I started this week with lots of items on my to-do list and so many baking ideas. Fast forward to Wednesday and I was suddenly half way through the week, tons of emails to answer, deadlines to meet, laundry to fold, and my to-do list was getting longer instead of shorter. That’s life, I get it.
The best solution to all these problems would be hiring an intern to do all the stuff I don’t want to deal with. Like entering business transaction in Quickbooks, making invoice in Quickbooks, categorizing things in Quickbooks, and just dealing with Quickbooks in general. Cause let’s be real – there was a reason why I changed my major mid-way in college. Accounting isn’t my forte. Oh, and I would also need said intern to do my laundry, clean the house, and occasionally cook. Is this possible? Can this happen? Probably not.
Instead of searching for an intern/maid/cook/person-that-will-do-everything-I-don’t-want-to-do, I decided to make popovers. It doesn’t solve my issue of long to-do lists that never end, but the deliciousness just overrules it all. It’s much easier to deal with it when you have this goodness by your side. Now excuse me as I go eat these and pretend I have nothing else to do.
- For the popovers:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup nonfat vanilla yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour
- For Coating:
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Make sure to grease the muffin tin or popover pan to avoid any sticking.
- Place melted butter, eggs, yogurt, salt and cinnamon in a bowl (or blender) and mix. Once everything is blended together add in flour and mix for about 10 seconds, just smooth.
- Pour batter into muffin/popover tin. Fill about half way. Bake for 35 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let popovers cool for a few minutes in the pan. Once ready remove and place on cooling rack.
- Now melt the butter. This will used as the “glue” for the cinnamon sugar coating. In a separate bowl mix sugar and cinnamon.
- One melted, using a pastry brush, brush the butter over the popovers then cover in cinnamon sugar coating.
- Best when served fresh out the oven.

Yum! What I would suggest is either using QuickBooks Online or utilize a hosting company to host your QuickBooks. Then you can have either a virtual assistant or a QuickBooks ProAdvisor or a bookkeeper log in remotely and do all this accounting stuff for you.
Oh my goodness, this looks really delicious! Certainly beats the Pillsbury cinnamon buns that I made from the weird twisty can-thing this weekend!
Haha! Nothing wrong with that weird twisty can! I make those all the time. A lot easier (and quicker) than making them from scratch.
Oh my this looks delicious!!! Seriously you’re outdoing yourself every time. I’m so happy you continued with this baking challenge.
Aww, thanks Christine! Love the challenge and how it makes me bake every week. :)
I seriously talk about hiring an intern on a weekly basis! I still haven’t found anyone willing to write my blog posts in exchange for cookie scraps, though. (I hold out hope.) These popovers look delicious–I’m adding them to my to-make list!
