The USDA released its new food pyramid the other day (which is actually a plate now instead of a pyramid), and I am sorely disappointed to report that cinnamon rolls did not appear anywhere on that plate. I think by now most of us know what should be on our dinner plate in terms of healthy, well-rounded nutrient-laden meals, but it is my considered opinion that our breakfast plate should include cinnamon rolls now and then. And not just any cinnamon roll, mind you, but how ‘bout a homemade cinnamon roll hybrid that is a cross between a cinnamon roll and cinnamon toast, is super easy to make and gosh darn delicious.

A Two Bite Breakfast: Bacon & Eggs in Toast Cups

http://thenoshery.com/2009/03/29/a-two-bite-breakfast/ Bacon & Eggs in Toast Cups Yesterday we got probably about 10 inches of white fully snow, which meant that church was canceled this morning and so was Hubby’s softball game. I usually make breakfast on Saturday mornings, but this Saturday I had to go into work for a few hours. But since we had no church to get up early for or a softball game to run to, I decided to make some breakfast this morning. I recently got this awesome book, William & Sonoma’s: Tools & Techniques.

I Am Now In The Muffin Loop

Made from two small chocolate sponge cakes filled with fluffy vanilla icing, whoopie pies have been a lunch-box staple for generations, though their origins are a bit mysterious. Some say they were first created in Pennsylvania Dutch kitchens as a way to put leftover chocolate-cake batter and icing to good use. Regardless of when they were first introduced, these confections have been manufactured commercially since 1927. They became a popular homemade dessert during the late forties and early fifties, and still remain a beloved favorite in New England and Pennsylvania. In this classic recipe, Martha uses a 1-ounce ice cream scoop to form the cookies, then sandwiches them together with seven-minute frosting. Serve as an after-lunch or -dinner treat with a tall glass of milk.

Baking has grown on me over the last couple of years. I remember how scared I used to be to try a recipe and then how disappointed I’d be when I failed. Time has changed me, though, and I am no longer afraid of screwing up.
