Defrosted some leftover sugar cookie dough from Christmas and whipped up a quick royal icing so the kids could decorate these.

Just stumbled across this discussion forum and I may never be the same...

I made a poolish tonight and I have exactly NO business doing things like this... I’m going to try for either baguettes or pizza dough tomorrow, I think. (Assuming I’m not spending all my time cleaning up an explosion.)

We ate a few slices before I realized I should take a pic of my first loaf of bread in over 20 years.

I need people's recommendations for a good pure vanilla extract that won't break the bank. I'm baking a lot more and the McCormick vanilla extract just doesn't cut it anymore. It seems to be mostly alcohol and not enough vanilla flavor.

I use the large bottle that Costco sells.

If you want to go all out, Nielsen Massey brand is the absolute best for baking. I keep a jar of the vanilla bean paste on hand for indulgent desserts like creme brulee or homemade ice cream that call for vanilla bean.

I prefer Nielsen-Massey (look for sales, online coupon codes, sites with rebates/points-for-gift-cards, etc. -- those can really help). I also make my own extract. There are recipes online and reliable vendors for vanilla beans. Trader Joe's Bourbon Vanilla extract can work, too. Also look at King Arthur for vanilla and vanilla paste.

Tried my hand at making eclairs for the first time for Valentine’s Day. Turned out okay. I didn’t try to make them neat since they were just for immediate family. Also made muffuletta bread and made vegetarian muffulettas for Fat Tuesday.

Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread. Used a spiced sugar blend instead of just cinnamon, added dried fruit, dark chocolate chips, chopped almonds and pistachios, and the "crumbs" of a bag of Disneyland toffee. DH's day was swamped with difficult meetings. This will make his evening a lot more pleasant.

We made 2 pans of meatballs today. Family loved them. I did them in the oven (so, baked) and then had linguini with a tomato sauce. I used a bit of stewing beef in the sauce for meat flavouring. Very nice for a change.

Made a couple days ago, but finished eating today: Chicken and sausage gumbo. I made the roux in the oven and made extra. Next time, the roux making step will already be done.
