Busy week? We figured. It’s about that time. That’s why we’re listening back to the show where Faith and her food buddies shared lots of ideas for rush-hour meals and instant desserts. . .delicious little numbers you can whip up in no time at all, often with the stuff you’ve already got in your pantry or fridge. Ease is the name of the game. Think: Slow cooker chocolate fondue, puff pastry Napoleons, Klondike sundaes with dulce de leche, chocolate-covered Cheerios, and a chocolate cake you can bake in a mug in about two minutes. Fun stuff you can do in a flash—you don’t even need a recipe.

Ricotta cheese with cinnamon and sugar in a little pretty bowl. . .
My dad used to mush together softened butter and add cinnamon sugar and blend together into a spreadable paste. Then schmear it on white bread and put it in the toaster. It would melt and get all bubbly. The bread would be soaked with butter and cinnamon deliciousness. I just remembered this and must make it for my kids. Maybe with challah or even brioche bread.
Sometimes the simplest things are the best. Now I’m going to have to make some cinnamon toast tonight. Thanks for the idea!
