Tuesdays With Dorie – Oatmeal Breakfast Bread

One of the things I love about C’s mom, D – she’s a bread connoisseur, such as myself. So, when I saw that this week’s recipe was bread, how could I not make it with her in mind? She was the lucky recipient of this loaf (which we sampled after chips & queso, margaritas and chicken tacos). 🙂 No nuts or fruit add-ins but lots of yummy brown sugar & cinnamon topping – give me a spoon and a bowl of that alone and I’d be one happy girl.

Natalie of Oven Love is this week’s hostess – check her blog for this fabulous recipe and make it immediately!! It’s lovely on it’s own, but it’s even better toasted in the morning with a cappuccino! I’m sure it makes fabulous French Toast, too!!

Sweet Melissa Sundays – Brown Sugar Vanilla Ice Cream with Hot Fudge Sauce

As you can tell from the photos, it’s hot here in Texas. I literally had 3 minutes to photograph this ice cream before it melted into soup… and it pretty much did, don’t ya think? Soup or not, Melissa’s ‘Brown Sugar Vanilla Ice Cream’ was delicious. I kicked it up a bit and added chopped pieces of chocolate and with her Hot Fudge Sauce, it was pure heaven. So yum… and perfect after an afternoon of weeding the flowerbeds!

Many thanks to Karen of Karen’s Cookies Cakes & More for this week’s cool choice! 😉 Check her blog for the recipe and of course, SMS for all my fellow fab bakers!
