I love banana bread, but I don’t like fussing around with it. And I really still don’t want to heat my kitchen up more than I have to with it being on the edges of triple digits here still. So! That’s why I decided to finally try out the ‘quick bread’ feature on my bread machine and I made some banana bread in it instead of the oven. What was the end result? Well, you tell me!

This Bread Machine Banana Bread is as easy as can be. Just dump all the ingredients in - no yeast required - and go! The bread machine does all the hard work for you, all the way from mixing to baking. And at the end of it all you have a nice loaf of fresh banana bread that you barely had to do anything for…

PB&J Cinnamon Rolls

Sometimes you just have to put two of your favorite things together. Peas and carrots. Cinnamon and sugar. Peanut butter and jelly. PB&J with cinnamon rolls. These PB&J Cinnamon Rolls put PB&J into cinnamon rolls! That’s right. Peanut butter. Jelly. And cinnamon roll goodness. And after this past week? I could use some of my favorites in my life.

These PB&J Cinnamon Rolls are delicious. A little savory with the peanut butter and a little sweet with the strawberry preserves as filling. Of course, you can always use whatever your favorite flavor of jam, jelly, or preserves happens to be. Mine is obviously strawberry…

Skinny Cranberry Cherry Cinnamon Rolls

There’s nothing quite like waking to homemade cinnamon rolls. They’re truly one of my favorite breakfast items. Soft, fluffy, sweet, and once you get the hang of it - they’re fairly simple to make too! These Skinny Cranberry Cherry Cinnamon Rolls really take the cake, especially around Fall and Winter when cranberries are all the rage.

I based these sweet rolls off of my fave holiday pie, which happens to be a Cranberry Cherry Pie. The mix of cranberries and cherries is hard to beat. It’s sweet with the cherries and also has some tang to it with the natural tartness of cranberries being added…

September 24, 2020 Amanda Plott

Halloween is coming! I’m about to get my Halloween decorations down, the weather is turning cooler, and I couldn’t be more ready for the Fall. The world might be more crazy than ever, but I’m going to enjoy my favorite holiday this year, one way or another. Now… usually around this time of year I’m coming ip with all recipes pumpkin and Halloween inspired. This year? No different!

These Black Burger Buns are fairly easy to make with a bread machine. And their dark color makes them PERFECT for a Halloween inspired burger. I made ‘werewolf’ burgers in that they were mostly just neat colors that made me think of werewolves; black, purples, deep reds, etc…
