Marscapone Cheese Frosting

Sunday morning, I popped out of bed to make these cinnamon rolls. I know I've already posted about the Baker Chick's cinnamon rolls but they are so good that they warranted another post.  This time I changed up the frosting just a bit. Instead of cream cheese I used marscapone cheese & it was every bit as delicious, I may even like it better. 

Chris & I each had one for breakfast. Ok & then we shared one - one & a half each.  After our taste-testing I packed them up to bring them to the proud parents, Duclie & Brian, big brother of the newest TWINS in our family! And since food tastes better when it's shared we brought some to Chris's parents house too to share with more family. There were no leftovers which translates to SUCCESS!

Reality Bites Banana Bread

This weekend I devoured Apron Anxiety.  You must read it, especially if you're at any kind of crossroads in your life.  It's just such a fun read & I found it totally relatable.  Plus, it has delightful little recipes between chapters that are very real & very accessible even if you're just beginning in the kitchen.

I also consumed some much more caloric banana bread a la  recipe from Apron Anxiety. I had a bunch of overripe bananas so I doubled the recipe & poured the batter into a bundt pan for a large ring-like loaf.  I have to say it wasn't the traditional banana bread that I grew up with (it has chocolate chips in it!) but is still equally delicious. I added some nutmeg like my mom always did & cinnamon for some fun.
