Peanut Butter and White Chocolate Chip Cookies

It’s rainy where I am this morning, and for me, that’s the perfect time to bake cookies.  And I’ve got the perfect and easiest cookies for you to try!  I whipped these up quickly and easily one day last week, and then took them to my sister’s work where her office staff proceeded to eat the entire container.  They were that good!  And the best part?  So, so easy to make!

Peanut Butter and White Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 box yellow cake mix
1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy is best)
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 cup white chocolate chips

1. Preheat your oven to 350.
2. Mix together your cake mix, peanut butter, butter, and eggs.  Then stir in your white chocolate chips.
3. Drop small spoonfuls (using a teaspoon) on your cookie sheet and bake for 9-11 minutes.  Let cool on your cookie sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring cookies to a cooling rack.
*This made about 40 cookies for me.

Breakfast Burrito Recipe

It’s no secret that I love breakfast food–just not at breakfast!  Give me all of the cinnamon rolls, pancakes, eggs and bacon…..at supper time 🙂

It’s so crazy, I know, but when I made these breakfast burritos about a week ago, I had so much left over that I was able to make 5 more burritos and freeze them individually.  Because of that, I’ve been able to grab a frozen burrito, heat it up, and eat it on the go!  And you’ll be glad to know, some of them have been eaten for actual breakfast!


Breakfast Burrito

whole wheat tortillas
scrambled eggs
turkey sausage, cooked and crumbled
red onion, sauteed 
grated cheddar cheese

1. Scramble your eggs, cook your turkey sausage, and saute your red onion.
2. Set up an assembly line and layer: egg first, then sausage, red onion, and cheese.
3. Fold into a burrito/mine folded into a little packet.
4. Enjoy!

The best thing about these breakfast burritos is that you can use any sort of topping you want!  Crumbled bacon, jalepenos, a different type of cheese, salsa–anything!  Your family will love these!

To Freeze:
-prepare each burrito like normal
-wrap tightly with wax paper (or you could use parchment)
-wrap again in foil making sure everything is closed off
-place in your freezer!

To Reheat:
-take off foil
-leave in wax paper and heat up anywhere from 1:15 to 1:45–mine never took a full 2 minutes

Super Easy Cinnamon Rolls

Be prepared–I am about to share with you the easiest cinnamon roll recipe ever!  I’m not much of a cinnamon roll person for breakfast.  Now if I’m offered one, I’m not going to turn it down, but I would much rather have something a like an English muffin and peanut butter.  But for lunch or supper?  Yep!  I will definitely take a cinnamon roll for that–or even as a mid-day snack 🙂

I randomly had a can of biscuits in the fridge that I had bought just in case I wanted to whip up breakfast for supper–that’s my favorite!  But I decided to try my hand at making semi-homemade cinnamon rolls with cream cheese icing because I always have the ingredients for cream cheese icing on hand!

I grabbed a pie dish, the ingredients, and got to work!




Super Easy Cinnamon Rolls
1 can biscuits (I used Grands Juniors [10] original flavor)
1.5 TBS melted butter
sugar + cinnamon mixture
reduced fat cream cheese, softened
1-2 cups of confectioners sugar
1 TBS milk

1. Preheat your oven to what your biscuits say and spray your pie dish with Pam.
2. Flatten out each biscuit, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with your cinnamon and sugar mixture.
3. Roll up each biscuit like a sandwich wrap and place seam side down in your pie dish.
4. Bake according to what your biscuit can said.  (Mine was at 400 for 10 minutes.)
5. While your cinnamon rolls are baking, start making your cream cheese: Beat your softened cream cheese.  Start by adding 1 cup of confectioners sugar and 1 TBS milk.  If you don’t like your icing too cream-cheesy (my own word ha!), then add in more sugar, but I like mine to taste like cream cheese so I stopped at 1 cup.
6. As soon as you take your cinnamon rolls out of the oven, slather them with the icing and enjoy!
