Quick & Easy Cinnamon Roll…muffins!!
Happy Martin Luther King Day! So far the day has been fabulous! I was able to sleep in until 10:30am. I was catching up from my lack of sleep while I was at Rina’s. I think we stayed up until after 2am. What’s sad is that’s really early for a weekend at Rina’s. We usually stay up a lot later. Anyhow, when I woke up this morning I was starving! AND craving cinnamon rolls. So, I found this recipe on one of my new favorite food blogs! It was really easy and fast. I can’t say I’d ever replace this for the real thing…but it will definitely be my new go to for quick cinnamon roll cravings! Enjoy!

I woke up way too early this cold and foggy Saturday morning. I had a home visit in Lewiston at 9am. Needless to say I was late because I couldn’t see the turn off this morning because it was so foggy. So I actually crossed state lines into Idaho before I could see well enough to turn myself around. When I got to my appointment I had to wait for awhile because Reyna (She works with me and was going to translate) wasn’t there yet. I figured it was because of the weather. Anyhow, I think it was about 9:15 when I decided I would just go ahead and go to the appointment by myself because Reyna hadn’t shown up yet and I didn’t want to ditch the appointment. When I knocked on the door the mother was so kind. She and I had a hard time...

These are my husband, Jon’s, favorite cookies! He LOVES chocolate chip cookies. One night (midnight) we were watching Alton Brown’s, Good Eats, on the Food Network. His entire show was on chocolate chip cookies. He made thin, chewy and puffy chocolate chip cookies. What I loved was that all three recipes were based on the Nestle Toll House recipe. He showed that a few slight variations created three totally different cookies. Anyhow, Jon and I love chewy cookies so we tried it…probably the next day. When I made them for the first time we couldn’t stop eating them. I promise you these are DELICIOUS!! The only variation I’ve ever made is the type of chips. My favorite is semi-sweet, but you can use milk chocolate or whatever you...

Ok…so I found this recipe a long time ago on one of my favorite food blogs. Anyhow, I finally had a chance to make it! It was so delicious.

So, Jon and I have been moving for the last couple of days and its been pretty boring. You know, all work and no play…not my idea of fun.

It’s called Ooey-Gooey S’more Bars…I got the recipe off my friend Amy’s blog. Oh boy were they delicious!
