French Toast Muffins

Posted on July 24, 2011 by sparecake

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Crescents

Posted on July 21, 2011 by sparecake

I don’t know that I’d technically call these “crescent rolls,” as they’re not a light flakey thing, but they’re crescent shaped and delicious! I love things that I can tag as both breakfast and dessert… These are from breadworld.com, which … Continue reading →
