Nine times out of ten, when I have overripe bananas on the counter I either make banana bread or stick the bananas in the freezer to use in smoothies.
I love banana bread and it’s so easy to make.

We are well into pumpkin season and I have not yet begun to satisfy my desire for all things pumpkin - pumpkin squares, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin bread, pumpkin squares, pumpkin soup, pumpkin cookies, and pumpkin pie are foods I can’t seem to get enough of this time of year. Somehow, I have even managed to develop a minor addiction to Starbuck’s pumpkin spice latte this year.
I recently made this recipe for pumpkin squares that produces delicious, moist, and spicy pumpkin squares that are like gingerbread, only better for a nut lover like me, because they are crusted with pecans. To satisfy those not so excited about nuts, I doubled the recipe making one pan of pumpkin squares with nuts and one pan without. It’s adapted from a wonderful cookbook called The Weekend Baker: Irresistible Recipes, Simple Techniques, and Stress-Free Strategies for Busy People

Always on the lookout for quick easy tasty recipes I was intrigued when I discovered this cinnamon rolls recipe that called for frozen bread dough, instead of homemade.
Last winter while living in northern Wisconsin I did a side-by-side comparison of homemade cinnamon rolls. Since skiing, snow-shoeing, and ice fishing aren’t my thing, I spent a lot of time cooking and baking. It was the perfect way to stay warm and lift my spirits with the powerful scents of sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla.
In my side-to-side comparison I made two different cinnamon rolls recipes - one using frozen bread dough and the other homemade dough from scratch. While the homemade dough created slightly more tender cinnamon rolls my husband and I agreed that the difference wasn’t great enough to justify the additional time and energy, especially for busy cooks on the lookout for easy cinnamon rolls recipes.
