August’s Tasty Treats

I promise I really was in the kitchen all August, I just didn’t get that many photos. Probably due to the fact that the kiddos ate everything before I could get a decent picture. I do have just a few to share.

I was craving Boston Cream Pie, but I didn’t want to spend all day in the kitchen. Also I didn’t know if my family would give it a try. I found a great Boston Cream Pie Poke Cake recipe on pinterest.

The cake turned out fantastic, and the kids even liked it too.

I also tried making a homemade batch of Caramel Sticky Rolls.

The homemade Caramel was easy to make, and the rolls were absolutely delicious.

The kids even liked them.

Lastly, I tried out a bunch of vegan recipes throughout the month.

I made a batch of Chia Oatmeal Vanilla Muffins. I used Chia seed to bind the batter instead of egg. I also soaked the Oatmeal in Almond Milk instead of regular milk. They were vegan and delicious!

I also snuck in one vegan recipe for the family to try.

Vegan Dinner Rolls.

I used Vegan Butter, and skipped the egg.  I also added a bit more flour and yeast, and I gave the rolls plenty of time for the dough to proof. They were light, delicious, and the family had no idea. I will be revisiting this recipe often.
