NordicWare sent this adorable Apple Slice Cakelet Pan so I could try out a yummy apple recipe!

I ended up adapting the recipe included on the pan a bit to make some apple muffins to take to work with me as a little treat for my co-workers!

I’m always a little worried when I use a pan I can’t line with parchment, but the non-stick feature on the cakelet pan is no joke!  When sprayed with cooking spray, I had absolutely no sticking and the design imprinted perfectly!

It’s the last day of pumpkin week and I saved the best for last!

The inspiration for this recipe came from a video I saw on Facebook.  I was super intrigued by pumpkin shaped rolls and decided to make them!

Then I realized that the recipe was for sweet rolls and I wasn’t super impressed with the filling.  So I decided to add cinnamon and sugar and make it most frosting-like.

Paleo Banana Cake (Gluten-Free) #FantasticalFoodFight #FoodNFlix

Today’s recipe is doing double duty and pulls form three different inspirations.

First, it’s this month’s Fantastical Food Fight with the theme of bananas!  If one lives on the Kentucky/Tennessee border there is even an annual banana festival this weekend!  So, I knew I had to make something with bananas – definitely a dessert, I thought.

Second, I volunteered to bake treats for Dude’s class.  One of Dude’s classmates is gluten sensitive, so I always try to be considerate of that.  I thought that these treats would be the perfect way to use bananas in a recipe.

Third, this September is the 9^th anniversary of Food n Flix and to celebrate, we could watch any of the previously chosen movies to use as inspiration.  I went on the hunt for something I hadn’t seen, that seemed interesting, and that I could find on Netflix or Amazon Prime.  And that’s how I stumbled upon Toast.

Today I decided to go the savory route.

Have you ever noticed that, even when pumpkin is being used as a savory ingredient (especially in soup) that cinnamon and sugar still end up being involved?

I can’t handle stuff like that – it is just too much for my palate to comprehend!

Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls #pumpkinweek

Today’s delicious recipe is sponsored by Dixie Crystals

Dixie Crystals is always a generous sponsor, so with lots of sugar on hand, I couldn’t not bake something!  So, when my boss asked for volunteers to bring breakfast to our beginning of the year meetings, I jumped on the opportunity!

This also, sadly, means that I have some rushed on-the-way-out-the-door and cell phone pictures of the finished product, but suffice to say that the still-warm pumpkin cinnamon rolls were enough for some co-workers to declare me a hero for bringing them!

These rolls have two baking options, depending on your level of morning perkiness.

You may want to get up early and make these rolls with a smile on your face for your adoring family.  

#PumpkinWeek 2018 Welcome & Pumpkin Roundup!

Who’s ready for fall?

In all honesty, I’m a summer girl – I love me some heat and sunshine.  Having summers off doesn’t hurt either.

But there is something nice about fall – cooler nights, campfires, the pumpkin patch, and of course the baking!

Woohoo!  The fall baked goods are seriously the best thing about fall! 

How about all things pumpkin??

Before we get things started off tomorrow with new recipes, I thought it would be fun to revisit all the previous pumpkin deliciousness!

Argentinian Chimichurri Sauce #EatTheWorld

It’s time for this month’s Eat the World recipe challenge and we’re heading to Argentina!

As I was researching, I was surprised to find out that there are quite a few Italian influences in the cooking – yet with even more cheese than we add in the US!

As I kept looking, I was reminded that my favorite wine comes from Argentina: Malbec!  I sadly did not have any Malbec on hand when I made my recipe, because it would have been a great addition to the meal!
