When Life Isn't A Piece of Cake....Bake one.
“Kids What do you want for a snack today?” “Peaches!”
My kids can’t get enough peaches and we’ve seem to have a much longer season down here than it did in the Northeast. We have been enjoying super sweet peaches for a month or two now and I know it’s technically the fall, but these Peach Cobbler Cinnamon Rolls have all the warmth and coziness of the fall in one sweetly swirled package!

I've said this to many of our friends, the only things I do miss are our family, friends and certain foods. One of those things is NY style pizza and garlic knots. There's nothing like grabbing a fresh slice and a couple of garlic knots for lunch on the go. Brings back a lot of memories of college and many many lunch dates with my husband. But since moving here, we've only had garlic knots from one place and while it was pretty good, it just wasn't the same. The dough was good, but there was just too much of it. And not enough garlic, parmesan goodness sprinkled on top. So with that craving firmly planted in my mind, I decided to make my own NYC Style Garlic Knots. No refrigerated dough here!

My daughter had been asking for banana bread for quite some time, but the bananas in my house, at least lately, haven't had enough time to over ripen since they get eaten so quickly. So when I discovered the genius hack of roasting bananas for recipes it was like a light bulb went off. Bingo! Got fresh bananas? You can still make a really good banana bread! The roasted banana give it a greater depth of flavor. It's a deeper banana flavor, without being overly sweet. It's... dare I say it...better than regular banana bread!? As for the sprinkles, I couldn't say no to my 3 year old's request for funfetti!
