Updated Funfetti Hot Cross Buns

[Jump to the recipe by clicking here] When I think back to Easter’s past I don’t really remember the food. This isn’t to say that my mom didn’t prepare an amazing meal. I am sure she did. Instead my memories are very kidcentric. I remember the baskets, the chocolate bunnies, looking for the colorful plastic eggs full candy, and especially dying hard boiled eggs. In short, I remember all the bright colors and the fun family activities that revolved around them….

And thus, we joined the green smoothie craze! Morning smoothies are not a new thing for me. My mom has made them, for as far as I can remember, every morning of my entire life. I always marveled, in both a good and a bad way, at what she could…

Chocolate Sourdough Baked Doughnuts (Donuts)

Chocolate Sourdough Baked Doughnuts (Donuts)

[Jump to Recipe] I am guilty of following the National Day Calendar craze and look up all sorts of random national, mostly food, holidays. I do it mostly as an activator to get my mind thinking about recipes and things to make, since most of the holidays aren’t really all the legitimate. National Doughnut Day, however, is and writing this post led me down the Wikipedia rabbit hole as I tried to figure out if making it the first Friday after…
