Personalized pizzas made with naan crusts. They were a hit.
Today I baked healthy banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and a 9x13” pan of apple crisp.
I baked a pan of marinaded tofu. Used to make them regularly but it had been a long time. they are delish! Half the batch is in the freezer for a few meals when I am too tired/lazy to cook.
baked a batch of brownies yesterday. We will have the leftovers tonight warmed with chocolate ice cream ontop
Yesterday i was going through my loose recipe clippings and came across an old newspaper clipping. The paper was really yellowed so im assuming it is an old clipping probably from the 70's. This morning i deciced to bake this recipe. It is called Blueberry Coffee Cake. I have about 5 large freezer bags of blueberries so i need to use them up! I am going to take a pic of this and post it and the recipe with the pic.
The Blueberry Coffee Cake turned out great! I didnt put the topping that the recipe calls for. I made a creamage with milk and icing sugar. Super good taste.

I DIDNT USE THE TOPPING BECAUSE HUBBY IS DIABETIC AND I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO SWEET FOR HIM.

I also had a cherry pound cake recipe that i had clipped from the local "guardian" paper we use to receive weekly. Again it was the best, i cannot recreate without the recipe. I swear these newspaper clipping recipe was the best.
savabuck i have both recipes: the Sour Cream Coffee Cake and also the Cherry Pound Cake and would be happy to share with you if you want them!
Whipped up a batch of Banana Muffins this morning, I had some bananas that looked like they had reach banana bread stage but to my surprise they were still quiet firm but I was committed

I’ve never been much of a baker especially since we became vegan but today I tried my hand and chewy chocolate chip cookies and they are freaking amazing. Next time I’ll adapt it and make a s’mores version.
Now I’m really going to have to workout today :shock:

Busy weekend when it comes to the baking, I have made:
Banana Muffins - My Bananas looked like they were Banana Bread ready but still quite firm, but they had been peeled so I was committed
Pineapple Upside Down Cake - I had some fresh Pineapple to use up and did not want to look for a recipe so relied on an old favourite
Luscious Lemon Ricotta Cookies - The recipe was calling to me, I am obsessed with all things Ricotta
Garlic Parmesan Focaccia - I am planning to make soup later in the week for dinner and this will be the side
I had planned some Carrot Muffins but ran out of time, oh well maybe during the week or next weekend
This morning, i raided the freezer and took out a Tarte aux Sucre and a Dates Cake, both of which were baked in December. We didnt get around to eating them at Christmas!
there is no baking involved in this cake, but after watching the video I was so intrigued to try making one. I'm not permitted any of this cake atm, but my guys would probably dig into it. meh? :shrug: maybe I'll keep this as a back burner recipe for another time.
The video is very neat though.
