Quick Rise Classic Cinnamon Rolls

September 30, 2023 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 2 Comments

Last June I was in charge of coming up with a little gift/ treat for all the men of my church congregation for Fathers Day. I thought I could make some kind of baked good. My husband suggested cinnamon rolls, but my normal recipe takes hours to rise and would take way too long to make 100 of them with how much time I had that weekend. Then I remembered this 'Quick and Heavenly Cinnamon Rolls'

Crazy Feta Dip

September 21, 2023 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 1 Comment

Have you heard of Cava? Cava is a healthy Mediterranean fast-casual chain similar to Chipotle. I feel like It has gained a lot of popularity recently, thanks to their delicious and quick pick-up mezze bowls, warm pita wraps, falafel, and dips. You are served wonderful Mediterranean food in a 'walk through a line and choose your base/protein/toppings' style. Their bowls are filled with

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
