These Hawaiian rolls are super soft and fluffy inside. Slightly sweet with a touch of pineapple flavor they make great dinner rolls and slider buns. Best of all this Hawaiian sweet roll recipe is just 4 ingredients and super easy to make. In last week’s Cuban ham salad post I promised that I’d share the recipe for the rolls that were pictured. These are them. These Hawaiian rolls have become a family favorite. They are super easy to make, with…

It’s time for another Yum of the Month round up! This month it was my turn to choose our theme. Let’s see, the first week of October, what could I possibly choose? Of course I chose pumpkin spice. I’m not the world’s biggest pumpkin spice fiend, but I definitely get into seasonal baking. There are some people who get really into seasonal decorations and keep their houses looking beautiful inside and out (like my neighbors.) Meanwhile my house always seems…

Soft and golden. Hearty and flavorful. These Caramelized Onion Buns are a match made in heaven for your hamburgers and sandwiches. Pile on the roast beef for an out of this world French dip! Anyway you slice it, you’ll never want to go back to boring store bought buns after having one of these fresh from the oven. My sister and I spent a lot of time with our Auntie Marilyn in the summers as kids. The best way to…

Invoking thoughts of summer and sunflowers, this Sunflower bread is an easy multi-grain bread, slightly sweet and a bit nutty, altogether enjoyable. I hope that you all had a most wonderful Christmas. I did not. I spent all of the holiday sick or tending to sick kids. We played pass the strep throat and it got most of the way through my household. There are no winners in this game.  It was awful stuff, and unfortunately because of the holiday,…

This garlic cheese focaccia bread is light and tender. Soaked with butter, garlic, herbs and cheese, it’s perfect for sopping up extra marinara sauce or the tail ends of the soup in your bowl. Be careful with this recipe. Fair warning, if you make it once you’ll probably be hooked.  Oy vey. I’ve tried to write the post for this Garlic Cheese Focaccia bread recipe like 4 times, but nothing seems to be right. It’s been a weird week. Monday…

Pillow soft inside, crispy, buttery and cheesy on the outside, these asiago cheese soft pretzels come together in 30 minutes. Goodness gracious. I’ve spent this whole week a day behind. I thought yesterday was Wednesday, but I was so rudely roused from that delusion at bedtime, discovering that it was really Thursday. And here I was feeling so proud because I’d felt like I’d gotten so much accomplished. Do you ever have weeks like those?   Throughout the summer, I…

Today’s post might get a little heavy, it does delve into some really deeply personal parts of my life that I don’t usually talk about much.  To balance it out, later I’ve got a light, fluffy popover recipe to go with it. Balance is key in life, right?   So today I thought I’d write about…writing.  When I was in school I hated writing.  I guess I hated it because it took so much time and it took so much…

The other night we were eating dinner and the conversation my kids were having got me so tickled.  I can’t remember what was on the table, but one of them said, “This is awesome! Every thing our Mom cooks is great!” Another, one of the boys that thoroughly enjoys pestering his brothers, responded with, “But what if she peeled a whole onion and put it on our plates and said this is what’s for dinner? Now, eat it all up!”…
