I made these last night and didn't have a circular cookie cutter so I used my heart-shaped cookie cutters. It was awesome. There's no reason why I can't delight in giving out heart-shaped goodies even if it's not Valentine's!
To me, they tasted just alright. I wanted more cinnamony flavor in the creamcheese filling and in the dough itself! They're also more of a dessert than a breakfast item but hey, you gotta live a little every day. I live life on the edge by splurging on fat and sugar during breakfast time. Someday that may catch up to me...
I wish I had made the icing because that would definitely give it more sweetness (pie dough is pretty bland on its own and creamcheese is, too, without sugar) but I think I'd rather eat a cinnamon roll like I did most of last week.

I never really understood what quick bread was until the following recipe. It was so fast to throw together, I couldn't quite believe myself and thought I had forgotten some ingredients. I guess that's the beauty of quick stuff - it's quick because there are just a few ingredients. Not only was it quick but it was mighty tasty as well! I loved this molasses bread! I mean, who doesn't love the flavor of molasses? It's a shame you don't get many chances to taste it aside from during the holiday season with molasses cookies but this bread will rectify that. Additionally, it's moist, hearty, and pretty dang healthy. We ate a thick slab in the morning with maple syrup, butter, jam...you name it!
I used the milk and vinegar method and loved the result!

Definitely something to whip up when I don't have good bread at home! And definitely no guilt treat here (unless you like it with melted butter and cinnamon sugar like me).
