Quick & Easy Cake Mix Cut-Out Cookies #TheDessertDebate

The holidays are approaching which means the baking season has begun!  Even though I bake so much throughout the year, I still love this time.  I think it's because I get to make so many different types of cookies (and eat them), the kids are involved, and I get to give the cookies as gifts too.  I'm not creative when it comes to crafts so I like to make cookies, write names on them, and use those as the name tags for dinner or even wrap some up and give them as gifts.  We're all busy so one of the quickest and easiest ways is to use a cake mix, add butter & eggs and your dough is done!

Blueberries & Cream Bubble-Up Bake #warmtraditions

 Sweet cream cheese baked into blueberry grand biscuits for a delicious bread! 

 

 I'm a mom who loves to do special things for the kids no matter what the occasion, holiday or event it is.  I want the kids to have wonderful memories of home and I hope they'll carry on the traditions to their families too.  One of our favorite traditions is to have Sunday brunch with lots of scrumptious food, good conversation, and an all around great time.  I always make it special with a nice tablecloth, pretty napkins, fancy dishes, and a favorite food for each family member to enjoy!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake Bars

I saw these bars on Pillsbury and have been wanting to make them for quite some time.  I love cookie dough and cream cheese so I knew they would be divine!  Then my good friend Stephanie from Back for Seconds asked if I'd like to help celebrate the launch of her new site...she's a dot com now so of course I said yes!  If you haven't been to her site, make sure you do because she has so many wonderful recipes and her pictures are always beautiful!  While you're there, you'll get to see all the other wonderful blogs that are helping her celebrate too!  I knew these bars would be the perfect way to celebrate; they're simple to make, they taste delicious and would be great for any party!  

Cinnamon Roll Apple Dumplings with Caramel Sauce

Pin It

I am so excited about this recipe!  When coming up with new recipes, I always try to think of desserts that our family enjoys.  Apple dumplings and cinnamon rolls are definitely two of them.  So I thought why not combine them into one dessert; I did and they turned out wonderful!  I decided to use canned cinnamon rolls to make the preparation easy and the recipe simple.  To top them off, I made a rich creamy caramel sauce.  I loved how these came out and I'm glad that I thought of a new dessert to add to our collection :)  I hope you enjoy them too!

Delicious Nutella and Cream Cheese mixed together and baked in a flaky Croissant Dough  

If you need a quick, easy and delicious dessert this Nutella & Cream Cheese Danish has got you covered!  Nutella is mixed with cream cheese and a little bit of powdered sugar then baked in a croissant dough.  The croissants make a flaky dough which holds all that creamy nutella goodness in.  Drizzle a little bit of nutella on top, sprinkle with powdered sugar and then you're ready to sink your teeth into a delicious danish!  This recipe is simple to make, comes together in a matter of minutes, and it's perfect for dessert or breakfast.
