookies just sounded so appealing. Maybe it is the fact…

Accidentally Scuffins

Posted on March 24, 2011

Sometimes recipe experiments don’t work out.  Sometimes they work, just a little differently than you expect. I set out to make scones, but I ended up with scuffins!  A scuffin is basically the hybrid of a scone and a muffin.  These Cinnamon Apple Chunk Scuffins are hearty, chewy, and flavorful.  Like scones, they aren’t too…

Cinnamon Swirl

Posted on February 25, 2011

I love cinnamon.  I use it in my oatmeal, yogurt, cottage cheese and even to season my sweet potatoes.  Cinnamon supposedly increases your metabolism, but at the rate I consume it, that means I should be burning fat like nobody’s business.  Hmm, not so much.  Regardless, it tastes delicious and is especially delightful in the…
