Rhodes Quick, Easy, & Delicious Party with Rhodes Microwavable Cinnamon Rolls @Tryazon @rhodesbread #Tryazon #Rhodesbread




The weather is turning chillier with the fall leaves rolling in. The time is perfect for baking and a warm cup of coffee with frothed milk. This is the time of year I enjoy having friends and family over to spend time together and bake up some warm treats in my oven or microwave. I love the scent of fresh baked cinnamon rolls but who doesn't. I was really excited when I found out that I would be working with Tryazon and Rhodes Dough to share about my experiences with a new product that is easy as 1-2-3 even for new bakers. 




There is nothing better good friends and family and yummy snacks on a Sunday morning!  Rhodes Bake ‘N Serv is a company that has been around for years and years. I remember learning how to bake years ago with my friend John using Rhodes Dough.  Even if you are a novice baker you will see they have options that make baking a real cinch. 


Rhodes Dough just launched something new--Microwavable Cinnamon Rolls--these are perfect for busy mamas. They are slowly making their way into stores like Walmart and Stop & Shop so keep checking your locations....I bet you will be seeing them soon. If you have a tiny bit more time they have an oven baked version of gooey cream cheese frosted Cinnamon Rolls as well. Rhodes make more than just Cinnamon Rolls though....If you are looking for a special roll to accompany a more formal dinner they make my favorite traditional soft and buttery dinner rolls which add a special touch to any table. They have a variety of dough that you can use to create all kinds of delicious recipes. Rhodes has dough that works for all kinds of meals, appetizers and seasons. The best part is how simple all their products are to bake whether you are using a microwave or traditional oven. I love how Rhodes Dough can be incorporated in hundreds of great recipes from appetizers to desserts. Take a peek at this yummy Blueberry Coffee Cake below!
 

Rhodes Bread believes that special does not need to be complicated unless you really want it to!  You can find all kinds of recipes on their websites that will fit perfectly into your holidays from Halloween to Christmas and even Hanukkah and New Years Eve. Rhodes understands that busy moms like me enjoy cooking and baking but we are sometimes limited with time between work, kids, activities and life.  Rhodes Bread make it easy to be a gourmet cook and host family, friends and even colleagues anytime with delicious treats that are ready in a flash. Take a peek at all the recipes and you can share the goodness with friends like I did. 


We had so much fun at my brunch today! I was surprised at how easy it was. I could not locate their newest innovation the microwave version of the Cinnamon Rolls but It was a pleasure to make the traditional Rhodes  Cinnamon Rolls since they came together so quickly. My guests were impressed and thought it would be fun to do around the holidays. I am excited to find the microwave version over the next few weeks in stores by me. I like the traditional one though...it gave us more time to catch up and chat. Clean up was a breeze as well. You can do so much with these Cinnamon Rolls and add your own special touch. 


Here is what I received for my party: 
  • Free coupon for Rhodes Microwavable Cinnamon Rolls
  • 10 $1.00 off Rhodes coupons for my guests
  • Rhodes Oven Mitt
I spent some time on the Rhodes Bread Pinterest pages and on their website. I have looked there before and found recipes but I was amazed this time at the variety of options that they had. All of the Rhodes Bread recipes were fairly easy to replicate even if you were a novice baker. The instructions were simple and straight forward for all the recipes. You don't need to be running to specialty stores when you are making recipes using Rhodes Bread products because they use simple, delicious but easy to find ingredients.  The recipes call for fresh or canned fruits, dairy options like sour cream always cheat and use fat free Greek yogurt!), cream cheese, sugar, flour and grated cheeses which let you create delicious appetizers, main dishes and desserts everyone will enjoy. 

I have always found that prepping ahead makes a party so much easier. Perhaps you have more time than I do so just see what works for you when you are having guests over. Some people work great on the fly. So I prep a day or two in advance and get all my shopping done if that works for you and that way you can relax like I did on party day. The only thing I needed to do was show the guests how easy it was to make delicious cinnamon rolls with almost no work at all. Take a peek at Rhodes Bread and stock up your freezer with rolls and dough in advance of your next party or get together. The holiday season is going to be here before you know it and you will have the base for tons of quick recipes so you will never be empty handed.

Tweens with braces love Pumpkin Banana Smoothies #pumpkin #smoothies



My tween recently got braces. Oh boy, that was something else. Right after the application of the brackets it took so long that the poor thing experienced an episode of syncope. That was a real experience let me tell you. Good thing she was secure in that chair. 

We finally got her home with the braces and the whole bit all in there including the Halloween themed bands. Yup, orange, yellow and white just perfect for Halloween which is approaching quickly. Her mouth is pretty sore so I am sticking to soft foods and smoothies for now. In a few days she should be in much better shape. Meanwhile, I thought it would be fun to create a special smoothie to soothe those teeth and gums. My idea was for a Pumpkin Banana Smoothie. 



It was easy to make with a frozen banana, a cup of frozen pumpkin puree and a quarter cup or more of lowfat organic Greek yogurt. I thinned it out with a little Apple and Eve Organic Apple Juice as well. I added a bit of maple syrup or you can use your sweetener of choice (or not). This was a big hit and really provided some soothing relief to her gums.
