Almost-Famous Cinnamon Rolls

The art of the copycat recipe is a fickle thing. The much-loved foods that we enjoy in various restaurant settings are almost never truly conducive to at home production. Probably because we would all die of fright if we ever seriously saw just how much butter, cream, and salt goes into, for instance, your favorite [...]

This is the pumpkin muffin recipe that I grew up on. When a batch of these super moist breakfast treats came out of the oven on a cold fall morning they were eaten with a relish that would frighten mere mortals. Thankfully the recipe makes approximately one million muffins, or more muffins than a small [...]

At one point I used to Tivo half of the Food Network’s programming but now I have it down to just a few. The celebrity chefs I still enjoy watching include Ina Garten, Ellie Krieger, and Anne Burrell. I especially love how exuberant Anne is about food. She exclaims and makes sweeping gestures all while [...]

Height. Volume. Luster. These are usually adjectives that we use to describe what we wish our hair looked like on a daily basis (see Blake Lively for a real life example) but in this instance I experienced all three of these lovely words in conjunction with a muffin and it appears I owe it all [...]

I have a strange affinity for bran. I believe it stems from spending time with my grandfather when I was very young. He would eat cereals like Raisin Bran, Grape Nuts, and Bran Flakes for breakfast and I wanted to be just like him so I would request a bowl too. Except I didn’t want [...]

At some point last year I had the “brilliant” idea that I was going to make cinnamon rolls with puff pastry dough. In my mind it seemed like the easiest possible thing so I didn’t bother to look up a recipe. I just unrolled the chilled dough and spread out a thick layer of butter, [...]
