Another month has flown by and it's Muffin Monday again! This month's recipe is brought to you in part by my husband who buys variety packs of oatmeal but doesn't like one flavor that's in it. They were stacking up in the cabinet so I went searching the Taste of Home site for a way to use them up.
If there's one thing that's always a hit around here it's cupcakes. They're fun to make and there are so many different variations! I had some buttermilk left over from making biscuits so I searched the Taste of Home site and found fellow Granite Stater Ellen M's Buttermilk Chocolate Cupcakes.
Chocolate Week continues and today I'm sharing Chocolate Cinnamon Rolls. I found Rita L's recipe on the Taste of Home website and it's helped me to make another step forward in conquering my fear of yeast baking. I made no changes to the recipe but I can share a few tips in the actual process that I used.
It's Chocolate Week! Today through the 28th some foodie friends and I will be celebrating all things chocolate. First up, I made fellow Taste of Home Community Cook Susan G's Chocolate Caramels. Candy making can seem intimidating, but the two most important things are a good thermometer and a block of uninterrupted time.
I'm always on the lookout for easy, economical family pleasing recipes. These Lil Cheddar Meat Loaves from Taste of Home are a perfect example of that.
January is National Oatmeal Month and today I'm celebrating all things oats with some of my foodie friends! I am a huge fan of oats in all forms, baked, overnight, in cookies, and this week I tried out these Brown Sugar Oatmeal Pancakes from Taste of Home.
I know, I hear you saying it, "Sweet potatoes for BREAKFAST?" I thought it too when I saw the recipe on the Taste of Home site. But sweet potatoes are filling, loaded with Vitamin A and other vitamins and minerals.
This month's Taste of Home Bakeable Challenge was Fran T's Homemade Buttermilk Biscuits. We are huge biscuit fans but I rarely make them from scratch. Once I saw how easy this recipe was I decided to give it a try. I used my Kitchen Aid mixer to bring the ingredients together.
Finally getting back into the swing of things after a crazy few weeks and I'm trying tons of new recipes that I can't wait to share with you all! I bought some blueberries for another recipe and had some left over but I didn't want to do more baking. I searched the Taste of Home site and found Kim F's Blueberry Oatmeal Smoothies.
Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband.
I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try. They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.
