The branch I am helping in right now (they are short staffed) mentioned they hear about my baking but never see any (thank you pandemic living, no food sharing) but since restrictions are lifting this morning I made:
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Lemon Ricotta Cookies
Some for home and some to take in and share. The Lemon Ricotta Cookies make a large amount (going to be honest, did not count) so I might even have some left to share with another branch.
Red velvet cupcakes
Was moving some stuff around in the fridge and noticed one package of blueberries had some softer berries in it, so I turned them into Sour Cream Blueberry Muffins. But I did substitute Greek Yogurt for Sour Cream as I am running low on Sour Cream.
busy day in the kitchen:
jalapeno cheddar bread
cheese muffins
carrot muffins
cherry pie
mince tarts
had prepared dry ingredients and made pastry dough the night before but still.... took all afternoon
blueberry and coconut muffins
Wanted to make something different with my small spaghetti squash and I found a Quiche, but it was way too cheesy and used Evaporated milk and bread crumbs, so ), so I just modified it to fit into my reducing diet plan. Also used less eggs than they did.
Those mini tart sized ones in the photo, so small, I can have 4 of them as a serving if I want, but maybe that will be too filling, we'll see.

oopsy, for the Ryvita crispbread I ended up grinding 7 of them instead of the 4 listed in the recipe.
There was too much liquid filling so I made 2 small pie tins with more crumbs and filled them.
Havent baked anything in a donkeys age! But im happy to see everyone else has been super busy!
Looks good, @walkonby ! I sent the remnants of that birthday cake out the door with the kids, so no temptations here. It's a fantastic cake even though it {{{horrors!}}} uses a mix, lol! Bakes into a beautiful bundt as you hopefully saw in the pic. 😊 Yes, one day you can bake that cake AND eat it! 🤗 Now......back to the comforts of Noom.Quote:

just so sad what's going on in the world and i try to bake - at least i can make my families happy with buns :)
Last week was a bit of an off week for me, I did not get my normal prep done which means I did not use up things like I normally would. Good news is most made it to this weekend for me to use up. I did lose a few blueberries and one apple but the rest was waiting for me.
Yesterday well we made dinner, I made a cheater Pineapple Upside Down Cake. I had a pineapple that was not very sweet so decided baking with it was my best option and I cheated because I used a cake mix instead of making my own cake.
Today I made:
Blueberries muffins, still had more than needed for my muffins but added them all to use them up
Peanut Butter Cookies, I have a large tub of Kraft Peanut Butter from Costco I want out of my cupboard to make space and I have some peanut butter chips I need to use up. Best laid plans, I still have peanut butter and peanut butter chips but I also have yummy cookies
No Knead Faster Dutch Oven bread, nothing used in this recipe but just wanted to try it. Looking for options to make my own bread if needed. Although just having fresh bread on hand is nice, it is one thing we have stopped buying but we can make.
Tomorrow is another day and I still have apples and ricotta I need to use up.
recently discovered i have a 3rd bag of 10kg all purpose flour; that makes a lot of flour so i need to do even more baking
today i made condensed milk loaves and the one on the left had a coconut flakes spread

Cherry Pie
Had some Ricotta to use up and found a small amount of triple berry mix I wanted out of the freezer so made, Triple Berry Ricotta loaves.
Did not achieve my goal of using up the open Ricotta so looks like I have enough to whip up some Lemon Ricotta Muffins later this week.
I'll add this to the " baked " thread, even though making a batch of stuffed mushroom caps and hollowed out Compari tomatoes feels like cheating.
These beauties are part of my diet plan. The prep is tedious as I weigh every ingredient, then divide everything by the number of items I made up.
Four pieces only costs me 152 calories. The filling is Bocconcini cheese in the bottom, with poached salmon, then a tiny slice of Swiss on top.
I like to take before and after shots...but these appetizers sure shrunk down! lol

Used up the last of my open tub of Ricotta by making Lemon Ricotta Muffins this morning.
