Double Whammie

The cooking post is finally making it onto the blog!

I have actually completed three recipes from food blogs :)  go me!  Only two of them will make it onto this post though, I'll do the other one later.


When I saw this recipe on Good Life Eats it literally made my tummy grumble.  And let me tell you, it was delicious.  I pretty much followed the recipe except I used turkey bacon instead of real bacon.  We really like turkey bacon, we love the flavor and it's only a third the fat of regular bacon.  Not to mention it's cheaper, hehe.
I took of picture of this meal, I thought it was pretty too :)

This one is a keeper.
I made a surprise breakfast for Ryan's birthday and I used a recipe I found on a really great blog that I found.  It's called The Recipe Girl.  It wasn't a super fancy breakfast (it was 6 in the morning, before Ryan left for work, and I am not much of a morning person), but I had to try their Cinnamon Roll Pancakes recipe.  I have been promising Ryan cinnamon rolls for a long time and this was an easier way to fulfill that promise (although I still think I owe him real cinnamon buns). 
This recipe was really tasty though!  I thought it was a great idea to have a cream cheese icing on the pancakes as syrup.  I didn't have cream cheese, but I did have mascarpone from the first recipe of this post and I used that in it's place.  It was SO yummy.  
One thing about this recipe was that there was a lot of cinnamon filling and icing left over.  I decided to make cinnamon bun crepes out of the leftovers.  Yummy!
I'm having a lot of fun with these recipes.....I hope it's not too boring for you guys to read over :)
