You all know how much I cherish my morning coffee time. I actually go to bed looking forward to my morning cup, especially in the fall when I can get great creamer flavors like Pumpkin Spice & one of my favorites, Caramel Macchiato.
Something about caramel when it’s chilly outside just makes me feel all warm & cozy. So of course I like to add that great flavor to as many things as I can – like these homemade cinnamon rolls.
coffee cinnamon roll recipe
I love making little goodies to have with our coffee on the weekends. Most mornings it’s just coffee while we get straight to work- even on the weekends.
However there are some weekends where we have a few moments of peace where we can sip alongside a tasty little goodie. Those are the mornings I cherish most, which is why I made this super simple no-rise recipe for cinnamon rolls.
I don’t have a whole lot of time & I certainly have very little patience when it comes to making treats. I like it quick, simple & delicious whenever possible. So I’m so in love with this recipe – I don’t know why it was buried in my recipe cabinet. I tucked it away & completely forgot about it.
Once in a while I would remember & think “gee, I should make those” & then life & schedules took over & it never really happened. Until I was organizing & found it. I immediately got to making them. I didn’t want to forget again. The hubs was sure happy & we had a lovely coffee time this weekend.
Just a little bit of this Caramel Macchiato creamer & it takes these cinnamon rolls to whole new level of delicious.
You absolutely must give them a try!!! They will be your new favorite too.

Cannoli Pancakes
If you love a good Cannoli, then you will love these easy Cannoli Pancakes! Deliciously decadent but easy breakfast idea to bring big smiles!
So the other day I had some Cannoli filling left over from some other recipes I was working on. I started thinking of ways I could use it – I certainly couldn’t let it go to waste.
Then it hit me. One thing I do almost as good as dessert is an over the top breakfast idea.
Probably because I firmly believe that a breakfast that can rival the best dessert is a great way to start the day. That’s when I decided that the cannoli filling would be fabulous in Cannoli pancakes. I was sooooo right!
Oh boy. The hubs was sure happy that he was home on the day I made these. Usually he’s missing when it comes to deciding who’s going to get to eat some of the things I make.
The kids luck out most of the time. But on this day – he & I split this stack of delicious pancakes. I was in heaven. He looked at me & said “it’s a good thing I usually miss recipes like these around here”.
That’s probably true – because we would make certain things a lot more frequently if he were able to try them. 🙂 But in this case – these are the perfect easy breakfast recipe to make for the most special of guests & definitely for special occasions or holidays. I can’t wait to make them again.
What special occasion would you make these for?

Looking for a few moments to yourself? With the rush of life it can be hard to carve out just 10 minutes of peace each day. But today I’m sharing with you one of my favorite ways to start my day with just 10 minutes before the rest of the house awakens. I make this Iced Coffee Protein Shake, made with delicious mocha iced coffee, frozen bananas & protein powder. A great way to start the day.
Moments to myself won’t happen unless I make them happen, which is why I love the simplicity of this shake. I can pack in breakfast along with my morning pick-me-up. It whips together in the blender in about 30 seconds, which leave me about 9.5 minutes to have some quiet all to myself. It’s not long after that the rest of the family starts emerging from their rooms.
In the summer months when the sun is up around 4:30 – I grab my shake in my travel mug & head out to the porch to enjoy the early morning. I love the warmth of the early morning sun for a few minutes to help get me ready for my day before I head up to the studio.

These Oatmeal Date Protein Muffins are so delicious. You won’t feel like you are eating something good for you. Full of oats & nutritious protein powder. Start your morning right with these healthy breakfast ideas.
Don’t miss our Basic Muffin Recipe for making all your favorite flavors!
Healthy breakfast ideas are always on the forefront of my mind. We are still doing homemade breakfast items & when I can add a new ingredient in a new way to give them more uumph I’m all for it. With these breakfast muffins I added a secret ingredient – some EAS Whey Protein Powder. EAS is the protein supplement that can be added to an already-healthy lifestyle. I love this because we use these protein powders in shakes & smoothies all the time. They are great first thing in the morning & after the gym in the evenings.
I picked up mine during my weekly Target run. I was already running through about 10 different recipes in my head that I planned on making with my new vanilla flavor. I have had a large container of chocolate & I was excited for some new flavors to blend.
I like packing as much protein into our daily meals as I can. A little scoop into different recipes is an easy way to do this. It really helps us reach our daily protein needs.
Just toss it all in the bowl, mix & portion into your muffin tins. Bake & done!
Now through may 23rd you can grab 5% off any EAS item through cartwheel!

Oreo Cake Mix Donuts
Oreo Cake Mix Donuts, Moist & light milk chocolate donuts made simply from cake mix & topped with a cream glaze & crumbled Oreo Cookies. Great Breakfast!
I love having donuts with my coffee on the weekends. Unfortunately it doesn’t happen all that often. Which I suppose is good for me but I still want them.
We have a pretty good donut shop here close to the house. The problem is they are usually cleaned out pretty quickly. So unless I can convince the hubs to get out the door & pick some up as soon as we get up at 5 – it’s slim pickin’s once we get there.
But when I do get there on time I always pick the Oreo-topped chocolate donuts. So since I can’t always get over there I decided to make my own Oreo Cake Mix Donuts & you know what?? They were SO GOOD!
Blueberry White Chocolate Pancake Muffins
These super tasty Blueberry White Chocolate Pancake Muffins will be your favorite easy breakfast recipe. Using pancake mix makes these whip up quick.
I love quick & easy breakfast ideas. I have been doing nothing but homemade breakfasts for the kids for a couple of years now. So I’m always trying to come up with new & fun ways to make breakfast exciting.
One can only have so many bowls of oatmeal or slices of banana bread before they start wanting more. So I decided to play with some recipes for pancake muffins. You know – muffins made from pancake mix. I know- it’s pretty cool. I started with their favorite flavor combos & we all were in love.
Our favorite of all – these Blueberry White Chocolate Pancake Muffins. I normally pair white chocolate with raspberries – so twisting it a little & doing blueberries added a yummy zing to the morning.
The recipe makes 12 which meant that for my very hungry teens they were gone- quick! Like – these only lasted about a day. Yeah, pop & go with a little fruit on the side.
Great breakfast that we will be making again & again. PLUS it’s not to complicated so the older two could reasonably make these on their own if I needed them to.

It’s so easy when so many things taste so great mixed in to things like Greek yogurt. One of the favorites around here these days is this Pistachio & Honey Parfait.

Caramel Marshmallow Baked French Toast
Caramel Marshmallow Baked French Toast is an easy-to-make breakfast recipe for those that love breakfast casseroles. Simple and delicious!
So ever since I made my Blueberry Backed French Toast a couple weeks ago I have been dying to make some more. The kids scarfed down the whole thing & the hubs never even had the chance to try it.
So I promised I would make some more – I mean, it’s an easy breakfast recipe so why not? Only I decided to make it a little different.
I canned the blueberry idea & swapped it out for caramel & marshmallows. Yep! I created this Caramel Marshmallow Baked French Toast that was out of this world. It was every bit as good as it sounds & all of us had a chance to enjoy it this time.
I think I love baked french toast so much because I can whip it up – cover it & pop it in the fridge at any point in the day.
Then the next day I can either pop it in the oven when the hubs heads out for work or the kids can do it when they get up. They have a fresh baked breakfast – with very little mess.
Really the ease & cleanliness of baked french toast is a HUGE plus for me.
I’m such a fan of regular french toast – but the mess & time to make it is so discouraging. Now that I have made it – I’m on a roll. Seems I’m always thinking of new & creative ways to make it even better.
The best part is that I swapped out the milk I would normally use in my baked french toast recipes & I used Caramel Marshmallow creamer instead. What a fabulous way to add a punch of flavor – delish.

Blackberry Syrup
WOW – it’s been a while since I have shared with you all a recipe for homemade syrup. It’s one of those things I make frequently as it’s so good on more than just pancakes. Unfortunately I have not been sharing them here. Is that something you would like to see? More homemade syrup recipes? This one is Blackberry Syrup & just makes me want to head downstairs & whip up more fresh buttermilk pancakes just to have an excuse to crack open that bottle. Oh how I love an Easy Breakfast Recipe & blackberries usually top my list for Breakfast Ideas. It’s sweet & wonderful. Oh how I love blackberries. I hope to start a berry patch this summer – so fingers crossed I will have a bountiful harvest of berries.
When my son was little we were having a shopping day on Rodeo Drive with my friend & her mother. We stopped in to this wonderful restaurant for lunch. He was probably just over a year old so we ordered him a plate full of fruit. He immediately went for the blackberries & packed his mouth full of them until the juice was squeezing down his face & all over his pristine white shirt. Probably one of the more embarrassing meals out in those early years of parenting. But that was when I learned that he really LOVES blackberries.
