I've been kind of distracted with work and with the construction of our new home. I haven’t felt like baking, and to be honest it felt nice to not have the pressure that I tend to put on myself to post something. But I knew I had to share this recipe. A few weeks ago my son Josh came home from school with a recipe he wanted to make and bring to Spanish class for extra credit. Not only did he want us to bake the bread together, but he wanted me to take pictures and “blog it”. <strong>Pan de Muertos, or “bread of the dead” is a sweet bread made in Mexico for Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) or All Soul’s Day which is celebrated on November 2nd. </strong><br><a href="http://www.dulcedough.com/2012/11/pan-de-muertos-bread-of-dead.html#more">Read more »</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Connect with <a href="http://www.dulcedough.com/">Dulce Dough</a> on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/dulcedough">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/DulceDough">Twitter</a>!</div>Jill | Dulce Doughhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06940191718403596149noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739011107898357070.post-62721497791604591862012-09-30T14:00:00.000-05:002015-10-24T23:40:34.877-05:00Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls<a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-ht796Y4nnx0/UGeLFxXEHOI/AAAAAAAAA_U/VlL2gya3jDs/s1600-h/Caramel-Apple-Cinnamon-Roll%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Caramel-Apple-Cinnamon-Roll" height="600" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-cmqRtLFjNVg/UGeLGTb5EqI/AAAAAAAAA_c/9pTUxCU-esQ/Caramel-Apple-Cinnamon-Roll_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Caramel-Apple-Cinnamon-Roll" width="400"></a><br>I decided to give my favorite <a href="http://www.dulcedough.com/2011/09/cinnamon-rolls.html">cinnamon rolls</a> an autumn makeover. <strong>I incorporated a few of my favorite seasonal flavors and ingredients into the recipe.

And then later my husband Chris gave them a try. After eating a pie, he said it was good and then mentioned that I could use the apples from the apple tree in the backyard. I told him yes, but I had wanted to use up the ripe peaches we had. He gave me a funny look so I asked him, “You didn’t think that was an apple pie, did you?” Sure enough, he ate the whole hand pie and thought it was an apple pie!<br><a href="http://www.dulcedough.com/2012/08/peach-hand-pies.html#more">Read more »</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Connect with <a href="http://www.dulcedough.com/">Dulce Dough</a> on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/dulcedough">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/DulceDough">Twitter</a>!</div>Jill | Dulce Doughhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06940191718403596149noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739011107898357070.post-27367056905210313392012-07-27T14:00:00.000-05:002012-07-27T14:23:47.935-05:00Blueberry Sour Cream Muffins<a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-mQotKuUAkOM/UBHnPMAQNjI/AAAAAAAAA20/C_F9rHdQrIM/s1600-h/Blueberry-Cream-Muffins-14.jpg"><img alt="Blueberry-Cream-Muffins-1" height="600" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-5DasT0MXuPE/UBHnPg6bugI/AAAAAAAAA28/X9rIkHB-8qw/Blueberry-Cream-Muffins-1_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Blueberry-Cream-Muffins-1" width="400"></a><br><span style="background-color: white;">I always hesitate to label a recipe as “the best” because there are so many excellent recipes for any given item.

I have also been known to say that a certain recipe is one of my Top 5 or Top 10 favorite recipes. But “the best”? I have a hard time handing out that label.

After reading their website, I have to say I was intrigued and excited to give it a try. <br><br><b>So what is Cascal?</b> Their website describes it as “a delicious, natural soft drink crafted with natural juices and fermented for fuller flavor. It is complex yet has a refreshingly light and bubbly taste. The flavors range from more delicate to more robust and are the perfect complement to a meal or as a stand-alone refreshment.”<br><a href="http://www.dulcedough.com/2012/06/giveaway-cascal-natural-soft-drink.html#more">Read more »</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Connect with <a href="http://www.dulcedough.com/">Dulce Dough</a> on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/dulcedough">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/DulceDough">Twitter</a>!</div>Jill | Dulce Doughhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06940191718403596149noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8739011107898357070.post-19378777363454013432012-06-20T13:00:00.000-05:002013-12-15T17:26:37.283-06:00Orange Chia Seed Streusel Muffins<a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-BAw0InscHnc/T-II5XOov4I/AAAAAAAAAyg/6vSJjWrYgmc/s1600-h/Orange-Chia-Seed-Muffins4.jpg"><img alt="Orange-Chia-Seed-Muffins" height="600" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-aq-zStblVqg/T-II5z7pK3I/AAAAAAAAAyo/I3OpdzxNEH8/Orange-Chia-Seed-Muffins_thumb2.jpg?imgmax=800" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" title="Orange Chia Seed Muffins" width="400"></a><br><strong>Orange Chia Seed Streusel Muffins will brighten your morning!</strong> The subtle orange flavor of these muffins pairs so nicely with with a cup of coffee or a glass of juice.

Even though the amount of coffee in these cupcakes is small, my son Josh did not care for them. To me, the cupcakes themselves tasted like a delicious chocolate cupcake, and I doubt most people would even be able to tell that they contain coffee. I found the flavor to be more chocolate than mocha. The frosting, however, does have a mocha flavor which is what Josh disliked. The rest of us enjoyed these, and I love the fact that the recipe makes only 12 cupcakes. <br><a href="http://www.dulcedough.com/2012/03/mocha-cupcakes.html#more">Read more »</a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Connect with <a href="http://www.dulcedough.com/">Dulce Dough</a> on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/dulcedough">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/DulceDough">Twitter</a>!</div>Jill | Dulce Doughhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06940191718403596149noreply@blogger.com41
