Coconut Rum Rice Pudding

I think rice pudding is officially a dessert, but in my family growing up this was classed as a breakfast. It's super easy to make and is very satisfying. See this recipe for plain rice pudding.

Rice Pudding

My father would make this family recipe as a treat for breakfast on the weekends.  In retrospect, it's more of a dessert than breakfast, but maybe that's why it was such a treat.

This is super easy and super tasty.  This is great because it serves a lot of people for not much effort and has great flavor.  You can experiment with additional spices and toppings (flaked coconut is also good).

Butter Tarts

These are a classic of Canadian cuisine.  I can remember getting excited when I'd visit Grandma and she'd pull some of these out for us to eat.  One bite and you'll be sold on them.

Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon rolls rock!  They smell great and taste even better.  You do have to plan ahead a couple hours, but they really aren't difficult to make.

Yield: 15 rolls

Cinnamon-Nut Tube Cake

This is a quick way to spruce up a cake mix and make it a little more interesting.  It doesn't require a lot of time and makes a very nice cake.

Grandma's Teabiscuits

Yield: 20 biscuits

This recipe is old.  I'm not quite sure how old, but my Grandmother remembers her mother baking them when she was a child.  So before cars, there were Grandma's Teabiscuits.

You top them with just about anything: peanut butter, jam, honey.  They go with any meat & potatoes type of dinner and are simple to make.
