I am following a low carb, high protein eating plan, with sadly, no sugar :( so my baking may take a hit for a while until I figure out how to use substitutes. i have been reading so much on "sugar" & how the body reacts to its presence...wrecks all the good things in the oven! lol...
Thanksgiving is coming so I will be baking a pumpkin pie! I think we need recipes for the dreamiest pumpkin pie out there! I don't enjoy the really "pumpkin-y" tasting ones...so if anyone would like to share an old favorite, I'd like to give a couple a try before presenting my best on Thanksgiving!

But as I was putting it together I thought, that's a lot of sugar! I used a little more than half of what was called for and it's still a bit too sweet for me. I did use apples a little more tart than I usually buy, but still I would cut the sugar to at least half next time. I don't like things that are too sweet, e.g. I'm not a fudge eater. Adjust according to your taste :)

I made this blintz recipe yesterday:
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/blenty-...es/detail.aspx
It was pretty tasty, altho' I forgot to make some of the mods suggested in the reviews. Definitely needs something on top, imo. I sprinkled with cinnamon sugar as a reviewer suggested. I used ricotta rather than cottage cheese because I had a container to use up. Tastes best out of the oven :)

I baked my no bake jello cheesecake from the kraft box lol.
I made carrot muffins with raisins
Just finished making two fruit pizzas.
Brownies :)still a list of 5 recepies I want to make when I will have time
On Wednesday I baked my oatmeal chocolate chip squares. We didn't have as many guests as expected that night...so I've been eating a lot more of these squares than I should. I didn't freeze any, partially because we are working on emptying the freezer some.
Cranberry orange scones with almonds and big thick molasses cookies
today I'm going to make confetti squares, peanut butter squares, a hubby asked I make a pan of squares for him to take to work for the guys....so whatever kind he requests
I made chicken pot pies. I made my own pie crust! And it didn't turn out like sheet metal, for the first time ever!
http://www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com/...-and-more.html
I kind of winged it on the filling, made a roux with chicken broth, some milk, and chicken of course, some carrots. They're in the oven now, I'm so excited it's pathetic.
I'm 40+ and have never been able to make decent pie crust. This one, I didn't have high hopes for it when I blended in the shortening, it was already coming together before I added the liquid. But I mixed it in and then put it in the fridge for half an hour. I even baked a bit of just crust before wasting my pie filling on it, to see if it actually worked, and it did! :)
Today was those Dr Seuss cookies that are floating around on Pintrest (neon swirly like sugar cookies)...they look very neat when done! Also, vanilla cupcakes with bubblegum icing.....my daughters choice! I dont think I like a cupcake that tastes like I'm swallowing a mouthful of bubblegum! Something isn't right about that! :blob9:
I have an apple pie and some turnovers in the oven now.. still 20 lbs of apples to go lol.
I cheated though, I have store bought crust.
Speaking of which ...
Why is my dough doing this and taking the shape of the apples ???

Last thing i baked was a Banana Cake which i put in the freezer for a rainy day.
Hey... that is what i "baked" tonight... cept i put in a row of crushed oreos... then put some dream whip on top with some more crushed oreos sprinkled around the edge. This baking stuff is tough sometimes! LOLQuote:

Made carrot cake, iced with vanilla buttercream and crushed walnuts. Ah, yummers!
Gluten free pumpkin cheesecake.....for supper tonight, well...for dessert actually!!
I made Key Lime Pie, it was a little bit too rich for me but it was alright for a first try.
Cranberry crumble muffins with fresh cranberries. Yum!
Earlier this week, I also tried apple oatmeal cookies. I used apple chunks instead of mincing it, as the recipe had stated, and it turned out to taste like apple crisp - but in cookie form!
We ate both within a few days.
Banana muffins, the full fat kind!!! My 'no sugar' days took a hit with this one!!
Chocolate Chip oatmeal cookies of course! I ran out of eggs, and substituted a Banana - they turned out great.
Peanut Butter Cookies!
Italian Crepe with neutella and chocolate marble cake.
pumpkin muffins with cream cheese frosting :P and this was at 6:30am so the house smelled delish :P
2 dozen chocolate cupcakes with real buttercream frosting & rainbow sprinkles...did this twice one month apart..I decided I need to clebrate my birthday twice! ;)..once on Sptember 26th & once on October 27th! :)
Wanted to bake butter pecan cupcakes but dumb me went out and bought the eggs I needed but forgot to check if I had enough muffin cups...I do not have enough so cupcakes are on hold until Tuesday night when I have the night off from class to work on an assignment.
Vegan pumpkin pie :)
