Are you cooking/baking anything special this weekend?

I am thinking about making some muffins. And you?

Re: Are you cooking/baking anything special this weekend?

  • I was going to make chocolate chip cookies but I'm still waiting for El Corte Ingles to call and say my mixer has come in! Sad
  • I'm thinking about making my DH responsible for food this weekend. I am a little annoyed at how much housework and cooking I've been doing recently. Usually I enjoy baking and cooking, but when I get resentful, it's best to step back. :)
  • I made some oatmeal, apple, and caramel cookies yesterday. They are amazing and almost gone.
  • I made a gorgeous steak last night that I got from the Waitrose butcher...unbelievably YUMMY!

    I am going to make some more pumpkin puree so will figure out something to bake with it.

    I like pineapples...they make life just so much more interesting.

    Mmm...This is really making me want to make pumpkin scones. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow.
  • You guys are making me jealous. I want to find pumpkin!
  • Making lasagna tonight for dinner. Considering the price of things like beef, Italian sausage, ricotta, cottage cheese, or mozzarella cheese, this is certainly a special dish.

    If BabyD lets me, I might bake something tomorrow.

  • Nope, all out of flour and sugar, so next week.  Maybe sugar cookies again.

  • That's funny, I was in a baking mood too (and I'm never in a cooking/baking mood).  Maybe it's the cooler temps (or the fact that I'm actually home this weekend).

    Anyway, I made pumpkin spice cookies last night.  Don't be impressed... they were from a mix, not scratch, but still, tasty!

  • The pilot light for our gas stove just got turned on yesterday. I am itching to start baking now but my mom is visiting today and DH has his birthday tomorrow. At least I won't have a birthday cake fiasco like last year. I think Monday I will roast the pumpkin seeds from last week. I had to put them in the freezer since we had no gas for a week.

    Just squash, not the type of pumpkins I can find back home.

  • This post is making me hungry!

    I'm not a baker, just cooking chicken with lemon, lots of onions, garlic, ginger and hot pepper and a bone marrow as an appetizer. H is away so I'm happy to eat what I feel like having! I'm making a burger and fries for M.

  • I just made these pumpkin pillows www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/pumpkin-pillows-127535.aspx which DH and I are eating right now.  The wontons are good, neither of us really care for the dipping sauce though.  (sorry can't make it clicky)

    Is it butternut?  A lot of squashes work and taste like pumpkins in cooking.  You could definitely make and use puree from a butternut the same you would a pumpkin. 

  • I just finished a triple layer chocolate cake wit peanut butter fronting and a chocolate peanut butter glaze....O.M.G! I can't wait to taste it tomorrow!
