Sunny Days and A Warm Gooey Easter


Something about sun shiny days really makes me want to  bake. And one of my favorite things about Easter (besides egg-shaped chocolaty goodness and bunnies plunging ears first into the peanut butter jar) is Easter breakfast. 




I love spending a lazy sunny Sunday morning visiting with my family, eating some of my favorite foods (spiral ham - yum! eggy breakfast casseroles - yum! hash browns - yum! sweet breakfast rolls - yum! yum!), chasing it down with loads of chocolate, and hunting a few Easter eggs.


Yes, I did hunt Easter eggs until I was in my late twenties. I'm talking full contact, race to find the most the fastest, stealing other peoples eggs, bragging rights for a full year Easter egg hunting.
Now that My Little Man is getting SO big, I'm so excited to share these traditions with him. Though the egg hunt may be a bit more subdued for a while. Nevertheless I can't wait!





Bryan and I went to an Italian cooking class last week at the Bosch store. It was a lot of fun and super tasty! The instructor was flighty but adorable and by the time the class was over, I was stoked to try grinding my own wheat flour. She made a super easy and yummy pizza dough that I can't wait to try.
What does that have to do with Easter you ask? Well... I think it will be perfect for making some oh so tantalizing breakfast bread. Now the only problem is deciding what kind to make.
There is the old standby favorite (and favorite for a reason)...  Cinnamon Rolls.
My moms go-to Orange Roll recipe that everyone loves.

or a new idea that has been cultivating in this little head of mine after numerous hours of Food Network playing in the background of my everyday household chores...  Salted Caramel Sticky Buns with Crumbled Brown Sugar Bacon.
How's a girl to decide? ... how about make all three!?! Sounds a bit ambitious for a novice baker with an 8 month old and a husband on the road. So we'll see how it goes.


Baking adventures to come....
