Eats + Sweets

Ahhh, profiteroles. These sweet treats are some kind of heaven. I’m sitting in the Charleston airport this morning waiting on my flight back to Syracuse and I am here to tell you what, I am craving some profiteroles and chocolate sauce right now like you wouldn’t believe. I’ve never made profiteroles before, but I am thinking I’d like to give it a whirl. While more intricate than whipping up some tasty cookies, the pay off is all in the puffy …

While it’s still hot and humid this week, I know crisp fall days are just around the corner. With the chill in the air will also come a renewed vigor to spend more time in the kitchen. Something about cooking and baking is so joyful for me. Chopping, sifting, mixing, stirring. It brings a quiet happiness to my soul. And, cookies. Cookies also bring happiness to my soul.

I have a mind to tell you this may just be as close to heaven on earth as it gets, folks.

Perfect for enjoying something sweet over morning coffee, I’m adding these cinnamon roll donuts to my list of must-make treats. Made with almond flour and iced with a cinnamon topping and hazelnuts, they’re baked instead of fried. Oh and I have no doubt that they’re certifiably delicious. (That’s the important part, right?)
