What did you bake today ? OK if not from scratch

[LoveDaisy]

My new oven arrives on Friday! I can’t wait to try it out. I stocked up on baking supplies when I drove up to King Arthur on Sunday so I’ll have to start looking at recipes.

I’m feeling a baked good with coffee, so just popped in a Trader Joe’s pumpkin loaf mix into the oven.

I haven’t seen all the pages, but has anyone ever made macarons from scratch?

My daughter was gifted a cookbook and a kit with the mat and pastry bags. So I got the almond flour and almond milk…and now I’m just procrastinating. But need to use the milk before it goes bad.

It seems pretty involved and requires the mixer which I hardly ever drag out. Things need to rest. Never made a meringue.

Anyone with experience to reassure me that it’s not that complicated? I know I should just do it…for my daughter .

My new stove was just delivered! I’m trying to decide what to bake first. Any ideas or suggestions ! I’ll be making my dad granola this weekend, he asked for it right before my stove died.

I think all new ovens should be broken in with chocolate chip cookies.

It’s complicated well at least to me and I buy them already made.
Still I say try them since you have a great mother daughter project ahead

Very Berry scones. It’s a box mix I picked up at King Arthur flour last weekend.

I am in the process. I am trying my hand at sourdough. So far I am in the middle of trying to make bread with an unfed starter. So..... not off to a good start. LOL!

I was told it can be done and since work has been an epic fail today, (working remotely and trying to share a workstation. It did not work and I am offline.) I figured I have nothing to lose, so I'm still working at it. I did feed my starter so we will see what happens with that.

Give it a try. My DD did a great job making them. I think she has only did them once.
They are hard, but she and her BF took a class.

Made banana muffins with chocolate and peanut butter chips for work. And a smaller batch of the pretzel toffee bark I posted previously just for us.

That looks awesome! Good for her a class sounds fun.

I think we are going to try for this weekend…after I pick up some fresh milk

Scones were Uncle Scrooge's favorite treat.

It took me a minute, but I found that comic online. Donald Duck issue #48, 1956. I remember that story from when I was a kid over 60 years ago.

I made devil's food cupcakes (Betty Crocker) and home made chocolate frosting. My grandmother's recipe. Yummy.

Ooohhh...care to share the recipe? DH loves chocolate and homemade frosting would be great as a surprise. Totally understand if you want to hang on to your grandmother's recipe for yourself. Just thought I would ask.

I WFH on Mondays and have been wanting to make granola so today is the day. It’s easy to mix together but takes about an hour to bake, so east to toss in while I work. It’s in the oven now and it smells delightful in here.

I made French toast scones (King Arthur box mix). I’ve not made this kind before I’m curious how they are. They smell delicious.

Just took pumpkin spice muffins out of the oven (added chocolate chips to some....everything is better with chocolate ).
Used the last two eggs. We leave Sunday.
