The oven is broken.

Apparently ovens can break down.

It can be difficult to bake something without heat.

Thought I would just pass on this tasty tidbit of information.

Our oven has broken down but the microwave still works so maybe I'll just bake something in there.

Chocolate Butterscotch Cookies

I found some butterscotch chips at the store. I thought they were cool so I bought them.

I also saw mini peanut butter cups too. I'll be going back for those.

I decided to make chocolate cookies with the butterscotch chips.

They turned out well. Very brownie-like and I like brownies.

Very tasty stuff.

It's a boy!

My friends, Ellen and Sara, and I baked some cookies for a baby boy shower.

Then we decorated them.

It was fun. And very messy.

I wish I had more than my phone camera to capture some pics.

 

 Duckies, Baby Carriages, Dinos, Rocking Horses, Froggies...      The works.

Banana Muffins with a Nutella Cream Cheese Frosting.

Cupcakes are like mini cakes. Sweet and covered with frosting. More of a dessert.

Muffins are like mini bread things. Lighter and not as sweet. Not frowned upon to eat for breakfast.

So, is it a muffin or a cupcake when the muffin is covered with frosting?

Probably just a mupcake, since cuffin is already in the urban dictionary.

I made some Banana Mupcakes.

Peach Pecan Sour Cream Muffins

I wanted to make something using pecans and sour cream. Mainly because there was sour cream in the fridge and pecans in the cupboard.

The only problem was that I didn't have any butter or margarine or veggie oil. Slight problem when it comes to baking.

But I manage to crank out some muffins.

White Chocolate and Blueberry Cookies

I like baking with new recipes so when I found a cookie recipe with chocolate and blueberries, I was quite excited.

So excited that I might have even dreamed about it.

Chocolate and Blueberry Cookies.

Peanut Butter Cookies.

I'm addicted to peanut butter. I like it. It tastes good. It's good for me.

I have tons of open pb jars.  The regular Kraft stuff, the natural organic stuff... you name it, I've probably got it.

It makes sense that I like peanut butter cookies as well.

Some Peanut Butter Cookies were plain, 

others had some Cadbury Crunch chocolate bar added. 

Yeah, I can get real fancy like that.

Bark!

Want a quick snack?

Eat some bark.

Not tree bark, but chocolate bark!

Chocolate bark!

It's easy to make and fun to eat.

Melt some chocolate, add in whatever you want.

If you use semi-sweet, you might have to add in some sugar.

When your done, shove it in the fridge, then break it apart when its a solid piece.

Anything Goes...

A while ago, I helped out at an event.

There was a show to watch and then there was food to eat.

Lots of different stuff donated by local restaurants.

It was pretty awesome. 

There was this giant veggie bouquet.

Salmon-cream cheese-caper wraps from Blackfriars Catering.

Cinnamon-Apple Yogurt Bread

It's Fall.

There are lots of apples around.

I'm not great at making apple pies so I thought I would make an apple loaf.
