Throwback post: Originally posted May 12, 2010. Pictures updated March 8, 2021. The post and buttermilk biscuits recipe remain the same.

Well, it’s official. That future therapy fund for my kids that I have been contributing to since their birth is definitely going to be used. Ella, my three-year-old, just informed me that I am messing up her life. Yep… at 3, she is already talking like a fifteen-year-old who can’t stand her mom.

Funny thing is, when she told me that I was messing up her life, my imagination immediately pictured her as a teenager (she looked a lot like a gum-chewing Cyndi Lauper). I have a feeling I have interesting several years ahead for me with this one. I think I’ll up the contribution for her therapy fund, pronto….

Recipe: The Best Buttery Dinner Rolls

Kristen — Thu, 14 Nov 2019 17:48:56 +0000

This is our all-time favorite best Buttery Dinner Rolls recipe made with instant yeast in your bread machine or by hand. This is definitely a staple for holidays and family dinners in our house!

Like many young people, who leave the nest and head off to college, I gained the “Freshman Fifteen”. I can pinpoint my extra pounds to one thing… it certainly wasn’t from the not so great dorm food. It wasn’t even because I partied hard and consumed my calories in beer. Just about every single extra pound came from the most delicious, fluffy, buttery soft dinner rolls at the restaurant where I waitressed.

Pull Apart Bread with Cheese and Olives

Kristen — Tue, 27 Nov 2018 22:18:08 +0000

Pull Apart Bread with Cabot Creamery 5 Cheese Italian Shredded Cheese is a cheese and bread lovers dream! Create the dough in the bread machine to make this recipe extra simple.

I remember the very first time I tried pull apart bread. I was a freshman in college and our student union made the most amazing little fan bread loaves. Students would walk into the union and be overwhelmed with the aroma of fresh baked bread. To further entice us, the little “individual” loaves of homemade bread were packaged in see through plastic sleeves. The sleeves were steam filled, so you knew your little pull apart loaf of bread was hot and fresh.

I’ll admit to pretty much living off of homemade pull apart bread when I was in college. In fact, between these student union fan loaves and the buttery dinner rolls from the restaurant I worked at, I’m not sure I ate much else.

I visited my college campus many years later, highly anticipating the bakery science department was still serving fresh, dreamy fan loaves. My disappointment was evident when there were no fresh bread loaves to be found. Anywhere. What’s a foodie to do when she can’t buy what she wants? She heads home and makes it herself!…

Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

Kristen — Fri, 16 Nov 2018 16:47:03 +0000

Originally published on December 23rd, 2011 (when my babies were so little). I’m re-publishing it today because this recipe is so good and the memories in this post are some of my favorites!

These big, fluffy, homemade cinnamon rolls have been a part of our Christmas morning for years and years.

The dough is made in your bread machine, which makes it super easy!

There are just a couple more days until Christmas! This morning, as I sit by the light of the Christmas tree, with presents wrapped (ahead of time, which NEVER happens) I can’t help but feel so grateful for all of the blessings in my life. Our family is healthy, our friends are plenty, and life is just really, really good right now.

I love Christmas, for a multitude of reasons, but mostly because it is a season full of traditions. I love all of the traditions we have developed around Christmas within my own family, like these homemade cinnamon rolls. The traditions have become so important to my kids as well. Like Nick and I, they look forward to the traditions we’ve created as much as we do. It really warms my heart so much….

Holiday Oatmeal Eggnog Muffins Recipe

Kristen — Tue, 05 Dec 2017 15:59:25 +0000

These simple Oatmeal Eggnog Muffins are sure to get you in a festive mood!

It’s that time of year again. You know, where I buy a carton of eggnog because I really think I love it. Then I have my first official glass of the season, feel immediately ill from how rich it is, and end up with an entire carton of eggnog in my fridge I don’t know what to do with.

I love the flavor of eggnog, and maybe a small sip should be my limit, but I’ll continue to buy eggnog year after year. I love having the leftovers to use in eggnog desserts and baked goods. This season, my leftover eggnog got the muffin treatment with these simple oatmeal eggnog muffins. Oh so good!…

Crunchy Grape Nuts Muffins Recipe

Kristen — Mon, 26 Sep 2016 17:09:20 +0000

Grape Nuts Muffins are a tasty muffin with a delicious crunch!

I opened my pantry this past week to find five 3/4 eaten boxes of cereal and a kitchen full of kids saying we had nothing to eat.

I usually make a big breakfast for my kids before school, but this particular morning I was running behind and told my kids to just grab some cereal. Every single one of them came back to me saying “but there isn’t any cereal…we have nothing to eat!”. So, apparently FIVE boxes of cereal with cereal STILL IN THEM doesn’t count as food? Am I the only house this happens in? Seriously, what is wrong with the last 1/4 box of cereal? Can someone explain that to me? It never fails with cereal and bread, no one wants to eat the last bit left. I don’t get it.

Salted Caramel Rolls Recipe

Kristen — Wed, 16 Mar 2016 14:00:35 +0000

Making homemade sweet rolls is easier than you think. Make your Easter holiday extra special with this Salted Caramel Rolls recipe adapted from the Karo® Syrup website.

Friends, how can Easter be just around the corner? I have no idea where 2016 is going in such a hurry, but I sure wish it would slow down!

Even though it’s hard to believe, Easter is almost here, which means it’s time to start thinking about what delicious food you will be serving up. Whether it be something for just your family, or you want to bake a little extra for friends and neighbors to show how much you care, making your Easter meal special doesn’t have to be complicated.

Take these Salted Caramel Rolls, for example. Big, fluffy, tender caramel rolls are really quite doable, even if you’ve never made a sweet roll of any kind before. The secret is to use Fleischmann’s® RapidRise™ Yeast. It saves time by only requiring one rise and you can make this dough ahead of time and refrigerate overnight to bake when ready!

Hearty Muffin Recipe with Walnuts, Oats and Applesauce

Kristen — Mon, 22 Feb 2016 18:57:12 +0000

This “heart”y heart healthy muffin recipe is full of great ingredients, like Fisher Walnuts, Oatmeal and Applesauce!

It’s funny how our tastes change as we get older, isn’t it? I used to hate having things in my muffins. In fact, I used to pretty much make muffins that resembled as close to a breakfast cupcake as possible. Plain Jane muffins, delicious, but not really substantial.

As I’ve aged, I’ve realized I want more out of my breakfast. Instead of something that’s filling, I want a hearty breakfast with substance to sustain me until lunch time. Those breakfast cupcake muffins I used to make weren’t going to cut it. I needed a muffin recipe full of good for me ingredients that also doubled as a filling and substantial start to my day….
