Biscuits

I tried a new recipe this morning. They were a to dry to me. Shug and Ella drenched them in honey - with no complaints.

Homemade Chocolate Chip Muffins

>

> These muffins turned out really good. Some of them had the chips sprinkled on top and the others had the chips sandwhiched in the middle.  I thought this way looked really good - the kids of course wanted the on top ones.  I used the recipe from Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook.  I got this as a wedding gift 14 yrs ago.  I have been using it more and more since I started cooking more from scratch.  I did add vanilla which was not called for and added an additional 1/4 cup of sugar.  The kids loved them.  I will be making these again and playing around with other add ins such as blueberries, and some non traditional muffin mix ins.

I've Lost My Mind...

I might have actually lost my mind.  I started a very restrictive diet on Monday.  I hate diets and believe in eating a well balanced intake while getting moderate exercise and the rest will take care of itself.  Only this is not what I have been doing for the past several months. So to that end, I am eating really healthy for a month to get myself back on track.  I will keep baking as my problem was never that I ate to much of what I baked.  I just ate too much of everything else.  Maybe with less eating I will have more time to blog about my baking!

Chocolate Chip Sweet Rolls

This was best attempt at making the Pioneer Woman's Chocolate Chip Sweet Rolls.   They turned out pretty good and I had the help of 3 children and Sister.  I think I may have heard angels singing when I took my first bite! If you like the size of your bum then DO NOT make these.  Many thanks to PW for the splendid directions.  I'm planning to get so good at following her recipes that she's gonna need want to invite me out to assist her in some cooking!  I have a long way to go.

Homemade Bread

I love making bread. This bread is easy and delicious. The recipe I use for this is vegan and contains no sugar. Sometimes I make bread just because I love the way it makes the house smell. I got the recipe from http://theonewithallthekids.blogspot.com/. Thanks one with all the kids!
