By Katrina Yoneda - May 14, 2020
If you’re looking for an excuse to have dessert for breakfast, look no further! Since this is considered a cinnamon roll cheesecake, you don’t have to feel guilty eating dessert for breakfast! Cinnamon rolls ARE a breakfast food, aren’t they?! 😉 You’re welcome!
This cheesecake has a crunchy graham cracker crust, filled with creamy cheesecake deliciousness, studded with cinnamon sugar crumbles, & topped with a dusting of cinnamon sugar & a silky cream cheese frosting!
How can you say no to this dessert?
Dalgona Matcha + honey vanilla syrup

SIP, SIP, HOORAY!! & to that I say T-G-I-F!
…Just kidding, every day is Friday when you’re in quarantine! *one of the perks*
I know dalgona coffee is the new craze, but I got to be honest… I’m OBSESSED with matcha.
So naturally I just HAD to make dalgona matcha (aka whipped matcha goodness)! This recipe is kicked up crude mom style though. I made a homemade honey vanilla simple syrup that blends seamlessly with the whipped matcha & almond flavored milky drink!
Gelato. My yoga pants’ favorite companion!
Ahhhh Springtime. The air is warmer & the days are getting longer!!
Spring & fall are my absolute favorite seasons. It’s embarrassing how many times on our afternoon walk, I look up into the bright sky, take a deep breath in & say, “Godddd I love Spring… I JUST LOVE IT”!! I’m a complete nerd for spring blooms. What can I say? It makes me happy. ALMOST as happy as gelato makes me. Almost!
Baked Chocolate Donuts! (gluten-free)

At this point I’ve just accepted that there will be no summer bod… & I’m ok with that. When you can accept something, it makes indulging in things like donuts so much more pleasurable! Hahaha! Joking(ish).
These little baked chocolate donuts = pure heaven. They aren’t overly sweet, which is something I really admire about them (yes, speaking like they’re my children). Seriously though, they are the perfect balance of dark chocolate with a subtle sweetness to them.
Lemon Bars

Macarons! One little word. A whole lot of practice batches!
Guys, I NEED to perfect the French macaron. I am on a mission. A macaron mission if you will!! For generations, macarons have stumped even the most advanced bakers. If there is one confectionary treat that takes practice—it’s these bad boys.
When I tried my hand at them for the very first time yearsss back, my batch came out like PERFECTION!! We are talking p-e-r-f-e-c-t.
Homemade Circus Animal Cookies

These classic cookies have been on my to do list for a while now. Now that we’re in quarantine, what better & more valid of a time to eat my feelings!!! Am I right?! I really wanted to make something that would bring a little cheer to the world! It definitely brightened my spirits AND curbed my PMS cravings. HAPPY APRIL FOOLS to me! Thanks period.

So why do leprechauns hate running?
BECAUSE THEY RATHER JIG THAN JOG.
