A light and airy cinnamon cake frosted with the fluffiest, creamiest chile chocolate buttercream. Here’s the thing. This post is all about the buttercream. The buttercream, it is so stinking good.

Fall Pavlova with Caramelized Apples and Cinnamon Whipped Cream
Posted on November 4, 2015
A special Thanksgiving dessert that happens to be gluten-free. This fall inspired pavlova is layered with cinnamon whipped cream and caramelized apples.

A kid-friendly breakfast or snack, these healthy apple muffins are made with whole wheat flour and naturally sweetened! When I think back to the first month after L was born, it comes back as a haze.

Cinnamon Chip Oatmeal Blondies
Posted on June 8, 2015
Chewy gooey blondies loaded with sweet cinnamon chips. Until this, I hadn't made Blondies since L was born. Which is a shame. Because 1) blondies are really my thing and 2) they are pretty much the easiest way to bake for a crowd. After churning out hundreds and thousands of them for a couple of…

Lightly sweetened pumpkin scones filled with rich and flavorful cinnamon chips.

Giant Caramel Apple Cinnamon Bun with Cream Cheese Glaze
Posted on September 10, 2014
This giant cinnamon roll is oozing with a gooey caramel apple and topped with a perfect cream cheese glaze. I think Matt put it perfectly when he said, “You know how when you eat a cinnamon roll and the middle is the best part? This is like getting almost only the middle!” Seriously, though. I’ve…

Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Cheesecake
Posted on November 25, 2012
Last night was my 10-year high school reunion. I didn’t really know what to expect, but for some reason I was a little nervous about going. There was the whole cliché of wanting to look good, which isn’t all that convenient two days after Thanksgiving, but I also wondered if it would be all that…
Apple Cinnamon Blondies
Posted on September 4, 2012
I always thought that summer was my favorite season, but this year I can’t wait for the temperature to go down a bit. Maybe it was the ultra-hot weather this summer that was more conducive to air conditioning than afternoon walks. I’m not quite sure, but whatever it is I’m ready for fall. And in…
Brown Sugar Cupcakes with Cinnamon Ginger Buttercream and Ginger Cookie Pecan Brittle
Posted on August 26, 2012
Moist brown sugar cupcakes topped with a flavorful buttercream and surprise brittle topping. Sometimes it is easy to get in a rut. A cookie rut. An exercise rut.

Chewy Gooey Cinnamon Toffee Blondies {Guest Post}
Posted on January 5, 2012
Sorry, guys. I tried to be nice but I just couldn’t keep these from you any longer. I know, you are barely a week into your resolutions and trying to stay strong, but put down your carrot stick, break out your whisk (no mixer required), and make a batch of these. Your mouth will immediately…
Rugelach, Three Ways
Posted on December 22, 2011
I decided to get a little crazy with my last holiday cookie. Rugelach is a traditional Jewish dessert, perfect for Channukah. However, I’m pretty sure that these would be welcome on any Christmas table as well. So instead of making a traditional version of rugelach, I took the basic cream cheese dough and added a…
Lighter Carrot Snack Cake with Cream Cheese Icing
Posted on December 8, 2011
Ok, I'm going to be honest. I'm posting a recipe for carrot cake and I don't even like carrot cake. You see, I really thought I did. Moist cake slathered in cream cheese icing, how could it be bad? Well, of course my version that I thought I would like is void of raisins, walnuts…
Caramel Apple Cake Trifle and Giveaway!
Posted on November 27, 2011
I don’t know about you, but I am swimming in leftovers. The thing is, I can’t decide if it is a good or bad thing. I have plenty of food to get us through the next few days. But really, how much turkey can one person eat? If only I could get sick of cookies…
Cinnamon & Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Pie Cookies
Posted on October 9, 2011
Things have been crazy around here lately. I know I say this a lot, but after the busy summer, things never really slowed down.

Whole Wheat Maple Walnut Spice Cookies
Posted on September 7, 2011
Along with pumpkin muffins the other night, I had these cookies going in and out of the oven. I have to admit, I don’t usually like walnuts in my desserts (keep them away from my fudgey brownies, please), but these Whole Wheat Maple Walnut Spice Cookies just sounded so appealing. Maybe it is the fact…
Accidentally Scuffins
Posted on March 24, 2011
Sometimes recipe experiments don’t work out. Sometimes they work, just a little differently than you expect. I set out to make scones, but I ended up with scuffins! A scuffin is basically the hybrid of a scone and a muffin. These Cinnamon Apple Chunk Scuffins are hearty, chewy, and flavorful. Like scones, they aren’t too…
Cinnamon Swirl
Posted on February 25, 2011
I love cinnamon. I use it in my oatmeal, yogurt, cottage cheese and even to season my sweet potatoes. Cinnamon supposedly increases your metabolism, but at the rate I consume it, that means I should be burning fat like nobody’s business. Hmm, not so much. Regardless, it tastes delicious and is especially delightful in the…
