What did you bake today ? OK if not from scratch

I made Prue’s maple-pecan-brown butter madeleines… it was a technical challenge on the Great British Baking Show. They’re pretty good!

Tomorrow at work we are having a decorate your office contest. The staff will go trick or treating to see the decorated offices and vote for their favorite.

My team is doing a comfy fall scene. We decided to make cookies instead of giving away candy.

Chocolate chip

Cookie number 2. Peanut butter

Banana bread. Added dried cranberries (macerated in Bourbon) and chopped dark chocolate. Used Muscovado sugar. Yum!

I started my holiday prep! I went to Costco yesterday and the fresh cranberries looked fantastic so I made and canned 9 jars of orange cranberry sauce.

Baked 2 loaves of Cranberry Pecan Bread. Added chopped dark chocolate and sprinkled cardamom sugar on top. So yummy! Gave one loaf as a gift to a very happy recipient. Not giving away the other one -- it's calling my name!

 

[tinkerbellandpeterpan]

Small batch of chocolate chip cookies (3 just the dough, no chips for me, 6 regular to share with DH, and 3 with choc chips and pecans for DH). Recipe makes 12 small to med size cookies.

Small batch of peanut butter cookies and same peanut butter cookies with nutella in the middle are on tap for tomorrow. Should make six medium size cookies. Hopefully the recipe goes well and DH likes at least one of the variations.

Decided to blend the above Cranberry Pecan Bread recipe with my favorite Pumpkin Bread recipe. Made the Pumpkin Bread, added pecans, 1 bag of fresh cranberries, and chopped dark chocolate. DH licked the bowl clean, so that's a good sign! The house smells great and I can't wait to taste the final results.

my baby chickens are laying... goobers came of laying age at the end of fall, we shall see if they figure out the light cycles and slow down at all, but for now I am collecting 6-8 eggs a day. So time to bake.

Tried a flan yesterday

it was ok, my husband ate it so there is a positive. It was thinner and denser than I would have liked, not sure if that was from cooking too long or from a too large pan, but the caramel came out nice. So will try it again.

need to make a cake for my husband's birthday on Monday, have not decided on flavor yet.... got a couple of boxes of spice cakes in the cupboard I should use up and he is not picky unlike my chocolate only child
