Chocolate Banana Crumb Cake

Tina2 Comments

Chocolate… banana… crumb… cake… Can you handle it? The holiday season is the perfect time to indulge… in everything, but especially at breakfast time.  My mom used to make a wonderful breakfast spread for Christmas morning so maybe that’s why I feel this way.  Or maybe because I’ll find any excuse to eat sugar or chocolate first thing in the morning.  If Christmas isn’t a good excuse then I don’t know what is.  How about some cinnamon rolls or sticky buns or the perfect crumb cake or THIS chocolate banana crumb cake? O…M…G…  if you like chocolate or banana bread or crumb …

Pumpkin French Toast

Tina2 Comments

How would you like pumpkin pie for breakfast, without actually eating pie?  (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.) My husband and I enjoyed some great meals while we were on vacation.  (The extra pounds that I’m carrying now are proof.)  After all, on vacation nothing has calories, right?  While staying at the Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, my husband ordered brioche french toast at the Aria Cafe and it was divine.  The food blogger in me and the bread maker in my husband immediately think that we to try to replicate this dish this back at home. As soon as we …

Poach Fried Eggs

Tina7 Comments

The cinnamon roll vs sticky bun debate rages on… If you missed the Cinnamon Roll post and prefer your rolls of cinnamon to be simply glazed instead of sticky and gooey, then head on back to that post here.  I assure you that you will not be disappointed.  If you did catch it then you must have been anxiously awaiting these. Without further ado, I leave in you in goods with my husband… As a kid wandering the mall with my dad and brother we would often follow our noses to the T.J. Cinnamons that was somewhere off to the side …

Cinnamon Rolls

Tina12 Comments

Guys, I couldn’t be more excited to share today’s recipe with you… seriously excited, like you just told a kid they’re going to Disney World kind of excited.  I’ll refrain from the screams and eeks, but I’m telling you right now that this is absolutely my favorite recipe this year so far. My husband is the brains behind this creation so I’ll happily turn it over to him.  Excuse me while I grab my fat pants. If preparing to make this recipe has taught me anything, it’s that cinnamon roll recipes are as widely varied as they are a pain in the butt …
