Cinnamon Toast Rolls. 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. Trim the crusts off of the bread Roll the bread really flat Brush both sides of the bread with butter Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar Cinnamon Toast Rolls.

I love breakfast! I love brunch! Breakfast Bowl. New categories for me.

Breakfast Bowl

I’m filing this under ‘kids‘ and ‘breakfast‘. Not because it’s a specific food for children, but because my baby loves to eat this (will I ever stop calling him my baby? I somehow doubt it). This is by far his favorite breakfast -not to mention he loves to ‘help‘ me cook it – which makes it a fun thing for the both of us. If he likes it, chances are more toddlers out there like it and well, us moms gotta give each other a hand whenever we can, right! It’s just a little break from the traditional way of cooking eggs and it’s actually a pretty decent start of the day, nutritionally speaking. It’s not just fun to make but they’re also great to serve because they’re oh-so simple, but look oh-so good, and not just for kids!

Ingredients: drop of olive oil 1/2 small onion grated cheese 1 tomato 2oz ham 2 eggs pepper salt Directions: Preheat your oven to 350 (175c) This was a breakfast for two, so if you need more just double (or triple) the amounts. The egg saga. Cinnamon Swirl Bread. I made this bread late at night and poured a glaze on top to intensify it even more.

I knew there was a problem before cutting into it because it was sunken in the middle. I found out that the innards of the bread were not fully cooked. I went back to the website to see what others had said about the cake, and they mentioned that the gooey center was the best part, but my cake was a bit too gooey. I heated the cake up more, which caused the sides of the bread to burn even more and the top of the bread to form an extra layer of crust from the glaze I had put on before. Even through all of these problems, this bread tasted fantastic.

Rosin - entry number 44! I will be contacting you shortly for your mailing address! Thanks for entering, guys! Sitting cross-legged on my bed with the spine of a new cookbook spread over my lab, I'm turning pages quickly and expectantly. Eager to see something new and unique within the tome, I devour the photos and recipes inscribed on the clean sheets. But I'm unsatisfied as I approach the final pages, left disappointed in the face of the index. Needless to say, I don't like the feeling. But still I find good in it; dwelling long enough generally leads to inspiration. P recently spent a a number of days considering this thought, frustrated by his current inability to bake the majority of the sweets in his repertoire while living in India.

The kid's always got to be "special," you know? After a week of thinking, P developed this recipe for Monkey Balls; fried balls of sweet dough filled with cinnamon and sugar. What do you think? English Muffins.
