Today has already been a busy day. I had to get a haircut, grocery shop, do some cleaning, do the laundry, make home made mac & cheese, make an improvised gluten-free "shortcake" by modifying the Pamelas Banana Bread recipe (making some guesses there), and prepping the strawberries.
I will end up doing all of the cooking and everything else, but I won't get to as much cleaning as I wanted.
Sometimes you just need to stop and give time to yourself. This weekend has been about getting in touch with my creative side. 3 new squares for my blanket and raspberry brownies. #knitting#crafts#baking#handmade
Good morning tooting friends. Slept incredibly well last night, I get super fidgety when I’m tired & I was that way by about 9.30pm last night probably due to the lovely walk yesterday. A little frost outside this morning, first I’ve seen this year although I know there’s been another one at least. Oven on as soon as I got up at 6am & I have freshly baked bread by 7.30am, smells awesome. I’ve already had eggs 🍳 for breakfast though, this will be lunch once it’s cooled. Gym first up today then a visit to my daughters to drop some things off & a coffee. I enjoyed yesterday so much I have it in mind to go for another walk this afternoon. I’ll see how I feel later.
Happy Monday everyone #MondayMorning#Sourdough#Baking#FeedlingGood
My favorite artist and dear friend Matt Beard, maybe not in that order, and his wife Ami were supposed to visit us tomorrow morning. So, I started to bake his favorite cinnamon rolls this afternoon.
Right when I was getting ready to let the rolls rise a second time, I got a text that he and Ami have cold like symptoms and will need to reschedule.
Yikes! What will I do with twelve cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting?
I guess I can drop six rolls off on his porch with a care package, and I will see if the grandkids will take the other six off our hands as a favor. #Baking
I've just popped the recipe for my Pistachio and Pomegranate Blondies up on my website. It's the first non-pie-related recipe there, but I think it holds its own 😂
White chocolate blondies with a pistachio cream, chopped pistachios and pomegranate seeds.
Ein Food-Foto, wie es nicht sein sollte. Das Fotografieren hat Spaß gemacht, die Dutch Babies waren lecker & die Nachbearbeitung war einfach, aber dann bemerkte ich, dass die mittlere Gusseisenpfanne völlig falsch stand. 🙈
A food photo done wrong. Taking the photo was fun, the Dutch Babies tasted great & editing was a breeze. But then I noticed the middle cast-iron pan was totally misplaced. 🙈
Another attempt to mobilise you for #RandomFriday!
This is a bread I bake from time to time, the recipe is quite simple but it takes time because it's a cold fermentation, which means the dough needs to be left in the fridge for at least 12 hours.
Fougasse is kind of like French foccacia. Back in the days when wood-fired ovens were cutting-edge technology, fougasse was used as a sort of "test loaf" to make sure the oven was the right temperature for further baking.
Made a rhubarb tart with frangipane filling. It was fun to braid the slices. If your rhubarb is very fresh and sturdy, I would recommend to blanch them before. #baking#rhubarb#tart
After I put what I believed to be white chocolate chips into my cookies, I looked at the label and noticed that it just says "white chips". Checked the ingredients and ... no cocoa butter. These are palm oil and milk solids with vanilla and sugar.
It's on me for not reading carefully, but in my defense, the word "chocolate" is right there ... just in the Ghirardelli logo. 😡
