We had a 'Southern Style Night' last night with our BFF's 'G' and 'J' a/k/a the 'Ole Pirate and his First Mate! We always have a great time when we hook up with these two. We've known them for almost 9 years now, and we consider them family.

Let Them Eat Cake...

Lemon-Blueberry muffin cake to be exact. Got this recipe over at Plain Chicken a while back and when I was at Publix the other day I found some super plump fresh blueberries.

I LOVE me some fresh blueberries just about anytime on just about anything or on nothing at all, so I figured I had to give this recipe a try.

A GIANORMOUS Handful of YUM!

I love to cook and bake.  I think I've mentioned that before.  I also love to collect recipes.  Lots of recipes.  I think I've shared that with you all too.  But just in case you might have forgotten or just in case you just popped in for the first time, I wanted to mention it again.  You know, just in case it wasn't obvious or anything.

I love a good recipe with lots of pictures.  I like to see what things are supposed to look like.  This way I can kinda gauge if I'm doing it right or not.  I like recipes with simple ingredients that look complicated.  I am a sucker for that- 'wow, you made this?!?!' question, (comment, surprise?!?!?)  when someone tastes my creations.  It gives me that 'look what I've accomplished' feeling and I really like that.  Lots. 

I found this recipe over at Picky Palate.  Jenny sure has some awesome recipes.  She also has a cookbook coming out in September of this year and I'm quite excited for her and I look forward to adding it to my collection.  Her directions are easy, she shares where she finds many of the ingredients and her pictures are gorgeous.  These cookies sounded awesome and I couldn't wait to give them a try.  I gathered all the ingredients that she listed...

Cinnamon Roll Waffles

I follow this great blog, Lovin' from the Oven, and recently Kim posted an awesome recipe that I had to try out; Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. I had a fun time making them and an even better time eating them! I like pancakes AND cinnamon rolls and let me tell you, when you mix the two of these together it is just amazing!

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

I must admit however, that I prefer waffles. Yep, there is just something about a nice golden brown crunchy waffle with a drizzle of syrup on it that really satisfies my tastebuds. So yesterday morning I had a thought! (I do that ever now and again...just sayin') Why not make cinnamon roll waffles!!!
