Turkey Cinnamon Rolls That Will Make Your Thanksgiving Morning Totally Extra

Some folks don’t plan to have breakfast on Thanksgiving morning. They like to save up and starve themselves, leaving plenty of room for the main course of turkey and dressing and potatoes – not to mention the dessert course of pumpkin pie – that they know is coming soon.

In our house, we go easy, with a pan (or two) of ooey, gooey cinnamon rolls first thing in the morning. They go great with coffee, you can eat as many as you want, since calories obviously don’t count on Thanksgiving, and you don’t even have to make them from scratch.

Protip: The Rhodes brand frozen rolls are as good as anything you’re going to make yourself.

If you want to steal our idea, go for it – and if you want to go extra hard Thanksgiving morning, too, you’ve gotta tackle these adorable and delicious-looking turkey cinnamon rolls.

All you need are cinnamon rolls, some bacon, a few piece of candy corn, some candies for the eyes, and maybe some pretzels to make these festive little gobblers come to life.

You stick the bacon like the fans of a tail, put the candy eyes and candy corn nose on the front, and use the pretzel sticks for feet.

It hardly takes longer than 20 minutes, and if your kids are up early (I know they are) you can definitely rope them into helping.

The promise of a warm cinnamon roll with bacon should be bribe enough to get some help from anyone in the house, if you ask me!

Get a Pumpkin and Creme Pie From McDonalds – While They Last

Let’s talk about pumpkin and pumpkin spice for a second, okay? I’m not the biggest fan of the (in)famous and largely beloved Starbucks‘ Pumpkin Spice Latte, but they do make a killer pumpkin scone.

I don’t care for pumpkin pie, but have a pumpkin bar recipe that’s out of this world.

Maybe you love autumn but you don’t love pumpkin at all, to which I say, to each their own – but then this post probably isn’t for you.

For those of us who enjoy some autumnal-flavored desserts that include some kind of pumpkin pie spice, McDonald’s is once again throwing their hat in the ring with their Pumpkin and Creme Pie.

I mean, it’s no McRib, but neither of them are like actual food, so let’s not pretend anyone is better than anyone else around here, eh?

The Pumpkin and Creme pies at McD’s are much like their hot apple pies – they’re doughy pockets with buttery, flaky outer crust that hold, in this case, some stuff that has the flavor and consistency of a pumpkin pie slathered in whipped cream.

Like the McRib and many other menu items people really like, this pie won’t be around for long. It will probably hang out until around Thanksgiving, before disappearing in favor of something more Christmas-y.

I have no idea what that might be, but i would love to see a hot chocolate inspired pie, wouldn’t you?

Enjoy, my pumpkins! Autumn is here, but before you know it, the dreary winter chill will descend, so don’t miss out!

6 Things Subway Employees Love…and 10 Things They Definitely Don’t

There’s no denying that if you’re traveling and want an alternative to burgers and fries, you’ve probably found yourself standing in line at a Subway.

And even though an Irish court recently decided their bread is more sugar than, well, bread, it turns out people still find plenty to love.

6. Clean up after yourselves, people!

We’re all adults here. Supposedly.

Well, we started on a high note, so let’s head down a more negative path together now…because I mean, it’s Subway.

We had no trouble tracking down 10 things customers do that employees consider less than kosher.

10. Just get it all out of the way up front.

Like everything else in life.

5. Because sometimes you need a sandwich at 10am?

I guess maybe you want to take it on a hike or something.

4. The one thing they don’t premake.

3. They don’t know about the spreadable avocado, I guess.

It’s bread and meat and cheese, folks!

This Egg Trick Video Shows You How to Make an Egg Envelope

I know there are probably more than a few things that show up online that claim to “blow your mind,” but listen – you have to at least give this TikTok a try and let me know what you think.

It showcases the latest in TikTok cooking trends – a delicate egg envelope.

See? You didn’t even know that was a thing, and now you’re thinking you’re totally curious just what in the heck I’m talkin about, right?

Image Credit: TikTok

An egg envelope is just a cute little way to have your over-easy egg tucked into the egg whites – a perfect bite that you don’t need silicone cups and an air fryer to achieve.

Image Credit: TikTok

Here’s the video. If you ask me, it’s cute and it looks like it would enable you to get a really nice yolk-to-white ratio.

I’m not sure how you would do it with toast though…maybe put the envelope on top and just enjoy the whole bite?

♬ What If (I Told You I Like You) – Johnny Orlando & Mackenzie Ziegler

I’m guessing that, like most things on the internet that involve baking or cooking and a video that looks like it would be simple, this is anything but – just ask anyone who has tried to flip the perfect over-easy egg, right?

Image Credit: TikTok

Still, it seems like a fun little trick to try. Something that might impress the company the next time their in town (maybe even your mother-in-law!).

If you give this one a shot, let us know how it turns out. I want to see pictures in the comments or it didn’t happen!

An Irish Court Ruled That Subway Doesn’t Serve Actual Bread

There can be no doubt that Americans eat a lot of things – and on a regular basis – that are essentially banned in other countries. Chains like McDonalds even have to adhere to higher food standards abroad.

Well… the time has come for Subway too. They’re going to have to shape up their bread or start calling it something else in Ireland, because the courts there have ruled that whatever is on the outside of their meats and cheeses, it’s not bread.

Technically.

Image Credit: Pixabay

Here’s why…

For purposes of tax laws in Ireland, Subway cannot classify their bread as such because of its high sugar content.  Instead, it gets a label of “confectionary or fancy baked good.”

The case that led up to the ruling centered around whether or not Subway’s bread counts as a “staple food,” which would exempt it from the Value Added Tax and save Subway billions of dollars.

Sadly (for them, not Ireland), the amount of sugar in the bread – around a shocking 10% of the weight of the flour – far exceed the standard of 2% stated in the law.

Image Credit: Wikipedia

If you, like me, don’t understand numbers, that means that Subway’s bread contains around 5x more sugar than Ireland allows for something to be considered bread and not cake.

The court ruled that “the argument depends on the acceptance of the prior contention that the Subway heated sandwich contains ‘bread’ as defined, and therefore can be said to be food for the purposes of the Second Schedule rather than confectionary. Since that argument has been rejected, this subsidiary argument must fail.”

Yikes!

Well, there you have it. The next time you grab a Subway, just know you’re basically eating a cake sandwich.

Which is perfect if you enjoy a little salty with your sweet!

What do you think? Was this court a bit too salty itself?

Comparisons of Food Served vs. How It Was Advertised

Let me know if you’ve experienced this kind of situation before: you’re at a restaurant or browsing online looking at a menu and you see a dish that looks absolutely delightful.

So you order it up and when it finally arrives…you shake your head in disgust because you definitely did NOT get what was advertised.

What a bummer that is!

The people who shared these photos definitely had the same experience, as you’re about to see…

These food fails are enough to make a person cry…let’s take a look…

1. That…does not look good.

Can I speak to the chef, please?

5. Yowza! Not cool at all!

I call this a huge pile of failure.

Top is menu bottom is what they served me. No, millennials didn’t kill Appleby’s, they committed suicide. from pics

6. Doesn’t look very “grande” to me.

They didn’t put a whole lot of effort into this, did they?

7. That looks absolutely revolting.

But I might be able to eat it in a pinch…

I’m gonna need to speak to the manager.

9. Someone quit halfway through making this sad taco.

This is a disgrace.

The 3 pieces of lettuce was a nice touch I guess from ExpectationVsReality

10. What do you expect from the mall food court.

That’s YOUR fault!

11. What am I looking at here?

Can someone help me out?

12. Someone threw up all over it.

Nice try, though!

This is why you check your food before you leave the restaurant… from ExpectationVsReality

Hmmm, that’s not good…

Has this ever happened to you?

If it has, please share your stories with us in the comments. And share some photos too, if you have ’em! Thanks!
