Cappuccino Cinnamon Rolls

Earlier this week, I posted a few pictures of some cinnamon rolls. Some Cappuccino Cinnamon Rolls to be exact.



I've been on a kick with sweet breakfast recipes lately, but I'm not complaining. Either is my Business Man. Except that he didn't get any of these cinnamon rolls. Whoops. And cinnamon rolls are his favorite. (Bad wife award.)






Anyways, my friend Alissa loves to bake. She does not have an oven at her apartment in South Korea, where she is living and teaching currently. So when she was back in the States for two weeks, and we got together, you betcha we had to bake!






And we wanted to make something for breakfast, so we could enjoy it after our beautiful run. So we made Cappuccino Cinnamon Rolls. We've made these before, three times, and they always come out beautifully.


The coffee flavor is very slight, not too overwhelming at all. They're soft and sweet and gooey and everything a cinnamon roll should be. The cappuccino-flavored glaze on top is just the icing on the cake, err, cinnamon roll.






They're super simple to make, especially if you do all the dough prep the night before, then let them rise in the refrigerator overnight. Then all you have to do in the morning is pop them in the oven! And pour the glaze on. And you can have fresh, warm, delicious cinnamon rolls.

The Arrival of Something New...

Woo hoo for the last Friday of the school year! And only one more day of school next week. (And then a couple teacher workshops...) Another reason to be excited? Our fridge came today!! Isn't she a beauty? It is so nice to have a fridge again. You don't realize how much you miss a full-size refrigerator until you go a couple weeks without it. A bit bare... but that can be solved easily. Bottom-drawer freezer, containing the essentials: moose tracks & Diet Dew trying to get cold asap. Anyways, I'm just popping in to share my beautiful new appliance. The baking monster has taken over, and I'm in the midst of making 150 cupcakes for a graduation party tomorrow.  First big baking project in the new kitchen! I'm loving all the counter space. Mmm... chocolate buttercream! Making good use of the baking nook! :) Adios!

Red Velvet Cake... Donuts

So this whole Valentine's Day coming up soon is definitely just an excuse for me to bake ridiculous things. Case in point: Red Velvet Cake Donuts . A few weekends ago, my Business Man and I visited the new Tim Horton's here in the Bean Town for the first time. I'd never set foot in a Tim Horton's before, and was pretty much enamored with all the flavors of donut holes, or "Tim Bits". Instead of just having to settle on one  or  two  donut flavors, I got to pick 10 different flavors for each of the Tim Bits in my 10-pack. (Well, I don't think they had 10 flavors... maybe only 6 but you get the idea.) They came in such a cute little package too! (Yes, I am a marketer's dream...) While I went the Tim Bit route, my Business Man went the traditional route - with an old fashioned sour cream donut. And then he went the not-so-traditional route... with a Red Velvet Donut!  And he said it was absolutely amazing. (I had a bite, and thought it w...

The Essential Summer Dessert

Last weekend, my Business Man and I hosted a fiesta for some of our friends in the Bean Town. While everyone enjoyed the food, I think dessert was the biggest hit. (Surprise, surprise.) We had brownies (from a box, the horror!) topped with chocolate ganache, and fruit pizza . Fruit pizza is most definitely my "go-to" summer dessert. Since it's the official 1st day of summer, I thought I'd share the recipe! It's delicious without being too heavy or rich. And it's most definitely healthy, because you are eating fruit, right? The recipe I use is my mom's... she's been using it for years. It starts with a basic sugar cookie base, topped with a cream cheese-whipped topping, and then all the fruit your little heart desires! I usually go with strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, pineapple, and mandarin oranges. But raspberries are really good, too. Even better when you pick the fruit yourself! (Picking berries on our honeymoon last July.) ...
