My family loves monkey bread. This time we mixed grated apple into the cinnamon-sugar syrup and baked it in a heart pan for a festive and comforting Valentine’s Day treat. With or without apple, this sweet gooey cinnamon pull-apart bread is sure to make your Valentine happy.
These naturally-dyed pink beet rolls are a festive Valentine’s Day treat. And they double as a fun activity because the vibrant-colored dough (reminiscent of playdough) should keep your kids entertained for a while. Happy Heart Day!
You might recall that not too long ago I posted about the Pepperidge Farm “Puffection” Holiday Entertaining Challenge. Now for the second part of the challenge: my own “Puffection” creation using Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry. Golden, caramelized sugar coats these puff pastry palmiers. Enjoy them plain, with cinnamon and sugar, or dipped in chocolate for a special holiday treat.
These pumpkin pie-spiced energy bars are loaded with flax, whole oats, whole grains, Greek yogurt and nutrient-dense pumpkin to make them a healthy, energizing snack that also satisfy a sweet-tooth craving.
My almost four-year old son has been showing more signs of independent eating but he didn’t even care that these rolls contained two cups of spinach. They have a lovely shade of green so I will definitely tuck them away for St. Patrick’s Day but we will be making these many times before then, too.
My family loves banana bread and one of my favorite banana bread toppings is peanut butter so it was a natural for me to incorporate peanut butter into the bread this time.
Chocolate and zucchini seems like an unlikely combo but it actually works. It’s a sneaky way to add some nutrients to your chocolate muffins and it’s a decadent way to serve zucchini to your family.
Instead of mixing berries throughout these muffins I dollop raspberry freezer jam in between layers of batter to make a sweet berry swirl on the top of each banana oatmeal muffin.
Homemade pop-tarts {little breakfast pastries filled with berries and/or jams and glazed with icing} are much more appetizing than the store-bought versions. And for special a treat, it’s your opportunity to eat little pies for breakfast!
In this comforting and rich version of French toast made with a pumpkin quick bread, the soothing and intoxicating pumpkin mixes with sweet maple syrup, crunchy pecans and homemade whipped cream to make a decadent breakfast that could easily pass for dessert.
