I positively love Lemon bars, so of course I had to make them. They turned out great, but I would like a new crust recipe.

Who doesn't love a good pie, so I thought that I would make one. The pie turned out wonderfully. I had a lot of fun making it and, learning how to make a weave for the top of the pie.

Oat meat and chocolate chip Cookies



The other day I made these wonderful cookies they turned out great. They were oat meal and chocolate chip. I have noticed that I am finding easier to make drop cookies than before , now that I have had some experience.    



Homemade noodles

The other day I made these noodles, and they turned out so wonderfully that I just have to put them on my blog . Their made from scratch, I basically used eggs and flower then shaped them the way I wanted. 

  

Pudding

The other day made pudding, and I must say I am very proud of my self . I'm not sure if It really considered baking, but non the less It's a new skill I have learned.  


An Apple Danish


I decide to make an apple danish, the process took me half the day . When I was making the danish I followed everything exactly as the recipe said. First I makes the pastry, then the filling . After that I put the filling in the pastry. After I had started putting the filling on the pastry, I dawned on me that I had only made one danish . As an end result I needed up with a danish the size of my tray. I did learn a few thing from making this recipe, like I should thinking things through. I also learned how to crisscross the to of my pastry. 


This week

This week I experimented with lots of different recipes. I have not had a chance to post everything , so hopefully that will happen to night.

Wonderful chocolate

 
 
This brownie recipe I tried worked wonderfully .It smells magnificent and tastes even better .
The best part was that I learned how to make frosting . In the end, I ended making a double recipe .

  

It worked

 

I finally made bread after three try's repeating the first step, I got my yeast to rise. It was a fun and frustrating process. I definitely learned a new skill and wasted a lot of flower, yeast, water, and salt in the process.  The real trick of this was really finding a recipe that worked. Most of the recipes I found were not very helpful instructionally. At the end of all my recipe searching I steeled on a u-tube video. I post in in resources, so you can see it.

A very plain cookie



I made this sugar cookie recipe. It tastes great but it is very basic,as far as cookies go. If I learned one thing, it's that some pictures don't look a thing like the recipe. It does however make a good dunking cookie. 

A very simple cake



I've made strawberry loaf, and blueberry loaf, but I have never made any kind of cake.So I decided to start off simple, with a carrot cake . It turned our wonderfully, and I think the recipe was marvellous. What I really liked the most about it though was that the recipe did't call for raisins, which I can never stand to eat in a carrot cake . 

A Better Bun



Last time I made buns they turned out really good . I just did't like the recipe, so I went and found a new recipe. It's a little bit more complicated, but it's worth all the effort. The bun had a fabulous taste, and I learned a few things. These buns brown perfectly, because of the glaze the recipe gives to put on them. I also found that if you put the buns on the middle rack they cook much more evenly. In short I learned a lot and found a great recipe. 


My Neglected Recipes

On this blog about my passion project, I have posted only when I have had the time. There for I have not had the time to post everything I have made. So I thought it would be a good idea to post some picture . Here are the other things ,that have not made it on my blog yet. 




Cherrie biscuits: I had so much fun making these. I used my moms old recipe, from her cookbook she has had since she was a kid .








Strawberry loaf : This recipe turned out better than I thought It would. I put a lot more strawberries than the recipe called for. I think the extra strawberries, made it taste really good since I love strawberries.














Blueberry loaf: I think this recipe was a success,I added extra vanilla, and blueberries. The extra ingredient made the blueberry loaf taste fantastic. 





If there is one thing I have learned It's that a little extra vanilla, and a little extra fruit go a long way.

Heavenly bisscotie

When I arrived home today , my intentions seemed pretty straight froward. Make supper,  then of course work on my passion project. I was intent on making bread but I had one small problem we were out of soy cream, and I'm lactose intolerant. So instead I decided to make hamburger buns with the hamburger patties I was making. Who needs store bought buns when you can make them. So any way the buns worked out well. I also made biscotti which to my surprise turned out marvellously.

Simply Delicious Biscuits

Here's the scoop , I've been cooking for years since age 12 to be exact . So when I was told we had to learn something and write about it on a blog .The most natural thing of course seemed to be baking. Since I can cook, but I can't bake worth beans . I would go so far as to say, I could not bake a thing to save my life .

So I decided to start with something simple I made biscuits,they turned out wonderful.
