I have only worked with yeast twice; first time ever, for this pull apart and on these raisin rolls last.  Both instances resulted in unpleasantly tough bread and really I was already put off from trying any other recipe that involves yeast.

But I love cinnamon rolls and bread in general.

And I really, really, REALLY want to make them at home.

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Yes, I know... another post about bananas.  

But!

Hummingbird Muffins

Hummingbird.  What comes to mind when you hear that word?  It may sound weird that I'm asking such question.  To the regular citizen of the planet, hummingbird = those cute, little birds.  And Flit.  You know, as in Flit?  One half of Pocahontas' loyal ally (the other half being Meeko)?  Yep.  Flit is a hummingbird!

But to home bakers everywhere, hummingbird = a baked, edible treasure.  I first encountered this version of hummingbird inside The Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook.  

Banana Cinnamon and Walnut Pancakes

Back in college, I would religiously sit in front of my vanity and put on makeup.  I would try my very best (keyword here is try) to wake up a couple hours before classes.  Like I'd just be wearing a shirt, jeans and sandals but damn was my eye liner on fleek!  Unfortunately, I've lost the touch; I cannot seem to draw even, sharp lines anymore and you bet I am frustrated.

This post has nothing to do with makeup though.  I just wanted to share because all those YouTube makeup tutorials I've been watching make long for that era in my life (lol) when I could do a perfect cat eye, no sweat and anxiety felt and retouch needed.

Pancakes!

Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes + Caramelized Bananas

I love breakfast food, yes.  But as much as I adore the whole breakfast concept, I'm not really too keen on waking up early.  Oh I still remember the mornings when I would willingly wake up at dawn and prepare for training.  Yep!  I once dreamt of becoming a pro athlete, too, you know.

A couple (more than a couple, actually) years has passed and I've yet to get that waking-up-early habit back.  But my love for everything breakfast stayed with me.

But you and I and everybody know that breakfast can be enjoyed any time of the day!  Right? Or damn right!?!

Simple, Egg-free Pancakes

Recently, I've been turning to the Web for answers.  For emergencies such as 'AHH! We're out of *whatever ingredient and whatever possible substitute there could be* but I want *whatever the end product of said missing ingredient/sub + other stuff would have been* now!'...or something.

I know you're saying the easiest solution would be to just go to the market and restock.

Cinnamon Raisin Rolls

These cinnamon raisin rolls?  

They were meant to be knots.

Double Chocolate Doughnut Muffin

V-day is fast approaching and I'm bringing you a wonderful idea and an incident that will make any baker weep.  Let's start with the sad bit first, shall we? :)

I went to the mall, headed to the baking section just looking around with no intention of buying anything and then...there I saw a neat stack of this special kind of pan.

'What pan?' A doughnut pan.  

Simple Buttermilk Pancakes with Homemade Brown Sugar Syrup

I almost always opt for breakfast food whenever we eat out.  I just can't help myself!  I am definitely a loyal member of the breakfast foodie club*.

How about you?

Sure, I'd order pasta or something else that isn't under the 'breakfast' category sometimes.  Ask my mom, I always order breakfast even if it is lunch or dinnertime!

Double Chocolate Banana Muffins!

We all know the saying 'when life gives you lemons, make lemonade'.

This post is neither about lemons nor about making lemonade.

Basically...

Have A Banana Bread with Nutella For Breakfast!

Yo.  How are you doing, gal/pal?

Hope you're doing just great and I hope you will allot time so you can make this banana bread for breakfast!

Peppers and Egg Sandwich a la Laura Vitale

The night before me and my mom made this, I was searching for a breakfast meal that is easy to prepare.

I was on YouTube checking if any of my favorite vloggers got anything new for me and it must be fate because then the great Laura Vitale had just uploaded a video that same night.
