Food from the heart!
When my boys were growing up we didn’t eat a lot of cereal at our house. Some of their favorites included the cinnamon rolls, monkey bread, or muffins for breakfast. If we had leftovers, I would freeze them for later. Since I am home now, I am trying new recipes. I am keeping it simple all day, every day. So, it is back to the basics for me. I am making muffins and other recipes from scratch. I am praying that you are using this time to do something you love.
Food for the soul!
“Learn to sense what is vital and approve and prize what is excellent and real value.” Philippians 1:10
I have learned through all of this time at home that simple is better. We buy a lot of things we really don’t need which makes us work harder for more money. The most important things in life are put on the back burner such as time with family, baking our favorite desserts, trying new recipes, going to the farmer’s market, or watching a movie with my husband. Well, it is high time we simplify our lives.

- 1 t. baking soda
- 2 cups eggs
- 1 t. baking powder
- 1/2 t. salt
- 1/2 cup butter (softened)

HOW DO YOU MAKE BERRY DELICIOUS MUFFINS?

2. Mix all of the streusel ingredients together and set aside.
3. Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.

Lastly, add in the dry ingredients alternating with the milk. Fold in the mixed berries carefully. In a small bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Put a couple of tablespoons in the bottom of each jar and press down.
5. Spoon the batter into the liners, filling them all the way to the top. Top each with streusel, gently pressing it down into the surface so it sticks. Bake for 5 minutes at 425 degrees then keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Bake for an additional 18-20 minutes or until inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin pans before removing.

Sweet Strawberry Rolls
Today on Tasty Tuesday’s Tips and Recipes I am sharing a Sweet Strawberry Roll recipe that I made for Mother’s Day. One of my favorites for breakfast is cinnamon rolls. These probably rank a close second to my cinnamon rolls. If you love strawberries, you will love these. I used strawberry jam for this recipe because that is what I had on hand. You can use fresh strawberries as well.
This Sweet Strawberry Roll recipe is a process and takes a while to make. After baking, wrap them up in individual packaging and freeze for later. I highly recommend trying these while we are in the strawberry season. However, you can always use strawberry jam as I did, and they will turn out great! Are you getting hungry?
INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED:
(full amounts in the downloadable recipe below)
- Whole Milk
- Sugar
- Unsalted Butter
- Instant Yeast
- Egg
- Salt
- Flour
- Strawberries or Strawberry Jam
- Cornstarch (not needed if using Strawberry Jam)
- Powdered Sugar
- Vanilla
HOW DO YOU MAKE SWEET STRAWBERRY ROLLS?
1. In a saucepan over medium heat, add milk and cook gently until foamy bubbles form on the edges. (do not boil)
2. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar and butter.
3. Allow to cool to lukewarm and add the instant yeast.
4. Stir in the egg.
5. In the bowl of a standing mixer, add 2 ½ cups of flour and salt to combine.
6. If you have it, use a dough hook attachment, add the liquid and mix until the dough is well kneaded, about 3 minutes.
Let it rise…
7. Drizzle olive oil on the dough so it does not stick to the bowl. Let rise for 1-2 hours until doubles in size.
8. Once the dough has risen, prepare the strawberries or just use strawberry jam.
9. Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface to make a rectangle that is 1 to 2 inches thick.
10. Spread the strawberries mixture or the strawberry jam to the edges. Roll the dough. Using a serrated knife, slice through the rolls to make 1 ½ to 2-inch pieces.
Let rise for 1 hour…
11. Bake at 350 for 25-35 minutes or until golden and baked through.
12. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before frosting.
Frosting
