Warm, butter, and cinnamon. Need I say anymore? |
Ok, so these have been going around but I wanted to share ...
You must make these this weekend!
Sorry, but you will be hooked.
And there won't be leftovers, because you have to eat them warm, and dang it you just start popping them into your mouth, because you say "mmm... that was good, just one more" and then "one more".
So, I apologize ahead of time.

So indulge.
Speaking of delights I was recently passed along a Stylish Blogger Award by a fellow blogger,
Mr. Brooks Walker over at CakeWalker
As part of receiving the Stylish Blogger Award you are supposed to share 7 things about yourself, little tidbits others may not know about you, so here we go:
About me:
1. I wish I could sing. (I mean like really sing, professionally)
2. When I was 7 or 8 I was chosen to perform with the Georgia Ballet in the Nutcracker.
3. Both of my daughters names are inspired from the beautiful Audrey Hepburn and water
4. When I was little I wanted to grow up and be a mechanic (and yes I played with matchbox cars)
5. I love the beach/water
6. Nashville, TN is one of my favorite cities to visit (even though it is nowhere near the beach)
7. I am Speech-Language Pathologist by training!
So, I am paying it forward and passing along a Stylish Blogger Award to some blogs that I follow and would like to share: (in random order)
1. Cultural Dish Amazing cakes and amazing decorating! She is very inspiring for us amateur home cake decorators!
(check out her Recent Cakes and browse her other recipes as well!)
2. Munchkin Munchies Always has the cutest ideas for serving up! Very creative!
3.Will Run For Health A great place to visit for all things healthy and get your laughs in while there. Carla shares her adventures in training for marathons (running, spin class, yoga) as well as her love of food, usually vegetarian style. Check out her 365 project of her food adventures, ordered out or homemade! (she gets pretty creative with her food sometimes! Let's just say she's not afraid to play with her food!)
4. A Southern Fairytale: I stumbled upon this amazing blog through a link party and I am so glad I did. Lovely savory recipes. She shares amazing recipes, lovely food pics. Not overdone, all just right!

8. Burnmenot I pass this along to Lindsey because I always enjoy her recipes and she seems to have similar tastes as me and I think anyone would enjoy her recipes!
9. DayDreamer Desserts A beautiful food blog with creative recipes and beautiful pics. Wish I could come up with some of her recipes, but guess I will just have to make them!
10. Adventures in Food I was just introduced to this blog but love all the recipes thus far and a nice clean blog design, I will be continuing to follow
