Baked Cinnamon French Toast
Welp, the Christmas Tree is packed away, decorations are down, the Christmas music is over until next year, and the girls go back to school tomorrow. The days of staying up too late and sleeping in are in the past, and the countdown to summer has started. Seriously, is it summer yet? I’m over the cold. It’s all fun and games until the Christmas decorations come down, and then it’s just cold. And cold without Christmas is no fun AT. ALL. But – bright side…

Throwback Thursday: One Hour Maple Pecan Cinnamon Rolls
Hi everyone! On Thursdays, I will be sharing some of my favorites from the archives of Lemon Sugar. These are still my very favorite cinnamon rolls, ever and are one of my most-pinned recipes! Wouldn’t these be great on a lazy daylight-saving morning? Enjoy! ♥ This is officially the third time I’ve used my One Hour Cinnamon Roll Dough on the blog. There was the original, the Cherry Sweet Rolls, and now these. I think these win. These are Maple Pecan Cinnamon Rolls, and they’re fabulous. Oh…

Cinnamon Swirl Bread
There are few things more rewarding in the kitchen than a successfully made bread recipe. Whether it’s your favorite pizza dough, cinnamon rolls, a buttery dinner roll or just a loaf of sandwich bread, there’s something about fresh bread that makes you feel like a rock star in the kitchen. I don’t know how many times I’ve made bread (it’s a lot) but even so, every time the yeast starts to do its thing, I do a little happy dance. The thing about bread, though,…

Maple Bacon Biscuits
I like to tell people that I don’t really like bacon. If we’re being honest thought, that’s really only half true. I DO like bacon, but I do NOT like chewy, gummy bacon. I like it verrrrrrry crispy. Otherwise, forget it. Know what else I like? Biscuits. So, you know -might was well combine them, right? Because then, you can put a nice fried egg and some cheese in the middle of it, and you’ll die and go to crispy bacon heaven. Every Sunday, we…

Biscuits and Gravy Casserole
My dear brother-in-law has been staying with us over the last week. It’s awesome because of course I love it when he’s home, and I get excited every year because he’s someone new to cook for – another person to eat the holiday goodies that I’m inevitably churning out. But the truth of the matter is that he really doesn’t eat much. He’s not a breakfast person. I know these things. But I still, every single year, force new breakfast dishes upon him like he’s…

One Hour Maple Pecan Cinnamon Rolls
This is officially the third time I’ve used my One Hour Cinnamon Roll Dough on the blog. There was the original, the Cherry Sweet Rolls, and now these. I think these win. These are Maple Pecan Cinnamon Rolls, and they’re fabulous. Oh yeah- and they can be made start to finish in an hour. No big whoop. YES. ONE HOUR. CINNAMON ROLLS IN ONE HOUR, FOLKS! So today, we changed it up a bit – I added some sticky-sweet pecans to the filling, and doused…

Caramel Bread Pudding with Creamy Caramel Sauce
By now you know that I am a serious planner and organizer. I plan all of my meals for the week before I head to the grocery store, including recipes that will show up here at Lemon Sugar. While I’m always eager to share my new ideas with all of you, sometimes it’s much harder to plan meals for my family. I’m always fighting the urge to stick to my tried-and-true rotation of 6-8 dinner options, mostly because they work for us and our schedule.…

Cherry Sweet Rolls
Ok, let me break this down for you. One-hour sweet roll dough. Sweet cherry filling. Easy-peasy powdered sugar glaze. Start to finish, cherry sweet rolls, in about an hour. Boom. This is what Sunday afternoons are made for. Know why? Because tomorrow I get to have a cherry sweet roll with my morning coffee. It’s funny because every single time I make this recipe, I think, “Why in the world did I not halve the recipe? Why do I need 30 sweet rolls?” Let me…

White Sandwich Bread
Yesterday evening, I realized that I didn’t have enough potatoes to make the mashed potatoes I was planning for dinner. At that point, most people probably would’ve nixed the mashed potatoes (which would be a very, very sad thing…) and found another side dish. But I’m lucky enough to live a couple of minutes away from my parent’s house, which means I am just a couple of minutes away from my Dad’s garden. So, after a quick trip down the road and armed with…

No-fail Homemade Hamburger Buns
On Mother’s Day, back in May, we also celebrated my Dad’s birthday at the same time. My family all gathered at my parent’s house, and we had a lovely cookout, complete with hamburgers, hot dogs, brats and lots of yummy sides (which is my favorite part). My brother stopped and bought hamburger and hot dog buns (that was his “job”) and we enjoyed the day. Now, fast-forward almost a month. Last week, we found ourselves rushed for dinner so my husband just threw some hamburgers…

Banana Bread Bars with Brown Butter Frosting
First of all, I have to apologize for these, because I know they aren’t pretty. They’re very beige, kind of flat, the frosting has funky spatula-lines in it, but oh holy mother cow, these are so fantastically amazing that you have to make them right now. Like, RIGHT. NOW. Seriously, go.

Orange Sweet Rolls
My to-do list today looked something like this: clean the pantry for an upcoming photo-shoot. Organize the mess on top of my desk. Finish the laundry. Go to the grocery store. Decorate for Easter. Put away the 2T clothes still in Mia’s closet *sniff*. See how productive I am in my head? Know what I actually did? Yup. I made Orange Sweet Rolls.
