Dessert #3, #4 and #5!

Nothing like getting 3 for the price of 1! I have to say these three desserts are kind of fudging just a bit...I took the easy route on them!

Dessert #3 was a recipe of bread dough---turned into cinnamon rolls! Since then I have found a different recipe for cinnamon rolls that I really like and have started using. This is the recipe I'll post here. I still make it in my bread machine (dough cycle) and that cuts down on half the work! I've also been on a kick using whole wheat flour--and use that for half the flour in this recipe.

As you see--I love using allrecipes.com!

Dessert #4 was something we ate for dinner, but was like a dessert, so I made sure I counted it towards one of the FORTY!!! In addition to allrecipes.com, I LOVE Pinterest! So, that is where I found the recipe for "Whole Wheat, Brown Sugar, Banana Bread Pancakes"! They were hearty and delish. I made them up ahead of time and froze them. The syrup is especially good--and you will want to make some coffee to go along with these for breakfast or dinner!

And now #5....chocolate chip cookies! Plain & simple. I tried to cut down on the fat & used applesauce for half the butter. Nothing special about the recipe I used--just the back of the package of chocolate chips. I know there are a million recipes out there for cc cookies. But, it makes me feel a little better knowing I only have 35 more desserts to go! :-)

He (Erik) did make a request for a future dessert. Baklava!~ I have made this and always use the same recipe, but I'd kind of like to try another one. Baklava is one of those recipes I'm hesitant to find a random one to try. I might have to research this on Pinterest!
