I made a batch of blondies because I wanted cookies but have no chcolate chips :(
These ended up being really good though. Instead of melting the butter I just creamed it with the sugar and made it into a cookie dough instead of something you pour into a pan and bake. I did cookies out of it and the bottoms went kind of caramelized yum! I think I've had between 4-6 already and have now cut myself off LOL!
Yesterday I made a batch of orange flavored fudge, if you like orange aero bars and terrys chocolate orange you will love this I have the recipe on my blog: http://funkyfrugalmommy.blogspot.ca/...nge-fudge.html
haven't baked lately....but my sister-in-law made an easy pineapple cake....just combine an angel food cake with a 398 ml. can crushed pineapple...frost with whipped cream......very yummy. :)
I decided to start using up some cake mixes I got for free or for cheap and made lemon cake Hungry Girl style -- used a lemon cake mix and just added soda (I used plain club soda instead of the recommended diet flavored soda because I don't do artificial sweeteners - maybe some pure stevia occasionally). Also added some fresh lemon juice because I looove lemon. It came out pretty good -- good enough to stave off my craving for the lemon cupcakes with icing that I get at my local grocery store. I would and make again.
Not baked, but I made - or tried to make -- larabar dupes. It was a lot of work and came out too sticky and soft to shape into bars. The instructions failed to say to use a food processor instead of the Magic Bullet I discovered that reading a second Larabar dupe recipe by the same food blog owner. I rolled some of a plain batch into balls with either pretzel bits or chocolate chips and a friend said he thought they were better than the real thing. Don't know if he was just being polite -- lol. But the batch I made with cashew pieces was really yummy and I think I might try it again. This is all the more surprising since I'm not a fan of dates -- well at least not date squares.
Speaking of recipe fails, can anyone help me with this:

Made Cowboy cookies last night - wowsers, they are good! Good thing I don't make them more often! :)
Today will hopefully be peanut butter cookies.
I made a batch of gluten free, steel cut oatmeal and cranberry cookies, and a second batch with raisins in them. Then I made dh 2 dozen blueberry bran muffins and a dozen with bananas in them...only one problem, I had to use the neighbors outside deepfreeze as it all would fit in my freezer. I keep forgetting we're in the rv :shrug:
I'm posting this super late, but here are the vegan cupcakes I made for Valentines Day!

Oatmeal crackers? Cheese/onion breakfast muffins? Those both sound great, care to share a recipe?
Tonight my DS and I made lemon bars with this recipe:
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/The-Best-Lemon-Bars/
They're VERY good, hard to believe that the lemon flavour comes from only two lemons. I did use the zest too though, that might have given them more lemon power. :)
DH birthday is tomorrow so his fave chocolate cake is in the oven.
What a coinky-dink -- I just saved that same recipe to my recipe box this morning! Looove lemon and this sounded so easy - glad to hear you give it a thumbs up!Quote:
