Using Yoghurt To Create Decadent Desserts

Today’s post is more than a simple recipe. It is about utilizing a simple ingredient (in this case yoghurt) to create a unlimited variety of dessert options for any palette. Often relegated to breakfasts, and lunch boxes, yoghurt is frequently overlooked when it comes to dessert. But not only can it be served alone, yougurt also can be integrated into sweeter desserts (such as baked goos), offering moisture and tartness, while maintaining it’s fruity quality.

Spinach, Parmesan and Sausage Cornbread Muffins

When I was a kid my mom would always make something she called “Sausage and Cornbread Pie” which was nothing more than cornbread with sausage mixed in, spread in a pie plate and baked. We would eat it for breakfast (I loved mine with either honey or maple syrup) and even now, the flavor combination of sweet cornbread and salty-spicy breakfast sausage reminds me of my mom.

Recently I was asked to come up with a recipe on behalf of Hillshire brands and the Mom It Forward Blogger Network and of course my mind went straight to that Sausage-Cornbread Pie. I did want to update it a little, and with the addition of spinach and parmesan it becomes a great brunch option. The perfect balance of starch, vegetable and protein. A complete little meal in one bite. I even stuck them in the kids’ lunches to eat cold, since the protein rich sausage and cheese keeps them full.

Fool Proof Bread Machine Bread: Only 5 Ingredients!

I have always been a fan of my bread machine, but I have never been able to get consistent results. Some loaves of bread are beautiful, crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside and others are like bread bricks. For some reason, some don't rise well and end up dense and heavy and not very good.
I have always followed the instructions on my bread machine manual (keep the wet ingredients away from the yeast), and I fear it has led me down the wrong path. Although it flies in the face of what everyone says you are "supposed to do" I stumbled upon this 'no fail' methodology and now, dozens of loaves later, I am confident this is the ONLY way to use my bread machine.
I am including the standard 5 Ingredient White Bread recipe, but I have altered this method to make other recipes (such as this Hawaiian Sweet Bread) and they have ALL come out great.
Look at these nooks and crannies.. Perfectly risen, light and fluffy. Just like bread from the bakery!

5 Ingredient White Bread To the bottom of your bread machine add: 1 cup warm water (or whatever your liquid you are using. "Warm" means approximately 110 degrees or 'luke warm') 2 Tbsp Sugar (or whatever sugar source your recipe uses.. honey, brown sugar etc) 1 (0.25 oz) pack Rapid Rise/Bread Machine yeast (2 1/4 tsp from the jar)
Allow the yeast to dissolve and foam for about 10 minutes and then add: 1/4 cup Oil 3 cups Bread Flour (or All Purpose) 1 tsp. Salt
Start your machine (I use either the Basic or White setting but if you are making a sweet bread you can also you alternative settings) and walk away.

There is nothing like warm bread straight out of the machine.. Enjoy!

Mini-Cinnamon Rolls (from Crescent Dough)

You know you are desperate for a carb filled snack when you decide to whip up some cinnamon rolls in the middle of night. But that is exactly what I did. I didn't want to bother starting from scratch, and when I saw LifeIsTooShortToSkipDessert's recipe I knew it was the perfect solution

For 1 tube of Pillsbury crescent rolls you will need:

4 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp butter (melted)
1 Tbsp flour

I unrolled the crescent rolls onto parchment (just for easy clean up) and then mixed the sugar, cinnamon, butter and flour together to make the filling:

Don't separate the crescent dough into triangles, but leave the triangles paired in rectangular shapes (if they start to come apart just moosh them back together) and spread the filling onto the rectangles:
