I have been to a couple of restaurants now that make “Cinnamon Roll French Toast” and have been curious about how to create it myself.  I decided it was time to try it out.  However, it was decided that we must first learn to make homemade cinnamon rolls.  I tested three recipes varying from cinnamon rolls in the frozen food section to totally homemade.  Here is your mostly homemade cinnamon roll rec

Upon deciding that we were going to make Cinnamon Roll French Toast, I needed to find a recipe for tasty cinnamon rolls. I researched for while to find the perfect recipe. Between searching online, through Facebook friends, and my own common sense, I came across a lovely homemade recipe that anyone can replicate! Just give it a try!

For our fifth Meal in 15 Minutes or Less, we are going for a classic breakfast: French Toast.  I've tasted a wide variety of attempts at french toast, but my mom's version was always my favorite.  It's simple, requires few ingredients, and will take less than 15 minutes from fridge to plate.  Let's get to it!

As I've mentioned before, we never really ate fast food or boxed meals growing up.  Most of the time, it was homecooked meals.  However, on the rare occassion when we were traveling and we needed something quick to eat, we may stop at a fast food restaurant for breakfast.  I was always deeply surprised by how distasteful the breakfasts were.  For a while, I even disliked ordering breakfast foods at restaurants because I found them to be

One of our favorite places to eat serves these incredible desserts in tall shot glasses and tops them off with whipped cream. I figured it couldn't be too hard to make so I set out to find the ingredients.

I just happened to have some chocolate cake lying around, so I thought I'd try my hand at these cute little desserts in a single-serving size cup. They were incredibly easy to make and would be great for a wedding or dinner party!

When my husband and I were out in California for our honeymoon, we had the pleasure of eating a variety of wonderful meals prepared by world-class chefs in the Napa Valley region.  One of my favorite meals out there was a strawberry spinach salad with candied walnuts.  It was absolutely incredible!  The ingredients were so fresh and I found myself disappointed there was not more to eat upon fini

While you can buy a decent raspberry poppy seed salad dressing at the store, I have found a delightful recipe that is easy to make and well worth the extra five minutes!  The flavors are bold and pair nicely with tart spinach and sweet strawberries.  You will not be disappointed!

My grandmother used to make these for every family gathering.  As I got older, she showed me how to make them and eventually put me in charge of them!  While they are traditionally made with corned beef, I do not usually have that particular meat around, so I started making mine with ham and they are just as tasty!  Thin sliced hard salami or a good smoked turkey works too!
And now, just as my grandmother taught me, I will pass this recipe on to you!

Every once in a while the grocery store has logs of fresh mozzarella on sale that beg to be bought and consumed. When last this happened, we purchased two logs and came up with a variety of tasty ways to incorporate them into our meals. This particular time was an experiment of condiments / sauces we had around the house, baguette bread, tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella. Check out these ideas!

I'll never forget the first time I had fish tacos. We were visiting some friends and they took us to their favorite local restaurant. It was strongly recommended to me that I try the fish tacos, and having never had them before, I agreed to give them a chance. I was not disappointed! They were incredible!
