What did you bake today ? OK if not from scratch

Spice Pound Cake (made with vanilla yogurt instead of Greek because that's what we had). Served with a compote of peaches, apricots, and berries.

I’ve been baking less now that weather is heating up, but I did throw in some cookies the other day - oatmeal mint chip that I had mixed up before and frozen.

I have to freeze another batch of cookie dough balls. Those are so convenient and such a nice way to end an evening -- fresh baked cookies (in a nicely limited amount!). The David Lebovitz recipe for Kitchen Sink Cookies works super well with whatever odds and ends of things you have to use up in your pantry -- freezes great -- and bakes up lovely.

This is from last weekend, but I made a garlic and herb sourdough l

Today, I’ve got a blueberry sourdough in progress. It’s raining and a nice day to bake.

Angel food cake and then breaking it up, covering with a pudding/sour cream mix and the ending with cherry pie filling. DS's favorite. It will be served tomorrow

Peanut Butter Brownies. So yum.

I'm making paella for my father this week. The best recipes for paella I have found is on the Youtube vlog Spain on a Fork . Truly a cool channel for those who like food from Spain or just want to try something new. Yum.

Baked my 88 yr old Dad his favorite two layer white cake with fudge icing. When I dropped it off to him we gave each other "air" hugs as we call them. I would have loved to just hug him.

SK's Jacked Up Banana Bread. Added bittersweet chocolate chips and dried cranberries and nuts. Very easy recipe, one bowl, no mixer needed. Looks good, smells great! DH will be pleased.

Poor kids have to have something........they have only been to the doctor, dentist and the zoo once.

I didn't bake but I made Rice Krispy treats

 

[Imzadi]

No baking this week. But I did swap out some really old spices for new ones. Wow! It really does make a difference. I was adding more and more of a spice, but I realize now, since using the new jars, that I just wasn't getting a flavorful punch or the extra nuances that new spices have.

For Father's Day, I made my DH's favorite cake: Tres Leches. Very decadent and already gone.
