baking overload...



 


I think I mentioned before that I've been working an Amish Friendship Bread Start for a few weeks.  Last week I was able to giveaway all but one of the extra starters.  I had planned on baking with it the next day and never did.  Because of that I've been working two starters.  The past few days I've baked my fingers to the bone.  Well, it feels that way.  

I've made biscuits (top photo before baking, second photo...fail).  I don't know what I did wrong, but for some reason they didn't rise.  They taste okay, but...

I've made lemon bread but forgot to take a photo.

I've made double chocolate muffins (third photo).

And I've made peanut butter cup bread and muffins (last two photos, before and after).

I'm pretty much baked out.  

Want to know the saddest part?  I've only tasted the biscuits.

Next on my list was white chocolate pumpkin and I may still get to it, but it won't be anytime soon.  I've put the rest of my "starter" in the freezer and will pull it out eventually and make something until I've used it all.  I just can't bear to throw it out.  One good thing is that this bread freezes really well, so I've used this baking to help prepare for some upcoming fun.

You can probably figure it out if you look closely at that last photo.  :-)

What have you been up to this week?  Any autumn plans?  

thanks for stopping by!
love & blessings

ps... I should never, ever, ever be left to my own devices in a craft store...
I went in there this morning looking for two specific things and with a gift card I'd not used.  I left with all that... and forgot until about 5 minutes ago that I even had a gift card.  Seriously people, I need a keeper!  :-)  xo

My you have been busy. It all looks so delicious. I'm hoping to do some baking when the weather cools. I say that every year but never get to it. Maybe this year.

Your craft-store situation is all-too common. I can't help myself in a place like that!

I love Amish bread and have been making it for years. It's what everyone asks for at Xmas. I'm feeling the baking bug biting...

My oh my that is a full series of baking! I am inspired to start baking on my own too, now that the weather is cooling down and I can stand the heat! Next goal, banana bisquits!

Peanut butter cup bread? Whaaa??? Never heard of that before. I've just been introduced to peanut butter cups a few months ago, then peanut butter cups ice cream.....now I guess I'll just have to make the bread on day! Divine....
