October Baking

Hi all,

How is everyone?

I'm ok, though not feeling terrifical, due to an oncoming cold.  But all things considered...

I'm thankful for each new day - for opportunities to learn, be humbled, and draw closer to the Lord! :)

Lately, I've been accepting this cool October weather as the perfect excuse to bake!

You've probably noticed the theme in my posts by now...

I like to bake.

Here are 3 recent recipes I've tried:

Sunday morning I made blueberry muffins.
(I believe this was the recipe I used).
Changed it up a bit by using whole wheat flour in them.
Also for the topping: melted the butter and added oats instead of flour.

The only negative about the muffins was... that I got them in the oven too late and was consequently 30 minutes late for church! :P

Still working on those time management skills.

Molasses cookies.

MMMMMMMMM!!!!

(recipe).

These are so good. 

If you've never made molasses cookies you really must try. 

It's like a ginger snap, only chewy!

There were originally a whole batch of them but now the above picture is all that remains. ;)

And last, but not least:

Peanut butter cookies!

You can find the recipe that I used here. 
The only changes I made were substituting margarine for the butter and rolling the balls of dough in sugar before pressing them with a fork and baking. 

These are delicious, though they tend toward the dry side.

Also: if you make your cookies small, know that this recipe makes a lot of cookies.  (roughly 6 dozen in my case).



Well, that's all for now.

Hope you're having a Terrifical Tuesday! ;)

Que le vaya bien!
