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!

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.) ...

Boston Marathon, week #3

Last week was a great week for training - lots of easy runs, a V02-max workout, and my first long run that actually felt 'long'.  The goal was to get in 50-55 miles, and I ended up with 56ish, so right on target. Saturday's long run was glorious ! Temps in the 50's in January (!) makes me a very happy runner. I headed out for 16-17 miles and ended up with almost 18. And I remembered to bring fuel!  I tried out the blueberry-pomegranate Gu chomps, and they weren't my favorite. I ate one every 2 miles once I hit the 8-mile mark and they left a strange aftertaste. Pretty much as soon as the aftertaste went away, it would be time to eat one again. I'm thinking I will try something else next time.  This was the week of the 8's... what a monotonous bar graph. I'll try better next week to make it a little more exciting. Weekly Rundown 1.7.2013-1.13.2013 Mon - 8.2 miles easy Tues - 8.3 miles easy Wed - 4x1200m @ 4:29 (4:32, 4:31, 4:31, 4:34);...
