Today I took the time to bake a few things. I thought you all might like to see a peek into my kitchen.
Master Baking Mix - I was going to make biscuits for dinner tonight, and while looking through recipes at my Mom's house earlier today, I came across an old recipe for a baking mix that I used to make years ago. I was so excited that I brought it home and made it. Since there is only two of us, I actually only made a fourth of the recipe. :) I'm looking forward to making up some yummy biscuits tonight and hopefully having extra mix to last for a couple more weeks.
When I was still living at home (and single), I used to make granola a lot. In fact, I even had my own special way of making it. Granola is one of my favorite breakfast foods and I've been wanting to make some for a while now. I happened to be going to my parent's house today, so I ask if I could make this at their house (since I only had about 2 of the ingredients!). So this afternoon, I baked up a big batch of granola at my parent's house (don't worry, I left half of it at home for my siblings). There's something special about waking up and eating a bowl of warm granola with milk. Mmmmm... I can hardly wait for breakfast.
My wonderful Joe has been super busy lately and I've hardly seen him. I wanted to do something extra special for dinner tonight so I decided to make a batch of Chocolate Chip cookies. In the process of mixing it up, I accidentally added too much butter so I ended up doubling the recipe. Of course, there's no way Joe and I can eat 3 dozen cookies, so I divided the dough into 3 sections and put two of them into freezer bags to freeze.
What's more inviting than hot, fresh-from-the-oven Chocolate Chip cookies with cold milk? Yummy!
How about you all? Have you been baking anything in your kitchen recently? I'd love to hear about it. And if you have time, leave me a comment with one of your favorite baking recipes.

really Gretchen?! y'all couldn't eat 3 dozen cookies - 2 of you? I probably could eat them all by myself. shhh, don't tell anyone. =) {grin}
ReplyDeleteI just made up a big batch of Almond cookies today. It started out as something that needed to get done, but then turned into an all morning deal! I guess that's life with three two and under! At least we had fun making them.. Your cookies look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love to bake, but haven't done much baking since my husband deployed. I used to bake for his co workers 2-3 times a week. As much as I enjoy baking, and miss indulging my husband's co workers, I'm also enjoying a break from all the dirty dishes and, not to mention, the expense. Baking can be an expensive hobby. I did make snickerdoodles last week for the family who took my daughter camping for a night. I use this recipe:

My favorite thing to bake right now is Cinnamon Popcorn (can you call that baking?) You just take 1/2c. butter and some cinnamon and sugar and melt it in the microwave, then add vanilla. Then stir it up, pour it over 8-10cups airpopped (or natural store bought) popcorn and bake for 10minutes at 300F. Yummy! I've also tried my hand at homemade pizza dough. That didn't turn out to well.....
