This easy cinnamon roll pull-apart bread has all the buttery cinnamon-sugar flavor of homemade cinnamon rolls, without all the work! The dough is quickly rolled into balls, coated in melted butter and covered in gooey cinnamon filling then spread with luscious cream cheese frosting.

It’s basically what would happen if our favorite homemade cinnamon rolls and monkey bread got together, except I might like this version even more because you don’t have instead of being rolled into individual spirals you just roll, dunk, coat and bake!

And whatever you do, don’t skip the frosting while the bread is warm. It melts down between all those cinnamon-y pieces and you’re looking at the gooiest pan of deliciousness.

Why You’ll Love This Cinnamon Pull-Apart Bread

  • Cinnamon sugar in every bite: Because every dough ball gets individually coated, you’re not waiting to reach the cinnamon swirl in the middle.
  • Incredibly soft dough: Heavy cream and buttermilk help make the homemade yeast dough rich, tender and fluffy.
  • No rolling or cutting: Unlike cinnamon rolls, there’s no rectangle to roll out, fill, roll up and slice.
  • Cream cheese frosting: It goes onto the bread while it’s warm so it starts melting down into all the cracks.
  • Makes TWO: Bake two pans for a holiday breakfast, give one away or save one for later.

Dough

  • Warm water: Provides the warm liquid needed to activate the yeast. It should feel warm, never hot.

Fresh, crisp vegetables, creamy dressing, AND chicken and bacon? I never really have to sell this Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad to get someone to try it. With all this and more, it’s no wonder that it is consistently a hit at our table.

I love pasta salads. They’re so versatile, supporting a seemingly endless array of ingredients. And I’m always experimenting with new versions.

Forget takeout! These teriyaki chicken rice bowls have juicy grilled chicken, fresh sautéed veggies and the stickiest homemade teriyaki sauce, all ready in about 30 minutes.

It’s faster than takeout, uses simple ingredients, and makes an easy weeknight dinner everyone can customize.

Yesterday I said to my husband, I want takeout-style teriyaki chicken, but I need an easy dinner I can make at home. And voila, we made these awesome teriyaki rice bowls!

The reality is, you want takeout but don’t have the time to pick up, budget to eat out or desire to eat fast food. So what do you do when you’re craving takeout?  Skip the Takeout: This Easy Teriyaki Chicken Bowl Is Ready in 30 Minutes and makes a great freezer meal!

The first time I made teriyaki chicken at home I was so disappointed by the dry chicken with a watery sauce that was overly sweet and nothing like my favorite takeout. We had to test a lot of different recipes and styles (ditch the slow cooker this time) to come up with a 20-30 minute dinner idea that’s a cheap recipe on a busy weeknight. Buying a low sodium sauce helps it not be too salty that you need to load it with brown sugar and still maintains the flavor. 

But there was still one problem: thin and watery sauce was not what I remembered from our local restaurant. I need a thick, glossy and sticky sauce. The perfect amount of cornstarch or ez gel solved that problem with just a few turns of the whisk and heat set to simmer! 

QUICK LOOK

  • Protein: Chicken thighs
