Nutella Pastry Rolls – Puff pastry dough is filled with Nutella hazelnut spread and twisted into a beautiful pastry roll before being baked and drizzled with cinnamon icing.

With Halloween behind us, the season of eating and baking can truly begin! I love making soups, toasts, and baked goods during these cooler months. So get excited for some comforting foods to be shared with you soon!

For today’s recipe, we will focus on the baked goods, specifically puff pastry. I made these Nutella Pastry Rolls using frozen puff pastry and Nutella hazelnut spread. That’s it! Well, I did also add a cinnamon icing on top, but the rolls themselves just have those two ingredients.

Without further ado, here are my Nutella Pastry Rolls!

Tips & Tricks

  1. Use fresh Nutella. A freshly-opened jar of Nutella is much softer in texture and easier to spread. I have tried using an older jar before and almost tore my dough trying to spread it!
  2. Must serve warm! I have eaten these rolls room temperature and they just aren’t the same. The butter in the dough gets firm, as does the Nutella. Just pop them in the microwave for 10 seconds to warm them back up and make them gooey and rich inside.
  3. Twist and twist. The more you twist the strips of dough, the tighter the dough will get and it will eventually form a log. If the strip looks like a corkscrew, you need to keep twisting!

    My husband and son are die hard nutella lovers so I had to make these pastries for them. They were so happy and devoured half of them on their own (which made me very UNhappy).

Classic Pot Roast – chuck roast slowly cooked in Classic Pot Roast – chuck roast slowly cooked in a jus made of beef broth, carrots, celery, and onions! Balsamic vinegar, thyme, and mustard give that jus a kick of flavor! 

Cold weather is in full effect, you guys! So comfort food needs to be on the menu! My husband wanted to try a good pot roast, so I used a combination of recipes to come up with the perfect one! 

The secret? Traditional aromatics (carrots, celery, onions) PLUS balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard set this roast apart with a tangy kick!

Pro tip: Sear the roast first to give it beautiful color on the outside – if you skip this step, the meat will look almost gray when cooked in the broth!

Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Sage Browned Butter – Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Sage Browned Butter – fluffy pillows of sweet potato dumplings tossed in a sage and browned butter sauce for a comforting pasta dish you didn't know you needed! 

This gnocchi was inspired by a dish I had at a local restaurant years ago, you guys! I was skeptical about sweet potato gnocchi with just butter and sage – no cream? no tomato? But MAN, was I wrong! 

The sweet potato gnocchi is even MORE flavorful than the original! It shines on its own with little help from a heavy sauce – that's why it pairs so perfectly with a light toss in sage and browned butter!

Pro tip: Use a potato ricer to break up the sweet potatoes – don't use a food processor or it will make the gnocchi gummy and pasty! The ricer makes it super fluffy!

Perfect for fall dinners, Thanksgiving, date nights, or anytime you want restaurant-quality comfort food at home!

Sour Cream Doughnuts – dense and crispy on the o Sour Cream Doughnuts – dense and crispy on the outside, moist and cakey on the inside! Your favorite old-fashioned cake doughnuts ready in half the time as yeast doughnuts!

These are also known as old-fashioned doughnuts, you guys! They're bulky, firm on the outside, but oh-so-moist on the inside! The BEST combination of textures – crunchy yet chewy, dense yet moist! 

I fell in love with these at a local bakery, and now my husband surprises me with them from time to time! Do I have a great man or what?!

Pro tip: Don't roll the dough too thin or the doughnuts will turn to hockey pucks when you fry them! You're better off making the dough too thick than too thin!

Perfect for weekend breakfast, Easter morning, brunch, or anytime you want homemade doughnuts without the wait!

I'm more of a green enchiladas fan than red, you guys! While this sauce isn't traditional green enchilada sauce, it's got similar flavor notes! Plus, with the added milk, it's super creamy and decadent! 

The secret? A roux makes the sauce ultra creamy without needing tons of heavy cream!

Pro tip: Don't skip the lime juice! It's KEY to balancing out the flavors – this is NOT an optional ingredient!

Perfect for Cinco de Mayo, dinner parties, family dinners, or anytime you want creamy enchiladas! 🎉

Made with my classic pie dough for the flakiest crust, then filled with seasoned beef, onions, and tomatoes!

Pro tip: Make sure to chill the dough before rolling it out – this lets it rest and firm up so it gets nice and flaky while baking!

Perfect for Cinco de Mayo parties, game day, meal prep, or anytime you want delicious hand-held snacks!
