Cinnamon Sugar Buttermilk Brioche Donuts

· Print RecipeThese cinnamon sugar buttermilk brioche donuts are 100% the best donuts I have ever eaten. Made with my go-to brioche dough recipe, these donuts are fried into soft, pillowy perfection, then tossed in a generous coating of cinnamon sugar. With most of the recipes that I create, I normally have one taste and move on, not because they aren’t good, but because I just can’t eat everything that I make. But these donuts… oh man, I ate 3 of them!! I tried to just eat one and move on, but I couldn’t. They’re just so so good. The buttermilk makes them slightly dense, yet gives them the perfect soft, pillowy texture we all know and love from a good brioche donut. And you cannot go wrong with a classic cinnamon sugar coating. They are the perfect mid-afternoon snack, dessert (topped with ice cream, of course), or breakfast served with your morning coffee!

Skinny CBD Mocktail

March is Women Empowerment Month, so to celebrate I created a new mint flavored cocktail and creating the Mini Women EmpowerMint Bevvie Series :)The CBD in this mocktail is also totally optional (since it’s flavorless), so if you're not a fan of CBD, you can easily omit it without changing the drink. However, if you've never tried CBD, I highly recommend that you look into it. It helps a lot with anxiety, and 1 to 2 milliliters can really start to relax you.Just when you think this relaxing, non-alcoholic drink couldn't any get better, it does. It's considered a "Skinny," or low-calorie drink, because I used Sprite Zero in it. Now, I know there are arguments that the fake sweeteners in diet or zero sodas are bad for you, so feel free to swap it out for a lemon/lime sparking water if you'd like to make it a little healthier. Other than that, you're just consuming natural sugars from the blackberries, so this drink has officially been deemed "Guilt Free."

Blood Orange Jam

Blood Oranges are a beautiful fruit that are named from their deep ruby, orange and pink flesh. Blood oranges have a sweeter taste than regular oranges, They are only available for a short time span each year, so why not take the opportunity to preserve nature’s goodness while we can? December usually marks the beginning of the season when grocery stores carry blood oranges, and the season runs for a couple of months. We like to use this delicious, beautiful jam on toast, sandwiches, pancakes, waffles, ect... This recipe is easy, and makes great use of this seasonal fruit. The jam is canned so you can enjoy the delicious fruit of your labor all spring, summer and fall!

Healthier Mascarpone Ricotta Fruit Tartlets

There’s a korean cafe near my house and I’m obsessed with their fruit tarts. Instead of pastry cream, they’re filled with a cheesecake mixture and topped with glistening fruits. Yum! I have some leftover mascarpone and ricotta cheese at home and thought I’d try to make some tarts that inspired by the ones in the cafe. Instead of butter, I have opted to use a light olive oil spread to try and decrease the amount of saturated fats. The problem is it is softer than butter even when cold so it makes the dough harder to handle because it’s stickier. I find chilling it for a few hours beforehand and lightly flouring your hands and counter helps. Be careful not to add too much flour though or your pastry will be tough. To avoid handling it too much, I initially used a potato masher and a spoon to mix the spread with the flour. You can use a pastry cutter or better yet, a food processor if you have them instead (I don’t own either)After transferring the dough into the tartlet tins, I find it helpful to freeze the dough in the tin for half an hour before baking. Depends on how shallow your tins are, you may want to use baking paper and pie weights when blind baking it. My tins are quite shallow so I didn’t find that I need it. I do hope you try it! if you do please tag me @dessertsforlunch on instagram :)

Frosted Animal Cookies

Growing up I spent a lot of time visiting my grandmother. When I arrived to her home, she’d have a couple of surprises for me. One surprise was a booklet with paper cut out dolls and clothes and the other surprise were frosted animal crackers/cookies with sprinkles. I loved them and my days spent with her. She’s no longer here but our memories together remain vivid.Now that I’m a grandmother to 4 sweet kids, I want them to have memories of times spent with me and the special treats I make for them. They love cookies, I frequently make mini chocolate chip cookies which they love. However, they’ve never tasted animal cookies because I know now as an adult that they’re full of a lot of bad ingredients, so I decided to make them instead. They not only turned out delicious, they were simple to make and super cute and talk about nostalgic treats 🥰 that’s what these are to me. They bring back lots of great memories.I chose to not use food coloring and instead I used beet powder. No, it didn’t give the cookies a beet flavor either but it sure did give it a lovely color. This recipe makes lots of mini sized cookies but depending on the size of your cookie cutter, it can make less.I think these are perfect Easter cookies especially if you make them using bunny cookie cutters.Thank you for stopping by.If you’d like to see more of what I cook and love to do, please visit me at https://www.instagram.com/mycreativekneads/Alright, let’s get baking!

Chewy Oreo Chocolate Chip Cookies

I've been having a major debate lately trying to choose whether to have Oreos or Chocolate Chip Cookies for dessert and let me just say it's been rough... I mean who could actually choose between the two, they're just wayyy too good. One day I was just sitting eating both Oreos and CC cookies (don't judge lol) and that's when I was like "wait a minute, I can actually have both!!" And that my friends, is where this brilliant recipe originated. Sometimes, I just want to have the best of both worlds and this is BY far the best definition of "best of both worlds". It has the chewiness of a chocolate chip cookie, it has a whole bunch of chocolate just like an Oreo, and it makes me do a happy dance the way both cookies do. I guess you can say I'm a little obsessed!! Okay well maybe not a little but you get the point. If you are an Oreo and a chocolate chip cookie lover, this is the perfect recipe for you.

Roasted Corn Salsa

Before you know you are going to be seeing loads of fresh husked corn in your local grocery stores. As we turn our thoughts and cravings to Spring and Summer food fare, corn is definitely on the top of my list.I happen to be one of those people that loves the sweet taste and crisp bite of fresh corn but I hate getting it stuck in may teeth. I am always the one at the dinner table with the knife taking my corn off the cob. So any recipe I can make with corn off the cob is my jam! I made this roasted salsa one night and it has become one of the favorite summer sides at barbecues and family weeknight dinners alike. This is a great side for a picnic or barbecue because there is no dairy in it. Just fresh lime juice, a little olive oil and of course some salt and pepper! So feel free to keep it out for a while people pick and graze with no worrying of spoilage. Cheers to Summer!
