I have really been in to baking and cooking, Especially since it's the holidays! I some high lights have been a new recipe of banana muffins I have made twice now. Once with mini chocolate chips and just yesterday plain. I love them both ways but, to each their own. I got a variation of the recipe from my mom, but, me being me couldn't just use the recipe as is.. I had to play around with it and I'm glad I did! They are the best banana muffins I have ever had! EVER! Also, I made some chocolate-peppermint bark. I got really great feed back from it because it was so soft..I got it to stay some what soft by incorporating whole butter into the chocolate while it was melting and instead of having chunks of peppermint I made more of a peppermint powder. I have to say they were pretty darn good...
On another note... a friend of mine was pregnant (I say was because since then she has had the bundle) so to make her home coming a bit easier for her and her BF I made a basket of frozen foods and goodies that they could just throw in the oven instead of slaving over the stove. I made a lasagna, Shepard's pie, some thyme and panko crusted chicken strips, lemon thyme short bread cookies and finally some powdered - dark chocolate almonds! all of which I made for me and my family so I know they were totally edible! and Delicious!
I'm terrible at remembering to snap photos of my dishes but I have a few pics of some other things I have recently made! Now lets see if I can figure out how to post a picture....
Some of this was from Thanksgiving and some was for just because! More to come, hopefully not too far after the holidays.. I have creme brulee planned for Christmas dessert! I can't wait!
