Easy Cinnamon Rolls


Cinnamon Rolls are the greatest snacks, desserts, and breakfast food! In this video, I make them from scratch using my own technique and the recipe for bread dough. https://www.tyronebcookin.com/2009/05/easy-bread-dough.html 
If you would rather not make the dough, buy pizza dough balls from your local grocer.

I do not use a sweetened dough for Cinnamon Rolls because there is enough added sweetness in the filling and glaze.

Easy Cake Hack!


When we were living on a ship in West Africa Stephanie developed a quick cake hack that made a box mix tastes 100x better but still used minimal ingredients. In this video, she makes a chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting BUT the technique can be used on other cake flavors as well.

She makes the cake as instructed on the box and then...

See how she uses sour cream and pudding mix (and sometimes espresso) in today's video!

Making Hummus!


Our family spent some time in West Africa and one of our best food memories were these small places that served Lebanese food like shawarmas, falafel, fattoush, and ma'amoul. We found out both our kids love hummus(shocking!). And now hummus is a staple snack food at our house. Pretzels, carrots, cucumbers...We love it with a lot of different things!

Here is a link to the recipe we use - https://feelgoodfoodie.net/recipe/best-hummus/

Peanut Brittle! (and the secret to not breaking your teeth!)

 

We're making peanut brittle with the boys. Steph goes through the steps. The addition of the baking soda at the end creates air bubbles in the brittle. This maintains the crackly goodness of the brittle BUT keeps you from breaking your TEETH! It's DELICIOUS!

Mexican Chocolate Caramel Cookies!

 

These Mexican Chocolate Carmel Cookies are made with the caramel candy we made in our last video! Stephanie found an awesome "from scratch" cookie recipe that she modified to make it her own!

Here is the link to the cookie recipe we modified. 

The changes are simple. When you watch the video you will see HOW and then WHEN to add them in.
  • Replace the chocolate chips with 2 discs of Mexican Chocolate chopped up. 
  • Add a tablespoon of instant espresso powder to your cookie dough.
  • Add your caramel candy into the middle of the cookie dough. Watch our caramel candy video. If you're still not convinced to try it yourself then those little square plastic-wrapped caramels from the store will do.
Two things you need to remember to have the most success with this recipe:
  1. Chill your cookie dough 2 to 3 hours before using.
  2. After rounding your caramel candy into balls, chill for at least an hour. You can do this anytime and then wait till your cookie dough is chilled.
This will also help your cookie have the best structure with no caramel "blow-outs". But even if you do have some, it still tastes great!
