CinnaBread!

Happy Friday everyone! What do you guys make on a Saturday morning breakfast?? Are you a fan of french toast? What about Chocolate Chip Pancakes? Or, do you make bacon and eggs? I have to admit, I love breakfast food, but I'd rather go out for breakfast than make it at home. I do make a  big breakfast from time to time, but most of the time is cereal, oatmeal, bagels or frozen waffles. And, most of the time, it's  that exact set up because each kid wants something different than the next... Except when I make this  amazing cinnabread that I am going to share with you today.  I Love the new Pillsbury "Simply" line of biscuits.. they have no trans fat, high fructose corn syrup, or artificial anything! I came up with this recipe and it's a family hit. You can pull it apart like monkey bread or slice it to see the brown sugar swirl. Put it on a cake plate, and serve it at your next brunch. Have a great weekend! xo

Rich Banana Bread

If there is one thing I make quite often, it's Banana Bread or Banana muffins. My whole family loves it and its a quick and nutritious breakfast for them. A have a favorite banana muffin recipe, a favorite banana chocolate chip bread recipe  and I was looking for another "plain" banana bread recipe. So, I came across this one and decided to give it a try. I added 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and 1/4 tsp of nutmeg because the recipe does not call for that and I feel those are staple flavors that should be in a banana bread recipe. Okay, I have said banana 8 times in this post!!  However, I have to say it one more time--- Make sure your banana's are ripe, that means BLACK people! Or else, you will not get the great flavor, and it will taste like much of nothing!
 Thanks to Lisa from Sweet as Sugar Cookies to feature Bliss n Tell and my Rich Banana Bread in her Sweets for a Saturday!

A little bit of Pumpkin Bliss

Ahhh, It's October I am in the pumpkin mood. Actually, I have been in the pumpkin mood for about a month now, but I was holding off until now. I will admit, it has been hard.. their is lots of pumpkin temptation out their! Dunkin Doughnuts has their pumpkin doughnut, Starbucks has their Pumpkin Spice latte, and all their pumpkin goodies. However, I held out until October and today I made the best pumpkin chocolate chip bread EVER! It is the moistest bread ever and the chocolate chips give it another depth of goodness.. chocolaty goodness! And, don't feel bad if you eat 2 pieces like me. There is a " Beauty Boost" pumpkin is loaded with vitamins A, C, B6 and E. The beta carotene in pumpkins can help prevent night blindness and other eye problems. It also helps enhance your immune system, and protects against colds, flu and infections. So, let's get our bake on!
