Apparently, everyone who’s anyone is baking and bragging and blogging about it tomorrow.
And I wanna be someone.
So expect to see some baking and bragging and blogging on here tomorrow.
(And possibly the next day.)
The proposed plan:
- Half-whole wheat waffles. At least two batches. Maybe three. Maybe four. My freezer is empty. I have the room. And the eggs. And I hate cleaning that machine.
- Granola. I can freeze this, too. I totally should. I’ll make at least a double batch.
- Half-whole wheat honey oat flax bread. I’m thinking just one loaf. I like it fresh. Unless you can convince me that freezing it will not affect the freshness. Then I’ll make more.
- Applesauce. Apples were on sale for $0.98 for 3lb bags. I got two bags. Would have gotten more, but, ya know… the frugality and all. (Two bags of baking apples, that is. Two bags of eating apples as well.)
- Apple pie. Josh has been begging for it. I hate that I’m making a pie when we have all this candy on the counter still. But he’s been begging.
- chocolate chip granola bars. Because I need something healthier to snack on than Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
- Zucchini bread. For the freezer.
So, basically just breakfast/snack/dessert items for me tomorrow. Unless I also stock up on bread. Then I can say I’m making lunches ahead, too!
Hmmm, this is going to take some figuring out, what, with the oven being used constantly and the bread machine taking an hour and a half to complete the dough cycle… Sigh. Math.
Anyone else out there doing Baking Day tomorrow? What are you making?
I’m on board, though I’ll be doing more cooking than baking. Trying to get the freezer stocked with stuff for hubby’s lunches. So it’s lots of beans. Your list looks way more fun! 🙂
I’ve gotten the baking bug, too- but apparently “everyone who’s anyone” has to be a stay-at-home mom, because us gals with full time jobs can’t set aside an entire day for baking. As much as I would like to, oh my goodness.
That said, I’ve been freezer-cooking in spurts with our meals lately. Friday I put up some lasagna, Saturday some cookies, yesterday a pizza crust. We’re pretty stocked right now.
I planed on trying out some pumpkin recipes. that was before I remembered I have a play date. So this ‘nobody’ wont be baking today. but I’m more than willing to take any thing the ‘everybodies’ are baking if there is extra. he he
Wow, baking. I love baking, but I’ve got to have a clean kitchen before I start. I guess I should probably start there, huh?
Ugh… way too hot for baking. And I’m too sleepy to (I think it’s my allergies). But, I would LOVE some of your recipes, please, if you’re willing to share (granola bars, flax bread, and the waffles…). 🙂 And now that I have a REAL oven I can do more baking. YAY!!!
I’ll post the recipes on the finale post, with all the pictures of everything. I meant to link to them all as I mentioned them all, but as you can see, I failed miserably. 😀
Whenever I make bread, I slice and freeze half of it for sandwiches for my husband’s lunch. I do 100% whole wheat, and it gets TOUGH after two days. The frozen bread thaws in the morning, keeping meat and cheese cool-ish, and my husband swears it tastes just as good as fresh.
I usually only use frozen bread for toast, french toast, etc. so I couldn’t say.
Emily – good to know! I should try that. Thanks!
