Jumers Cinnamon Rolls

IMG_1556

Ahh its been awhile but here I am just in time for some christmas time treats. Jumers Cinnamon rolls as a kid were basically my holy grail of deserts. I seriously would stuff myself full of these things. Being that my Dad worked at a Jumers I was naturally there quite a lot. On weekends we would head to bloomington (my sister and I) and spend the weekend with my dad. What was cool is we would stay in the hotel everyonce in awhile. Now as a kid that was always a fun time. Friday night we would eat in the restaurant which like the hotel was awesome. Every dinner they would serve these rolls and I would just eat and eat. Sat. morning we would wake up and get breakfast and just like before we would grab these cinnamon rolls. They were just so good. Well its many years later and finally I have tried my best to replicate what I remember as a kid. I do believe I have gotten very close and will prolly modify it here in the future but for now here it is.

Peanut Butter Banana Stuffed French Toast

IMG_1496

Jimmy one day on facebook was raving about some show he saw on the Food Network. Saying how awesome this french toast looked and so forth. Of course it had Peanut Butter on it his fave and he wanted it. So i thought being the nice person I am that I would make it for him. It was quite easy to make and didn’t take long at all. Really its just a french toast on steroids.

Banana Bread w/ Cinnamon Streusel Oats Topping

IMG_1485

Walking through the store the other night with my wife and we came to the bananas. I decided I would attempt some Banana Bread. Now I didn’t have a recipe so I scoured the internet for what I thought would be the best one. Well they were basically all the same. So I took a basic one and added my own touches. This is a really really easy thing to make and doesn’t take much time to prep.

Professional Hiatus

Well from now until probably most likely the end of May I will not be baking or cooking as much as I would like if at all. I’m in Minneapolis this weekend and then will be packing up my house for our move at the end of next week. With our new house needing much renovation I won’t have a kitchen for at least a week but I’m going to assume it will be longer then that. So please don’t forget about me check back in June for those recipes to be put back up.
I will try to post reviews of places while i’m out though. As well I think i have a couple of recipes I haven’t posted yet so I will get those up.

Thanks to all my readers out there.

Peanut Butter Chicken

img_1374

Peanut butter chicken is one of my favorites to make for its simplicity and just down right good taste. Now obviously if you don’t like peanut butter you will not like this. This is an asian inspired meal with a little american kick. Now with all my hot things the hot sauce is something that can be reduced but for this one I wouldn’t take it completely out. I saw a peanut butter chicken in a Mens Health Magazine and thought that I could handle figuring it out and this is what I came up with. My first couple were pour in some of this and some of that so I have tried to get my best guesstimates of how much of what is in the sauce.

Egg & Bacon Toast Cups

img_1421Now lets just set the record straight. First off I hate eggs. Unless they are thoroughly mixed into a batter. What you are about to learn how to make I in no way want to even taste it. I do however have a wife that loves eggs in the morning so I make them for her. I also found this recipe and thought it would be a fun one to try. Especially for those who have kids these little cups are a great little breakfast treat. Lets just say this is simple and very quick to make. It requires little skill to make so most if not all of you can make it. I found this recipe from www.foodgawker.com on The Noshery

Buttermilk Blueberry Pancakes with Maple Butter /also chocolate chip pancakes

img_1329Who doesn’t like a good pancake. This is actually one of the few breakfast items that I normally don’t ever eat at its designated time. I almost always have these for dinner rather the a breakfast. Part of it has to do with the fact that syrup is too sweet for me in the morning. However I love a good Maple Syrup. My wife on the other hand loves her plastic bottle mass produced yuck in a bottle. LOL We actually have to have both cause I will not use hers and she will not use mine. Its kind of nice that way. Not to mention I like blueberry and she likes chocolate chip so we also have different pancakes. I have that picture posted towards the bottom. So I decided instead of buying the bisquick pancake in a shaker thing I would give an attempt at making some. Let me tell you I won’t do it any other way. They are easy to make and taste so much better. Not to mention the fluffiness and lightness of these hotcakes were awesome.
