Pumpkin Spice Puppy Chow | This Is Why I’m Full

I love Fall! And not only because it means leaves falling and the end of the crazy California summer heat, I also love eating heavier foods. During the summer here on the West Coast it can be hard trying to find lighter fare, something that won’t make you feel sick in the heat. But I love Fall because it means that I can eat too many sweets and be less likely to get a stomachache from them.

I also love Muddy Buddies, have you ever had them? If not, you are missing out! Powdered sugar chocolatey goodness with a nice crunch from the cereal? SIGN ME UP! I love to make things with pumpkin in the fall, and that’s how I got the idea for these! I have made them a few times following my recipe, and once when I was in a hurry I made them with Pumpkin Spice Candy Melts and those turned out pretty good too! That recipe also had a lot less steps! But this is for sure my favorite one!!

State Fair Funnel Cake

State Fair Funnel Cake

State Fair Funnel Cake | This Is Why I’m Full

When the Hubby was making this State Fair Funnel Cake for  me he kept on calling it a fritter… Which was funny, but not true. This delicious funnel cake deserves to be called by it’s proper name! We all know that funnel cake is a staple at any fair, state or county, and this recipe captures the delicious fried goodness that is funnel cake.
Now I know what you are thinking, and it’s true, this State Fair Funnel Cake really isn’t good for you.. However as a once in awhile treat I think it’s worth it, you can’t deny yourself everything! Diet or not,  health nut or not, sometimes the only thing you want is something warm and sugary!
The hubby and I make a lot of desserts, we don’t eat most of them, mostly because we always end up making too much, but also because neither of us are dessert addicts, we tend to be more potato/bread addicts than anything else, but we did eat this when we made it and it was delicious! So go ahead, treat yo’ self, because you never know when you are going to make it to a State or County fair, but you can now make that magic happen at home!

Epic Pi(e) Day Cinnamon Apple Pie

Epic Pi(e) Day Cinnamon Apple Pie 3

It’s Pi(e) day! 3/14! And what better way to celebrate than to make a brand new pie recipe! And cinnamon rolls and pie. AMAZING! This will be a huge hit with family around the holidays and I can’t wait to show it off! I think next time I will use homemade cinnamon rolls, I prefer them, but this was so much easier than having to make them from scratch!
Usually the hubby doesn’t like anything unless it has bacon in it but he loved this! I think it was even more delicious because I didn’t mix any sugar with the apples, they had their own natural sweetness!
Anyway, happy Pi(e) Day! We hope you love this recipe as much as we did!

Cinnamon Pull-A-Part Bread

By 9 Comments

Cinnamon Pull-A-Part Bread is a great alternative to Cinnamon rolls, and its a lot more fun to eat! For this pull-a-part bread make sure you mash the slices all together so you can get it out of the pan in one piece. Once you have it out and put the icing on you’ll be golden. This is best right out of the oven, there’s just something about warm bread that can’t be replaced in my mind and tummy. I would also suggest making more of the filling than the recipe says I personally double the filling because that’s just one of my favorite parts of the bread, and it makes it easier to pull the pieces apart.

This is something I make year round when I get the craving for cinnamon rolls, though I don’t like the time it takes me to make cinnamon rolls so cutting the pieces was just a natural thing to me, it’s so much simpler and quicker to do than traditional cinnamon rolls. If you take this to a party make sure you make at least two as I haven’t come across a person who hasn’t loved this bread.

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 170 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat the 1 cup of milk in the microwave for 1 minute. Carefully place the 4 tablespoons of butter into the hot milk. Let it sit for a minute or two, or until the butter starts to melt.
  2. Into your stand mixer place 2 C flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 cup sugar and 2 eggs. Let it mix for just a few seconds. Just long enough for the egg to get a bit covered up. Pour in 3/4 cup hot water.
  3. Add the milk/butter mixture. Mix for 30 seconds.
  4. Add the 1 tablespoon yeast and mix until combined.
  5. With the mixer on low, begin to add the rest of your flour. Add the flour until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl. Once you have the right amount of flour, mix on medium speed for 5 minutes.
  6. Cut the dough into two equal parts. Shape each half into a round ball and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Letting the dough rest will make it much, much easier to roll it out.
  7. Roll each ball of dough out into a large rectangle. Spread 4 tablespoons softened butter over the top of each rectangle. Sprinkle 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 cup brown sugar over the butter. Using your loaf pan for a guide, cut the rectangle into three long strips the width of your pan.
  8. Cut each strip into 6 or 7 pieces.
  9. Stack the pieces on top of each other
  10. and carefully set them into the loaf pans. Place them into a 170 degree oven
  11. for about 15-20 minutes, or until the dough has risen up and over the top of the pans (about 1-2 inches). Turn your oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, leaving the pans in the oven to rise a bit more as the temperature increases. Once the oven reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit bake the loaves for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaves are cooked through.
  12. While your loaves are baking make the glaze. Into a small mixing bowl place 2 cups powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons milk, 4 tablespoons melted butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Whisk it all together with a fork until it’s nice and smooth.
  13. When the loaves are done baking take them out of the oven and let them rest for about 10 minutes. Then remove the bread from the pans to a serving plate and drizzle the glaze over the tops and between a few of the layers while the loaves are still warm.
  14. Enjoy!

Pumpkin Waffles With Maple Cream Cheese

Pumpkin Waffles With Maple Cream Cheese|This Is Why I’m Full

Pumpkin season. You know what that means, everyone wants to have pumpkin. Bread, waffles, muffins, pie. If it has pumpkin, then chances are everyone will want to eat it. It’s almost a guarantee that anyone who tries these Pumpkin Waffles With Maple Cream Cheese won’t want to eat a “regular” waffle again. It could be the pumpkin aspect, or it could be the maple cream cheese icing. Either way cream cheese is delicious, oh, and pumpkin waffles.

I’ve used this recipe as a wake up call for my finance many times during pumpkin season, and I swear she wont get out of bed faster for anything else. Not even coffee can wake her up as quickly as pumpkin waffles. Like me she loves bacon and I’ve figured out that if I make her enough waffles and THEN make the bacon she won’t have enough room for bacon. That’s a win-win in itself, happy fiance, and I get all of the bacon. Hopefully she won’t read this post as I’ve just outed myself for my greed of bacon.
