What are you baking today? | 2014

Here is our daily baking thread for 2014!

I only ate baked goods today, I didn't bake any!

 

[LPBeier]

I baked premade frozen gluten-free chocolate chip cookies. Does that count?

I bought them to help out one of the neighbour kid's school fundraiser. I was surprised they had gluten free, and even more surprised that they are really good. We just bake a couple of cookies each when we are in the mood and that way they aren't sitting around tempting us!

Did you turn on the oven? If so...that works

Did you know they taught us that the first day of both culinary and pastry school?

And yes I did. They are ooey gooey and ready to eat.

The first thing I learning in nursing school was how to wash my hands...

 

[LPBeier]

Oh yeah, we learned that too.

Whitebread and rolls.

Beautiful!

Yesterday I made more of the 100% wheat bread. I've been using it for toast and enjoying it.

I finally baked something! I don't bake anywhere near as much as I cook. Guess I like the main meal better than dessert? Anyway, Bakechef's Brownies recipe has been sitting on my little side table tempting me for months, so I baked it up. It's cooling in our sunroom right now - 30 degrees should get it down to eating temp right quick. They smell so good! I'll have to leave my review in the recipe thread.

Lovely looking bread, salt and pepper.

I made some gluten free banana bread. It was a new recipe and I must say it wasn't the best that I have tasted. It used a lot of new ingredients that were fairly expensive and was much more dry and dense than my usual recipe. Sometimes it is best not to change things up!

 

[Cooking Goddess]

I'll go months without baking, but then once I bake something I get kick-started again. Guess Bakechef's brownies did it! Anyway, my latest was using the blueberries a bought a week ago and making Blueberry-Lemon break. Breakfast will be a happy meal tomorrow!

 

[LPBeier]

Looks great, CG. I have some blueberries. I should make some muffins tomorrow with my regular gluten free recipe. It will make up for the banana bread! Thanks for the inspiration!

 

[Cooking Goddess]

You're welcome LP. Glad to help you move those little blues along. Now I have some bananas that need to go to a happier place. Except I can't find the recipe someone here at DC referenced a few days ago! It sounded so good, but it looks like I'll have to find a different one. I used the same recipe from my BH&G cookbook for years. Now it seems too dry. I've been on the hunt for a really good Banana Bread recipe for a while now...

Mint Macarons with chocolate ganache!

 

[bethzaring]

for the past year I have avoided baking in my tiny kitchen which has limited counter space that gets regularly bombarded with condensation from the skylight above, has a tiny electric oven, not to mention the challenge of high altitude baking. So here I am within a month of moving out and I start baking. I had plans to stay in my sisters' new house while she is off becoming a grandmother again, and had bought ingredients to make a couple of pizzas. But another friend needed a place to stay, so she is staying there. Today I fired up the oven at my apartment and made a pear crisp and some baked potatoes. I plan to make the pizza(s) on Friday.

Beauties!

Beauties!

+1!

Does it count as baking if I made baked macaroni and cheese?
