Baking Day - Part 2

Posted in Recipes

Well, the oven went off at five minutes to one - and while my entire list did not get done, a good portion of it did.  I am satisfied with my morning's labors.

First thing, I threw together some whole wheat bread and then some banana chocolate chip muffins.

Next, I put together 32 Pigs-in-a-Blanket:

Finally, I topped it off with an experiment - Pizza Hot Pockets.  They taste delicious, but they are quite large, so instead of making 12 I think I'll stretch the dough to make 18 instead next time.  I used the dough recipe for the Piggies, then filled them with spagetti sauce and mozzarella cheese.  Next time, if I can get them on sale ;), I'll put pepperoni in as well.  And maybe fill some with cheddar cheese and thinly sliced ham.  And even though they were experimental, they were devoured with great enthusiasm.

Now, I'm off to do history with Jigger, hopefully get some grading done and some water down me, then back in to the kitchen for the afternoon round.  Here's a preview:  make veggie soup (for dinner with piggies), cook rice (to go in the soup), make some Cinnamon-Raisin Bread and set to rise in the fridge for breakfast tomorrow, thaw some ground chicken for dinner tomorrow night, and maybe even make some no-bake cookies.  See you then!

What is your recipe for the banana muffins? Everytime I try banana muffins they come out like rocks! Those look so light and yummy!

Oh boy, Shani, I am trying to lose weight. Good thing I don't live at your house. It all looks too good!
Our friends call those no-bakes "boiled cookies", isn't that a funny name? And, you must use some chunky pb in them!
Off to do errands. Nice chatting with you!
