As soon as the butter gets to room temperature I'm going to try out PrincessFiona's pecan shortbread cookies. I will substitute walnuts, 'cause I don't have any pecans. I'm only making half the recipe. The last time my DH had shortbread (store bought), he didn't like it.

cheese cake tasted great, if i do say so myself.
Hey, one of the nicest things you can do is to give yourself a pat on the back. You go, girl.
My brain went on vacation while I was measuring and adding the flour. I made half the recipe, so I add 1/2 cup at a time. And then, I wasn't sure if I had added that last 1/2 cup of flour.
I PMed PrincessFi in a panic. She gave me suggestions for testing. Well, those cookies are fabulous. My DH likes them. I don't know how I will manage to stop eating them before they run out.
I made them with 1/2 hard and 1/2 soft, whole grain wheat flour. I haven't seen all purpose, whole grain, wheat flour since the early '80s, so that's what I do instead. No one would notice that they are "healthy".
BTW, the recipe is here: http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/f43/pecan-shortbread-cookies-69169.html
I will definitely be making those again.

There is so much carb in this house at the moment that I don't think I'll be baking for quite some time. But if I were to bake that multi=grain bread sounds like a winner!

I have some new flours and add in ingredients I want to use to tweak my basic multi-grain (flours) dough. I will try to jot down the measures/weights as I go. I will be in the testing/experiment stage.
I baked two loaves of French bread and have some dough proofing for a small pain di mie loaf. Glenn gave me a small pain di mie pan for Christmas and I couldn't wait to use it. Yum. Can't wait.
Not baking, but I was in the mood for peanut butter fudge, so I made some using creamy peanut butter and added some chopped macadamia nuts for fun. It'll be ready for sampling any time now!!!

i'm thinking a cheese cake. lots of cream cheese in fridge. and stuff for different kinds of crust. gotta think what kind of flavor i want in the cheesecake.
I am trying to resist the temptation to make shortbread cookies.
