Joell, that's so funny! I JUST NOW threw butter and sugar in for oatmeal raisin. And I don't have enough chocolate chips to make a batch of cookies so I'm just eating them, sans the fattening cookie coating. Who needs all those extra cookie calories anyway? Right?Hi April--I agree, I put so many chocolate chips in my cookies, the dough just keep them together, so omit dough and enjoy!!
GOOD THINKING!!

I'm making Suzanne's Strawberries and Cream Coffee Cake (after explaining to my honey that, no, it wouldn't have coffee in it, but, yes, it would still be good!) and it's cooling now. I'm wondering, though if I need to let it cool before I put the glaze on it? Has anybody made this (or her fig coffee cake)?

I answered my own question. There was a little bit of pressure from certain people who live here to finish the coffee cake, so I put the glaze on while the cake was warm and it came out fine. Gotta eat my dinner before I can have some, though . . . .

I made the yellow cake using Suzzanne's receipe on Saturday. Tasted good and was so quick and easy to make. The receipe made a big cake which was good coz I had a number of visitors on Sunday so I was able to share it out and still remain with some for us.

I made a cake and cup cakes with cooked icing. It turned out great. My confidence in my baking skills has really grown and am so thankful to CITR for that. One year ago I couldnt make bread and now I can bake good bread at any time I want and cakes too, yahoooo!!!!

Baking bread in the machine, I have only used the dough cycle, never did the complete bread baking process, I need a loaf of bread but did want to turn on the oven--hope it turns out well.
Rosina--good for you!! I bet your family is happy with all of the goodies you are making as well.

Hubby informed me this morning that, when a dry spell, whether this evening or whenever, he has to pick some strawberries! (I think I'm surprised that they're ripe already! I cannot eat strawberries, so the patch in our garden is all his!) So, he went off to work, and I got movin' making some SHORTCAKE for him … it's in the oven now.

We are about twenty miles south of PA in Harford County and have been getting local strawberries for at least a month. Paula said that this year was the earliest for them ever.
Try making a custard sauce to go with those berries. Custard sauce is like cream all dressed up for a party.

I guess everything is early this year, Ross, because of the mild winter!
And I'll run the custard sauce by Don! 
Thanks!

The custard sauce sounds yummy! Is there a recipe for it on FarmBell? I would like to try it.

Had a craving for a dark chocolate layer cake, and will frost with the icing recipe that used to be on the back of the Hersherys can years ago.

I made Suzanne's strawberries and cream coffee cake again yesterday, but this time I used peach conserve (BBB recipe that I got from here) as the fruit in the middle, homemade Greek yogurt, and leftover crushed pineapple (from making the conserve) in the dough. I should have reduced the liquid a bit, but it tasted great. I also made Suzanne's pepperoni, ricotta, and mozzarella rolls with more of the Greek yogurt and had those for dinner with some leftover pizza sauce. (FYI, I made both with 1/2 all-purpose flour and 1/2 whole wheat flour for extra nutrition--worked fine.)
Thanks, Suzanne, for all the great recipes! Needless to say, I use them a lot!

I made buns last night. They baked so nicely and taste great. My mother-in-law asked me to teach her how to make them.

Good morning! I've finally torn myself away from other stuff and forced myself to get back in the kitchen. This households needs bread.
I also have 10 lbs of peaches that need to be processed. And whatever doesn't end up as jam, gets to be a pie or cobbler. And those pepperoni rolls STH mentions…man. Gotta have some today!
Everyone have a wonderful day!I've missed you!

Peach cobbler tip!! Instead of your usual topping, try crumbling up some snickerdoodle cookies and bake as usual. I did this in a canning jar (for a personal sized tester, don'tcha know) and added a pat of butter on top before baking. So tasty! And they were stale, leftover bakery cookies, not homemade.
That was a few days ago. Today, I've mixed up some no knead ciabatta bread. Will bake it tomorrow afternoon.

That sounds so good! Thanks mamajoseph (didn't get made yesterday, but it will for sure today!) Got lots of bread baked though, and froze two unbaked loaves for later.

Made dump bread, that is look in freezer or cabinets for things to throw in and have at it. I threw in one sourdough starter that I had just divided into quarters, looked in the freezer and found some freeze dried raspberries, blackberries and blueberries… dumped them in too. Added some bread flour, sugar and 1 tsp yeast..
Put it on basic bread and let the machine do its thing.
Turned out a lovely purple loaf (all the blackberries melted in) strewn with raspberries and blueberry chunks. Perfect with some butter and strawberry jam!
