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. In honor of their ancestry, I call these little gems cinnamon toast rolls, and here’s all you need to make them… Yep. That’s it… some soft white bread, some butter and some cinnamon sugar.

Creamy Avocado Pasta – $5 Dinner Challenge. Kelly sent this recipe for 15 Minute Creamy Avocado Pasta from Oh She Glows. She’d made it, loved it, and thought it might be helpful for those dealing with food allergies…and can’t do white sauces with pasta. I was mainly intrigued because it was “something else to do with spaghetti noodles.” We eat spaghetti on average 3-4 times a month…usually with a meat or marinara sauce and on occasion with garlicky-olive oil sauce. So I was ready for something new…and this was just it. I (big, giant, thumping heart) love avocados. I often tell friends over a bowl of guacamole that if I had to choose one food to eat for the rest of my life…it would be avocado. So yes, I jumped at the chance to make this. I used a box of whole wheat thin spaghetti noodles…wanted to make sure the water could boil and pasta cook in less than 15…trying to keep in step with the original recipe.

A fabulously inexpensive dinner. Pumpkin Monkey Bread. September 23, 2011 | Print | E-mail | Filed under bread, pumpkin Monkey bread. It’s almost as much fun to say as it is to eat, and with the arrival of autumn, I couldn’t stop thinking about taking my usual recipe and kicking it up a notch with the addition of pumpkin – so, of course, I did.

Making monkey bread has always brought with it feelings of nostalgia for me, which makes it one of my favorite sweets to share with family and friends. In fact, the day after I made it, I invited a good friend over so that I could share it with her, along with some apple cider – a lovely way to spend an autumn afternoon, if you ask me! Even though it takes some time to make, most of it is hands-off time – like any yeasted bread, you can leave the dough to rise and go off and do other things while you wait.

Make this over the weekend and serve it for breakfast (or brinner, I won’t tell), and share it with a friend! For the dough: For the coating: 1 cup sugar2 tsp cinnamon3/4 stick butter, melted. Baked Zucchini Fries Recipe. Baked Zucchini Fries Recipe I am not a French fry kind of gal. I love baked sweet potato fries, but the deep fried French fries don’t appeal to me. I had some zucchini that needed to be used, so I decided to try baked zucchini fries. I asked Josh if he wanted some of my fries and he turned up his nose.

I was kind of surprised because he loves baked sweet potato fries too and most vegetables. He didn’t like the idea of baking zucchini and calling them fries though. They sounded “too healthy” to be good. When we sat down to eat dinner together, he asked if he could try one of MY healthy fries. If you are looking for a healthy alternative to fries, give these a try. Baked Zucchini Fries Ingredients:3 medium zucchini, sliced into skinny sticks 2 large egg whites, beaten 1/2 cup whole wheat bread crumbs (we make our own) 2 T grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 tsp dried basil Pinch of dried oregano 1/4 tsp garlic powder Salt and pepper, to tasteDirections:Preheat oven to 425°. Pumpkin Cupcakes With Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting.

I couldn't believe my eyes this week when I saw the ad for Pumpkin Spice Lattes in my local Starbucks. Pumpkin Spice already? But there's still a little more summer to be had, isn't there? Of course, it was impossible to stay upset for too long; after all, this is lovely pumpkin -- one of my favorite flavors of all time -- that we're talking about! So, I ransacked my pumpkin-flavored recipes to find this one for Pumpkin Cupcakes. You'll recognize that it's a classic, but the cinnamon in the Cream Cheese Frosting gives it a little something extra. Even if you're mourning the passing of summer, there's no way you cannot enjoy this lovely autumnal dessert.

Image via shimelle/Flickr. La La Love You. Is it weird that Valentines Day is one of my #1 favorite holidays? Especially considering the fact that I can't actually remember the last time I've had a boyfriend during this emo-as-hell day? Maybe it's just that I le love the idea of love (and that i want my life to be a magnetic fields song). But this also might stem from my preconceived ideas about living in New York. When I moved up here I had this really romantic idea that I'd find a super cute boyfriend who listened to good music, had a nice pup pup, and a sweet smile. Whenever we'd walk around, Jens Lekman and Todd Rundgren would be playing in the background and we'd drink bottles of wine all day in Central Park and laugh until our teeth fell out.

But enough about me, let's talk about this super sweet and kindhearted breakfast-in-bed grilled cheese that won't stand you up on a Friday night I'm making for you and your lovie. And now here are the sweet ingredients: - 2 tbs of Nutella (ZOMG, right?) . Now some more berries! Xoxo, Broccoli Bites for Kids.

File this under the Onion Soup Mix Recipe category, though there is no Lipton onion soup mix in site. I may even serve these at my next dinner party, they were that good! While babysitting for my 6 year old picky eater niece, I had to come up with a good lunch that would be fun for the two of us to make together. She is not a big broccoli fan (or any vegetable fan), but I told her we would add melted gooey cheese and form the patties with our hands. She was sold. Please don't laugh when you read this recipe, it is terrific and easy. I made it my own by adding homemade breadcrumbs and fresh chopped steamed broccoli along with lowfat mozzarella cheese mixed with the cheddar. Broccoli Cheese Bites (adapted from My Tasty Treasures & WholeSomeBabyFood.com): 16 oz. package of frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained of liquid (I used fresh steamed broccoli) 1 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese 3 eggs salt & pepper 1 cup of seasoned Italian breadcrumbs Let cool and enjoy!

100 Healthy Snacks Under 200 Calories. Creamy Avocado Shells + the Clockless Oven. Save Someday, if you’re lucky and I feel like sacrificing our dignity, I will show you a picture of our lovely oven. Chris originally thought we should name this blog “The Timeless Kitchen” because the oven has no clock. That’s right, read ‘em and weep, literally. At some point the LYK oven’s clock shorted and started beeping uncontrollably, as our smoke alarm also tends to do. For our first few months living in the LYK we had to guess what the numbers on the temperature dial were since they had all conveniently worn off. Please try not to be jealous of our super upscale kitchen. Now that you’ve had a peek inside the real LYK I’ll tell you about this recipe we made from Angela at Oh She Glows. Save In fact, it was so heavenly that I forced myself to swallow whole al dente pasta shells just to get some creamy, zesty, herby carbs in me — still can’t chew due to the wisdom teething.

Sorry if the thought of that grossed you out…it really wasn’t that bad. Creamy Avocado Shells makes 4 servings. Cheese straws. Meet my new favorite party trick. In dusting off a woefully-neglected group of recipes on my “Cook This” list, subcategory “Cheese” I came upon a curious confection known as a cheese straw. Despite making a note to try them, cheese straws were new to me, but seeing as they involve cheddar, butter, salt and red pepper flakes, I couldn’t imagine them being anything less than awesome. What I didn’t realize was that, in a ridiculously simple process that took no more than one hour from prep to snacking, what I’d really baked were a cheesy poofs/cheez doodle hybrid!

And that my life may now be complete. It’s funny, all of these “cheese”-based snacks have never held my interest; they seemed so artificial, but not in a tasty way, like Twizzlers or Insert-Your-Shameful-Junk-Food-Habit-Here are. So you can imagine my surprise that when cheese, flour, butter, salt and pepper flakes are rendered into this cracker-like format, they taste remarkably like, well, Cheeze-Its. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Cake batter blondies. | girl meets life. I don’t say this very often. But this is one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten.

Remember how I made dense, fudgy brownies by using a boxed chocolate cake mix? Well, let’s just say that I haven’t been able to stop imagining doing the same with a yellow cake mix ever since. I thought, if this method can get me to actually love chocolate, how insanely good would a cake version be?? So, chocolate-lovers, this isn’t entirely for you. Cake batter blondies. ingredients: 1 box yellow cake mix1/4 cup canola oil1 egg, beaten1/4 – 1/2 cup milk1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional) directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Notes: I should mention that because I don’t have any bakeware yet, I actually baked this batch in a casserole dish (I’m classy like that, what can I say?).

**edited to add: I made these again in an 8-inch cake pan, and they came out perfectly! **also edited to add: I made the blondies successfully without using eggs!

The Most Satisfying First Bite of Pizza on Earth - The Amateur Gourmet Community. May 16, 2011 | By lemons and loafers | 3 Comments I am 31 years old. And I have eaten pizza the world over. I’ve had deep dish in Chicago. I’ve had Ray’s in New York: Famous and Original. I’ve had Pissaladiere in France. And as an amateur expert I can, without hesitation, say this. Pizza bianca is the pizza of Rome. Balance. The flavor is balanced too. Pizza Bianca (Adapted from America’s Test Kitchen) Ingredients 3 cups unbleached AP flour1 2/3 cups water, room temperature1 ¼ tsp table salt1 ½ tsp instant or rapid-rise yeast1 ¼ tsp sugar5 Tbs olive oil1 tsp kosher salt2 Tbs whole fresh rosemary leaves Instructions Set up a stand mixer with a bread hook.

Conclusion The end result is the simplest pizza I can imagine. Chuckwagon Apple Fritters | Scarletta Bakes. I’ve been thinking about the Good Humor truck a lot lately. Like, a lot. This happens to me almost every summer. I get super hot. The sweating starts. The farmer’s tan shows up. The sweating continues. And I think about ice cream like it’s my job. Every summer when I was a kid, we would spend our days at the local pool. I was a champion eater. Around 11:19 a.m., I’d start to get excited. Waiting. And then, in the far-off distance, I heard it… Diddly ding da ding da ding ding-a-ling a ding dongggggggggggggg (Whatever. I have to be first in line. Wait – who is that chubby girl standing on curb, sobbing and clutching two melted Push Pops?

Sigh. Why am I talking about the Good Humor truck? Seriously, these fritters are simple and simply amazing. I came into the kitchen and found A. sitting next to an empty fritter bowl. M.: “Hey, what’s that chile sugar all over your face?” A.: “It’s not chile sugar. For reals. Chuckwagon Apple Fritters 1. Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese Sandwich. April is National Grilled Cheese Sandwich month and that was all the excuse that I needed to try out some new grilled cheese sandwich recipes! Not too long ago, while I was devouring a batch of the ever so addictive jalapeno popper dip, I was thinking about other ways to enjoy that amazing flavour combination and the idea that stuck was the one for a jalapeno popper grilled cheese sandwich. As soon as I had that thought I knew that I would have to try it and this was the perfect time!

The basic idea was to incorporate the flavours and textures of jalapeno poppers in a grilled cheese sandwich and the first step was the jalapeno peppers themselves. I really could not see biting into a perfectly grilled sandwich with all of the melted gooey cheese and hitting hard raw jalapeno peppers and although pickled jalapeno peppers would likely have done the trick I decided to take the extra step and I roasted the peppers first.
