good read, and yummy eat

I just finished a really good book called The True Story of Hansel and Gretel. I am such a bookworm, and love to share when I find good reads!



I have been trying out some new recipes lately, and found one that I loved from Pintrest. Don't you all LOVE that website? It's so addicting! Anyway, you should give this one a try, I bet you will like it too. The only thing I would add are raisins, just because I love them :)

Cinnamon Roll Cake
Cake:
3 c flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 c sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 c milk
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 c butter (melted)

Topping:
1 c butter, softened
1 c brown sugar
2 Tbsp flour
1 Tbsp cinnamon

Mix everything together except for the butter. Slowly stir in the melted butter and pour into 9 x 13 pan. For the topping, mix all ingredients together until well combined. Drop evenly over the batter, and swirl with a knife. Bake at 350 degrees for 28-32 mins.

Glaze (best part):
2 c powdered sugar
5 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla

While warm, drizzle the glaze over the cake. It's kind of bread pudding ish! Enjoy!

I also tried a french toast bake for breakfast that was a lot like bread pudding it was SO delicious! Anyhow..I feel like I haven't seen you in a while and we haven't had a girls night forever. We better get going on some girl's nights!
