This Chocolate Cinnamon Pull-Apart bread was a centerpiece for a festive brunch in our old dining room. It serves as a pleasant reminder of warming our home with bread baking in the oven, and a fully, cozy room. We celebrated the season, and time together.
For my 39th year, I wanted to celebrate! There were multiple festivities, various occasions with friends, time pushing myself past my comfort zone, times dancing like I was in high school again, a special dinner with my partner, and a gathering around our loooong dining room table. We completely filled the table for the first time, and my heart felt full of love and gratitude. Plus, I have a very boozy Mint Julep Bundt Cake recipe for you. Cheers!
It feels fitting to share this wintry brunch now and reminisce over the good times we had in my beloved apartment as we simultaneously look forward to the gatherings our new dining room will foster.
Take the guesswork out of breakfast by making this seasonal twist on baked oatmeal in advance. Simply portion, heat, and enjoy!
Wrap yourself in a cozy sweater, grab a good book, pour a large mug of coffee, enjoy a whole-grain pumpkin scone, and the perfect morning.
This pumpkin pear bread, with oat and brown rice flours, is a rich, flavorful quick bread that feels like dessert for breakfast. Are You Here for The Food? Pumpkin Pear Bread…
This year, in particular, has felt like a whirlwind, but taking time to look up at the trees, and at the warm hues sweeping the mountainside, has helped me to feel more grounded and present. A warm bite of an apple cider doughnut would help too. Cinnamon-sugar mindfulness at its best.
The cake is light enough for breakfast and sweet enough for dessert, but I highly recommend taking an afternoon coffee and cake break, especially if you can share it with a friend.
