Have you ever had a snickerdoodle?  They are slightly tangy cookies covered in cinnamon and sugar.  They have crackly tops and are excellent fresh out of the oven.

Bubble Bread

If you stayed the night at my house when I was growing up, chances are you’ve had my mom’s Bubble Bread.  The gooey rolls were always a big hit with me and my friends, and everyone always looked forward to breakfast!  These rolls are simple to put together, and delicious to devour.

Personally, I can’t wait to make them for my kid’s sleepovers!

Spicy Green Beans

I’ve mentioned a couple times before that I worked in a superior Asian/Fusion restaurant in college.  Every dish I ate there was delectable, and Spicy Green Beans was yet another dish I had to learn how to make at home.  This dish is incredible as is, but is very adaptable to your taste.  Want to make it a main dish?  Add some protein, such as chicken or shrimp, to make it a more hearty main dish.  My husband happens to love this dish with strips of crispy tofu.  This is a great dish for summer, when green beans are at their peak.  It’s also perfect because you don’t have to use the oven and heat up the kitchen.

Cinnamon Swirl Bread

Everyone needs a good recipe for cinnamon swirl bread.  I absolutely love this recipe, and I think you will as well.  The buttermilk keeps the bread moist and gives it a slight tang.  What’s better than sliced bread?  Sliced cinnamon swirl bread!

PW’s Vanilla Scones

The other day I wanted to try something a little different than my usual scones.  I can’t say that I’ve ever had any real vanilla beans on hand (I know, I’m missing out!), so I adapted a recipe from The Pioneer Woman, a.k.a. PW.

Vanilla Scones

Isn’t just great how I call her by a nickname like I know her?  Well, I don’t, but if you read her website for any amount of time, you’ll feel as if you do.  Have you ever visited her website?  She’s an absolute riot, and knows how to whip up a good recipe or two.  Or maybe thousands.  I mean, she does have her own cookbook, after all!
