Cake Batter Cinnamon Buns
I can never eat too many Cinnamon Buns. I’m always looking for new ways to make them or new flavours to add to the inside. These Cake Batter Cinnamon Buns added a whole new flavour that made them disappear pretty quick in my house!
This past weekend was our first long weekend of the summer. Although it’s not summertime yet, it’s a weekend that most people open their cottages, put their boats in the water, plant their gardens and kick off the nice weather after a long winter.
We spent our weekend installing a railing on our front porch and spent time with family. The weather was cooperative that we spent most of the weekend outside. Bar-B-Q’ing and our first outdoor movie on the big screen were some of the highlights for sure!
The only thing I didn’t get done this weekend was my garden. I love spending time weeding, planting my flowers and deciding what new plants I want to add. I only like to plant perennials in my gardens so that I can see them grow year after year. I do buy annuals for my planters so I can add bursts of color throughout my yard. We also want to add a vegetable garden this year so I think we better get things planted real soon!
Once my vegetable garden is planted and ready to harvest, I can’t wait to make some of these things:
- Southwest Potato Salad
- Grilled Cashew Asparagus Packets
- Grilled Apple Salad with Vanilla Yogurt
- Grilled Summer Vegetable Salad
- Kale and Bell Pepper Quesadillas
- Grilled Spinach and Mushroom Pizza
