What did you bake today ? OK if not from scratch

[LoveDaisy]

I picked up a Meyer lemon cake box mix from Trader Joe’s. I love lemon but worried it would taste artificial. It wasn’t bad. The cake was kind of bland (if I made it again I would add some zest) but the glaze/frosting had good lemon flavor.

While it’s not baking I made and canned 12 jars of pasta sauce.

Friday I baked Double Chocolate (Gluten free) cookies and Sugar Cookies for our family lunch yesterday

I made ricotta for the first time. It was surprisingly easy and seemed fancier than it was when I served it.

I made home made shortcake for strawberry shortcake. I love the home made kind the best, but my husband only eats the store bought ones. You know,the ones that are 3 inches round! Oh well, I have that delicious shortcake all to myself

I made Paula Deen’s Not Your Momma Banana Pudding for a client tomorrow. It’s her family’s favorite and she’s so sweet

Made these "cookies" I saw online. Just 5 ingredients and no flour.

2 cups shredded coconuts (sweetened or unsweetened)
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup sliced almonds
1 cup chocolate chips - milk, semi-sweet or dark (your choice)
Half of a 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

Mix everything together and drop by cookie scoop (I used a #30) on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake at 350 F for 12-14 minutes. Made 18 cookies.

Very similar in taste to the Magic Cookie Bar recipe but no graham cracker base layer. These were all that were left since last night when I made them

My DH loves the refrigerator cake you make with the chocolate wafer cookies he was so sad when they were discontinued. I saw that people were making them with the Tate’s Bake Shop crispy cookies. I bought the double chocolate ones and made individual refrigerator cakes. Hoping they are good!

I made Pizzelles which were great as usual.

Made M&M cookies which were huge disappointment.

My granddaughter had cake pops in her wedding colors instead of the traditional 3 layer wedding cake. She had a 3 tiered wooden platform instead and holes to put the pops in on each level. It was really cute.

We're moving, so trying clean out fridge, freezer and pantry. Corned beef, onions, and potatoes in crockpot for dinner. Key lime pie for dessert!

ETA: I had a single Pillsbury pie crust in the fridge, or I would've done a graham cracker crust. My first effort ever for key lime pie or meringue -- we'll see.

My dad surprised my mom today by making her a homemade banana cream pie and she LOVED it and I never knew Dad was a good baker of desserts. Next thing Dad's gonna try to make Mom a cake and I was surprised that my father could bake anything because usually Dad is a food wizard and likes to cook anything he likes

Strawberry season is ending so I ran to a farm stand yesterday to grab a few pints and made strawberry shortcake for dessert last night.
