One of my favorite breakfast meals happens to be pancakes. They can be made pretty much anyway you want. You can add whatever ingredients or toppings you wish. As much as I love the traditional pancakes, I have always wondered what would pancakes be like if it contained the ingredient of cinnamon and had a topping of dulce de leche....

This eggless cookie recipe came in handy today, because I ran out of egg substitute and I didn't feel like dashing to the store to get some more because it was so cold out today. Our temperatures hovered around 15 degrees below zero for most of the day. Brrrr!!These cookies are light and airy, and taste almost like a shortbread cookie. They smelled so good while they were baking, and I really welc

Yesterday was the last time I had a cinnamon bun and it was delicious!I had it at the Nifty Fifty restaurant. I probably won't have another one for a couple of months from now.I really miss the taste of cinnamon buns. I added it the Deron's Top Ten Foods List at my mom's kitchen.If only they made ice cream with the flavor of the cinnamon bun. There's my wishful thinking.
Coffee and Cinnamon Bread... what a glorious combination on a cold, snowy morning. Except I had 4 thick pieces of the bread and now I feel a little sick and I'm of course thinking if I keep eating breads and goodies this weekend I'll be hoping for some Lipovox or something in my stocking Christmas morning. The bread is moist and wonderful... but even more so because I didn't bake it! LOL. My h
Chocolate, cinnamon, almond and apple. What an interesting combination! To make it even more interesting it used hard cooked egg yolks... odd!

I've just put my not-so-little children to bed with one of our favorite Christmas traditions, The Cinnamon Bear.

I am really growing to like pumpkin. When I was looking at recipes for cookie ideas, I also had a local pumpkin roasting in the oven, so when I came across a few pumpkin cookie recipes, it seemed like a good thing to try.(A side note about pumpkins (and winter squash in general): I am glad they are so forgiving. I got this pumpkin from The Root Cellar a few weeks ago and just got around to roastin
Sprucing up a neutral palette of colors in the bedroom may not be your idea of individual taste (unless you like it to the bone). I prefer injection of colors here and there, indirect accents that allow a fine shade to your overalls and the chemistry can be magical. Neutral beddings with purposeful color accents can help you add charms to otherwise dull bedroom furnishings. Home furnishings m
Whether you are fixing breakfast for a holiday or just because you want to; these cinnamon rolls are just plain fantastic! It does take some time, but taste so much better when they are homemade than store bought.

So what do you think I did with the rest of the apples Vern gave us? Well, I made a recipe that I enjoyed from my Nanny when I was younger - apple butter! Brett had never had apple butter, so I knew this was a treat he needed to experience, and what better way to try it than with Vernalicious apples?As some of you know, I'm also quite intimidated by bread making of any kind. I don't know why, as I
I had a few apples left over from the French Apple Pie that I made last week, so I decided to make an apple cake this week.

Although in Europe and the U.S. cinnamon is most often associated with sweet dishes, it has broad culinary uses. For example, in India, cinnamon is never used with desserts, but is the main ingredient in curries.
Cinnamon is the bark of three bushy evergreen trees of the laurel (Lauraceae) family. The most fragrant and delicate cinnamon is obtained from the Cinnamomum zeylanicum tree native to Sri
I absolutely love brioche and I absolutely adore cinnamon rolls. Bringing the two together is beyond obvious but leave it to me to point out the obvious. These cinnamon rolls turned out tender, buttery, rich, and sweet, with that fabulous bite of cinnamon. These are my new favorite cinnamon rolls.

In addition to its other qualities as a flavoring, cinnamon kills microbes. Researchers have taken advantage of that property to develop an anti-mold wrapper.
Even with bread deliberately tainted with mold, wax paper made with 6 percent cinnamon oil inhibited mold growth by 96 percent, prolonging freshness by up to 10 days. Plain wax paper did not slow the mold at all.

About 7 years ago I was visiting my parents and since there isn't a whole lot to do at their house I'm known for raiding their books and magazines and reading everything I can get my hands on. During this visit my Mom had been doing some cleaning in their basement storage closet and pulled out a pile of old Country Woman magazines from the early 90's (I think they were... if I remember correctly)

Crumb cake is in a class by itself when it comes to coffee cake. The buttery, slightly crunchy, melt-in-your-mouth crumbs that top the cake make it not only delicious, but actually drive people to seek it out in bakeries, cafes and restaurants.

Welcome to another exciting entry in Steve Cooks, where I work on recipes related to general health and fitness. Yesterday, I went back into the lab... err... kitchen for yet another attempt at a high energy, protein bar. To recap, I'm trying to make a bar that is relatively low on carbs, very low in fat and high in protein. I am not in any way advocating a low carb diet. This is less like the South Beach and more of... let's call it the South King County Diet. Down here in South King County, we like carbs. Of course, most of those carbs are from onion rings, steak fries and beer, but what are you gonna do?I am trying to create something that is relatively cheap to make, holds well in the fridge (at least 2 weeks), tastes pretty good and has a decent, palatable texture. So, I'm avoiding in
I got this one from a friend who got it off the internet someplace. I don't buy frozen bread dough, but sometimes I make extra homemade and freeze loaves of it myself.

This is a very quick snack that I made over the weekend, perfect with a Saturday morning (hangover!) coffee. It reminds me of that cinnamon toast crunch cereal as well, but has a decidedly high class almost French pastry taste and feel about it. The best type of bread to use I think is quite thin, soft, white bread, something like Tesco value type or similar. Thin bread works best as the sugary butter mixture soaks right through the slice. Ingredients2 slices fresh white bread2 tablespoons white sugar2 tablespoons cinnamonButter for spreadingLightly toast your bread on both sides, just so that it is light golden brown (you don't want to overdo the toast at this stage, as you will need to return it to the grill in a minute). Now remove from the grill, and butter generously. Mix the sugar an
When this month’s Licorice of the Month Club box arrived, I was a bit dismayed to be immediately confronted with a strong cinnamon smell. You see, I hate cinnamon. Not dislike a little, but hate.

I'm trying to make up for not posting as many low-sugar or sugar-free recipes as I had hoped before this Easter holiday weekend. Time has managed to get away from me and although we regularly cook and bake with lower sugar or even low-carb dishes, I find that I have the photos stuck inside my computer and I never get the time to post them as I intend!

Sometimes it is said, “Love means never having to say you are sorry.” Whoever said that is a chump. In my book, love means being ready to admit to the litany of your mistakes, most of which originate from being stubborn, pigheaded, and/or egotistical. Love means standing up and being willing to admit when you were wrong. And so, dear readers, because I love you, I am here to admit that I was
I have nothing against the Poppin’ Fresh Doughboy.

Simple and quick, this method of dealing with Beans gives them an extra dimension and sufficient heft to punch in the same weight as a strongly-flavoured beef stew, say, or roast venison. And I defy anybody to be able to identify that the spice in play is Cinnamon - far removed from any dessert connotation, used this way it has a rather muscular, four-square quality that is as much a shape in the mouth as a flavour on the tongue.For Four, as a side serving.Ingredients: 300g Green Beans; 50g Butter; 2 tablespoons fine Breadcrumbs (I use Leimer brand, but home-made would be ok, too - as long as they aren't too large); half a teaspoon ground Cinnamon; Salt.Method:1. Cook the Beans in the normal way, in boiling salted water for 7-10 minutes, until they are al dente. (Don't let them cook t
Let’s just get one thing straight. Is there anything more delightfully, sinfully, homey than warm home-made cinnamon rolls? I think not. They are, perhaps, the perfect vehicle for food-induced nostalgia (and are my contribution to Food for Thought). In fact, I had been doing a lot of thinking about cinnamon rolls in the weeks leading up to Christmas. Growing up, my mom often made cinnamon rolls
I must be last person on earth to bake this cake. (Hey better late than never right?) If you “Google” Starbucks’s Chocolate Cinnamon Bread you’ll find that, many bloggers have already baked and devoured this cake.It may look like a chocolate pound cake, but that’s where the similarities end. The cake’s texture is light and devilishly chocolate. It’s made with buttermilk which gives the cake its tender crumb and the dark dutch cocoa would please any chocolate lover. The cake has a hint of cinnamon, okay a tad more than hint, but the dark dutch cocoa keeps the cinnamon from over powering the cake. The crunchy sugar topping has a touch of cloves, which brings a nice warmth to the cake.The cake recipe makes two generous loaves. Really generous. I gave one loaf to my friend
Here are a few samples of my mini cinnamon rolls that I made a few nights ago as a trial for my brother's wedding. They are yummy - secret recipe =)Iced and ready to go to school!A close up!Just before icing them!The cupcake paper I put each one in.It's amazing, one batch of dough makes 12 large cinnamon rolls, or 32 (possibly 40) mini ones. I can't believe that I can squeeze three to four times more out of one batch if I make mini ones! I'm hooked and probably won't make big ones again for a while! Mini are the way to make way more people happy!
Now home-baked cookies and I have a history of sorts. I developed an avid interest in baked goodies early on, and as time went by it turned into a passion of sorts. Yes, there's always a time for a story and this is one for Christmas cookies. As I stumbled across Susan's Christmas Cookies from Around the World 2007, I was inspired to dig out my old faithful - a treasured recipe book which holds a collection of my very favourite tried and trusted cookie recipes. Just a turn of the page and memories of baking batches of cookies for school events, for family, friends all came flooding back. Just as much as I loved the aroma of my Mum's kitchen every time I loaded in a fresh batch to bake, the fact remains that I really have not had the time or the opportunity to indulge in this joy for sever

"Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all."Harriet van HorneSPICY CINNAMON SHORTBREADThis is a sweet & spicy shortbread, not the traditional sort, because I made it with brown sugar that gave it a very different texture. In addition, I went further and sprinkled the tops with a mix of brown sugar & cinnamon before baking, which enhanced the flavour of cinnamon! Flowers on stars!!I love the 'Think Spice' monthly event at Sunita's World. It does make you put on your thinking cap, and actually think the spice...at least with me it does! Can you imagine...I been thinking 'Cinnamon', her spice of choice for December '07, ever since I read her post. I madly tried to stick a stick of cinnamon into anything & everything, but wasn't quite there. This spicy cinnamon 'shortbread of sorts', which is my own creation, finally did it!

When I was little, I knew Christmas was near when my mom's rice pudding made an appearance. It would first appear at Thanksgiving and continue until New Years Day. My mom would give me a cup of hot pudding, yes …hot, because I couldn't wait for it to cool down. It was the perfect combination of cream and cinnamon. For the grown ups, she would soak the raisins in hot water and dark Meyer's Rum. Either way it was a real Christmas treat. Getting the recipe was not a treat.When I asked for the recipe, she gladly sent it. Arborio rice, cinnamon stick, cinnamon, vanilla bean, skim milk, heavy cream, sugar. That's how she sent the recipe. (Agh!) Now, I'm calling long distance to Florida. I ask her …how much rice? Her response: "handful". "Mom, I'm 5 feet tall with small hands, you're 5'11 with larger hands.†"…Oh†she says. We chat as she searches for measuring utensils. Finally, she finds a liquid measuring cup. I sigh and say ok, use it. She starts to measur
Simplicity at its best, peas and raisins did wonders to this rice pilaf! This simple rice dish largely depends on petite peas, raisins, cinnamon, ginger and garlic to deliver that big flavor! This rice pilaf is a perfect display for simple yet flavorful Indian Cooking. Raisins and Cashewnuts paired nicely with this spiced rice pilaf, which added to the surprise sweet bites balancing the spices.I made this for the first time when i had a pot luck at my work place, i remember last year i made our regular vegetable biriyani with the store bought biriyani masala and i swear everyone where literally asking ' how do you people eat this spciy food everyday?', and you know what i really didnt add any green chillies and added very less masala than usual. But this time my peas and rice pilaf dish is a winner at my work, 99% of them being non indians, i wanted to keep it low on spicyness, yet wanted them to learn that Indian cooking is not just spicy, its packed with flavor from the spice
I have posted my typical cinnamon roll recipe on this site in the past along with a photo, just to make your mouth water, LOL. However, I've been intrigued by the recipes that use a pudding mix in the dough and not just in the filling. I found this recipe and liked that it used a bread machine to knead the dough as well as using the vanilla pudding in the dough.
