Peach Bundt Cake

July 24, 2020 Amanda Plott

One of my favorite things about summer is peaches. I don’t know about anywhere else, but here in Texas locals come out in droves selling them at the side of the road. This year, I haven’t gone anywhere to see any. But, my local grocery store thankfully has ‘Texas Peaches’ on hand from local vendors so that I was more easily and safely able to get my peach fix this year.

This cake is truly one of the most moist and deliciously each cakes out there. The peach juices and fresh peach really take this simple and easy to make cake to the next level. It would be just as good as part of a breakfast or brunch, as it would be for dessert!…

Frozen S'more Bars

Look, it’s freakin’ hot out ya’ll. It’s so hot that even if I could make traditional s’mores, I don’t think I’d enjoy them quite the same. Eating hot food during the heat of the Texas summer just… isn’t the most novel idea. With that being said, I’ve had frozen hot chocolate before, so why not frozen s’mores?

These s’mores are every bit as delicious as traditional s’mores. That’s because they’re made with the same basic things, just with a few minor adjustments to be freezer fun and friendly…

Baked Caramel Apple Pie Taquitos

As American as apple pie…? I don’t know about you, but it’s been a good long while since I had an apple pie. Much less made one. And being as I’m Texas girl? I’ll stick with these Baked Caramel Apple Pie Taquitos!

Homemade apple pie filling is rolled up together with a creamy caramel filling and then dusted with cinnamon sugar for a perfectly simple take on apple pie, Tex-Mex style! These apple pie bites of goodness would be great as a part of breakfast (or brunch), or as dessert…

Milk & Cereal Cinnamon Rolls

In case you missed it, cereal milk is becoming a fairly popular thing. You know what I’m talking about, the milk that’s leftover in the bowl after enjoying cereal. It’s got little bits of cereal in it and is slightly sweetened and flavored by the cereal of choice. Yum…

When I decided on cinnamon rolls for breakfast, I looked through the pantry and saw some fruity cereal sitting there, waiting to be used. I knew exactly what to do. Milk and cereal cinnamon rolls!…

No Bake Circus Animal Cookie Cheesecake

June 9, 2020 Amanda Plott

It’s getting hot here. Hot as in… we’re already breaking heat records here in Texas. Gross. That being said, it’s time to start using the stove and oven less, and instead focus on meals and recipes that don’t require any heat! While I’m still busy using up pantry staples I thought it would be a great time to use up some old circus animal cookies that I’ve had stocked away from Halloween truck-or-treating.

So, what do you do with leftover cookies and no heat? You turn them into a no bake cheesecake! This is a scratch no bake cheesecake. Not made with that boxed mix from the store. Nope! Turns out you don’t need a pre-packaged box to make a proper no bake cheesecake…

Cookies & Cream Cinnamon Rolls

May 31, 2020 Amanda Plott

These homemade cinnamon rolls are as a delicious take on combining two things I love. Cinnamon rolls and chocolate sandwich cookies! Now, I’ll be the first to admit that the cinnamon roll turning brown-brown wasn’t my initial plan. I thought with adding some of the crushed up cookie bits that the dough would end up flecked with cookies. Instead it just gave it a light brown tinge and a light chocolate taste.

In the end, I was happy with it for the flavor if nothing else…
