What did you bake today ? OK if not from scratch

I LOVE making bundt cakes ❤️
This is a lemon one I made today, for the grandparents that are coming over for dinner, to see DD19, who’s home this weekend from college.
I also make pumpkin, key lime, banana and I will soon try to make a cherry one for DH.

I love waffles. ❤️ I just got this wonderful, professional level waffle maker. I always wanted one like the hotel buffets have, where I can flip the waffles over while baking. It has a temperature gauge so I can make my waffles extra crispy.

I've been making waffles every day. 🥰 First day was pumpkin flax waffles. I used the Kodiak Cakes Protein Pancake mix. I doctor the mix up by adding extra cinnamon, ginger, vanilla and sugar.

Next I made Kodiak Cakes dark chocolate waffles. I added milk to make it more milk chocolatey, ginger cinnamon, vanilla and enough sugar that I didn't need to add on syrup or a topping. It was so crispy, I just held it and munched on it like a cookie.

Today, I used Jiffy cornbread mix and made cornbread waffles. The taste was okay, but the cornbread crumbled too much and flaked all over the wafflemaker and between the grids. 🙁 What a pain to clean up. :headache: I'll have to tweak the recipe some more.

Made burrito dogs last night.

Today will be "Big Sandwich". DGD loves it. I make it and send it to their house about every other week.
I will also be baking corn dog casserole for DGS to try out.

I had one of those that made 4 full sized waffles at a time. It turned out perfect waffles every time. Unfortunately, my daughter really, really liked it and I gave it to her for the grandkids waffles. I haven't seen one like it since. Your waffles sound declicious:)

Today, I made mashed potato waffles. On the Waffle poll thread, someone mentioned she makes sweet potato waffles. That sounds so heavenly. 🥰 But, I don't have sweet potatoes yet.

I do have mashed potato mix. I read some recipes. Most added flour & baking powder to get a puffy waffle texture to the mashed potatoes. So, after I made some mashed potatoes with butter and cracked black pepper, I added some Kodiak Cakes protein buttermilk pancake mix in. It was about a third of the amount of pancake mix (dry) to two-thirds amount of rather liquidy mashed potatoes. It firmed up with the pancake batter added. I didn't have any cheddar cheese, but did have a couple slices of Swiss cheese.

One recipe said to make the batter on the thick side, plop it in the middle of the waffle maker and allow it to spread out as the maker is sealed. So, I plopped some down, laid down the slices of Swiss cheese, then sandwiched it with another layer of the mashed mix over the Swiss cheese so it wouldn't stick to the grids when melted.

It worked! Could use some tweaking. Definitely will get some cheddar cheese instead of the Swiss, and add some sour cream in, or save it as a topping. I was also missing an egg, which all recipes used. So, I was surprised my waffle held together. But the Kodiak Cakes mix can be made without eggs.

Another time, I'll add bacon bits. Another time I will add chopped broccoli instead. I am going to have so much fun experimenting with my waffle maker & savory waffles. 🥰

I make "chaffles" sometimes for DH (has to watch carbs). The ones with cheddar cheese and bacon bits in them are my favorite!
 
Banana Bread.
Boring I know but I had a taste for the BATTER. hahaha (my favorite next to Tollhouse).

My husband: "You know you're going to die, right"? I told him I would have died for the past 70 years ago.
 
Small batch of chocolate chip cookies from "dessertfortwo.com". Such a foolproof recipe and makes the perfect amount of cookies for just the 2 of us. I really like a lot of her recipes.
 
Baked a tomato pie/pizza with home grown NJ tomatoes!

Only one this year, sad to say. Our tomatoes were delicious but not overly abundant!!
 
DD's birthday cake; she's 29 today. She LOVES key lime pie (but I think it tastes like vomit) so didn't want to make a pie. I found a recipe for key lime poke cake and thought "Why not?" I've never made a poke cake (the whole jello in my cake thing puts me off) but this calls for a filling (instead of the jello) made with cream, sweetened condensed milk, lime zest, lime juice. It Is Delicious! I made a 9X13 white cake, poked it a bunch, then made the filling and spread it on the hot cake. Once it chilled in the fridge, I spread homemade whipped cream on top, then decorated it with more lime zest and raspberries... with "Happy Birthday Sarah" written in purple gel (because that's what is in the decorating drawer) and 29 candles! Can't wait to try it!
