Living in a Cereal World

I know it's a week late but I still wanted to squeeze this in before the new year. 😁 Two new cookies this year:  Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll  from Minimalist Baker (which I didn't glaze because I thought they were sweet enough even though  that takes away from their cinnamon roll-ness) and  Easy Jam Thumbprints  from Delish. I can't believe I'd never made a thumbprint cookie before. Mine are filled with raspberry fruit spread and peach-apricot jam. The other ones are your basic Pillsbury sugar cookie dough, which was a last-minute swap. Otherwise I could've attempted one of the (too many!) sugar cookie recipes I have. So after making and freezing a cookie every Sunday I still made two pies on Christmas Eve. First, this  Pumpkin Pie  that I also made last year because it really is that good, and second, this: Brown Sugar Peach Crumble Pie  from Sally's Baking Addiction. I went one pie plate size too high for both pies but that didn't affect ...

When you were a kid, did you ever wish you could pour yourself a bowl of Crunch N Munch with milk for breakfast? Well, you're in luck, because now you can. And I mean that in a good way. (By the way, what's with the apostrophe placement? I would've put it after  the N. Or maybe on both sides.) Anyway, this cereal. Of course any Cheerios variety that starts with MultiGrain Cheerios as the base is already plus one in my grade book. But then you add the honey flavor and use it to plaster individual oats to each O and give it a satisfying crunch? Come on. That's not right. I mean it is  right, but how dare you sneak in here with my new favorite cereal of 2019, General Mills? 😄 I don't remember what I said about the original cinnamon flavor (just checked: wasn't overwhelmed or underwhelmed, more just...whelmed) but this? This is a must try. 👍 ***** Hope you're enjoying your respective holidays!

Yeah, it's been a week, but you know I always share what I make for Thanksgiving (and may have finished Wednesday 😁). I had every intention of making this  Apple Cheddar Pie  correctly but I knew I was going to run out of time to make the pie crust. So it's a apple pie with a teensy bit of cheddar inside. 😜 (Please excuse the phone shadows; I didn't have time to set this up better!) Second dessert, not the same as the first. I made my belated birthday cake this year's other offering:  Pumpkin Cream Cheese Coffee Cake . It's dessert, it's breakfast, it's the best . Oh, and I swapped out the pecan topping for this  Oat Streusel . It was the perfect amount for this springform pan size.
