Recipe- Cinnamon Swirl Bread (Video)

Hi guys! 

Today I bring you a super easy recipe for cinnamon swirled bread. :)

Let me just tell you right now, you will fall in love with this bread! It tastes exactly like the cinnamon rolls that you buy at store. Try it once it is out the oven, and oh my, your taste buds will go wild! Haha.

Since it is the start of all, I wanted to make something that captures the essence, and I think I did good. HAHAHA! I swear you will fall in love with it! Even more so because the texture is that of a cake!

Let's get started!

 For the BREAD:

• 3 cups flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 4 tbsp baking powder
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 2 eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 melted butter

For the TOPPING:

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tbsp flour
• 1 tbsp cinnamon 

For the GLAZE: (optional)

Oh, before I forget, I have something special coming in the next post, or two. LOL!

Mini Series: Halloween Nails- Spider & Spiderweb

Today was an exciting day! I received nail mail WOHOOO!! Who doesn't love getting nail polishes?! I think we can all agree its a good feeling, specially when they're something you haven't tried before.
My nail mail consisted of a DEL SOL nail polish, Maybelline Color Show Holographic, and Sally Hansens Magnetic. Pretty awesome right?!
I couldn't wait to try one, so I used the Maybelline Color Show Holographic for todays nail tutorial.

Here is the polish before the spider and spiderweb:

(This is with two coat on.)

Isn't it just too pretty?!?! The color was hard to capture on camera, but this is somewhat close. The color is named BLUE BLAZE. It almost looks like a very silvery grey, but its more like a super silver color with hints of blue. (Does that make sense, HAhA)

On to the tutorial:

• Clear nail polish (Sinful Colors- Clear Coat-1064)
•  Holographic nail polish (Maybelline Color Show Holographic-Blue Blaze-05)
• Black nail polish (Wet n Wild- Black Creme-424A)
• White nail polish (Sinful Colors- Snow Me White-#1)
• nail rhinestones
• small nail brush

DIY- Spider Rings!

 Hi guys!

Today I bring you a cute DIY that I thought would be perfect for Halloween. :)

     If any of you follow me on Instagram, you'll know that I am doing @Savannahsdiys Halloween October challenge. Well yesterdays, it was to make a spider out of pine comes. Well, there was no around me (booo!!!). I still wanted to do something with the spider theme, so I said why not a pretty gold and jeweled glow in the dark ring! 

     I headed into my local dollar three and lo and behold-I found a variety pack with bath, skull, and spider rings! Oh, my mind is just buzzing with ideas!

     Anyways, read down below to read how I achieved this. :)

• spider ring
• nail polish, or acrylic paint (I used nail polish, Santee in Rich Gold #M71A)
• rhinestones
• glow in the dark polish, or acrylic paint ( I used nail polish, Sinful Colors in Glow in the Dark #1353)

1. Paint your ring your desired color. Adding two coats if needed.
2. While the polish is still wet, add your rhinestones.
3. Allow your base coat to dry.
4. Paint with glow in the dark paint, and allow to dry.

Viola, you are done!

Wasn't that easy? Haha!

I hope you have fun making these!

And please, if you do, send me pictures to (Precious.Desert.Rose@Gmail.com) or tag me on Instaram (SunshinesImaginarium).

Until next time!

Jalapeno Poppers!

My mouth is watering all over again just looking at that pic! Haha!

Anyways, long time no see! I am so sorry about that, life got in the way and I have not had time to do anything that I planned. :( I am slowly getting back into my groove, lol. And it all started with these. :)

Today, as almost everyday, I wanted something spicy but I wanted something deep fried and cheesy. I was thinking of making some Texas style cheese fries, but then I remembered JALAPENO POPPERS would be better, so I decided to make them. 

Let me say, these where a bit time consuming but I swear, the end result is over the moon and totally worth it! I can't really give you any measurements on the ingredients I used because I just kinda eyeballed it, and I used huge jalapenos. so it will vary. Sorry! 

•  Washed and dried jalapenos
• cream cheese, at room temp
• mozzarella cheese, shredded (or cheedar)
• eggs with a tad of milk, beaten
• flour
• bread crumbs
• deep fryer

1. Cut all your jalapenos in half, and remove the seeds.

 2. In a bowl mix one part cream cheese with 1 part mozzarella

If needed, add more cream cheese until you get a "wet" creamy mix.

3. Spoon in the mixture in all your jalapeno halves.

4. Roll your jalapenos in the egg...

... then in the flour.

5. Let them "dry for about 3 minutes, then roll in egg again...

...and then in the breadcrumbs.

 6. Again, let the jalapenos dry for about 3 minutes and repeat the eggs and bread crumbs coating once more. At this time, you want to start heating your deep fries to 350F.

 7. Once all coated, deep fry them! Usually, I fry them between 2 to 3 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown. Place them on top of napkins to soak up all the excess oil.

 And you are done!

Now you are left with a super cheesy, and spicy popper! :) 

I seriously wish I had made some to freeze, or saved some for now. Ugh, the struggle! Hahah

I hope you have enjoyed this recipe, and if you give it a try, let me know!

P.S

What recipe would you like to see next? I MIGHT do some treat for Halloween, but I am not too sure..Hmmm.

Until next time!
