Latest Experiments

No Harrison wasn't the experiment, he was my helper...
Squash Bread

Snickerdoodle Bloodies and dough (below)
I have been in the baking mood lately and I am not sure why.  I have never really enjoyed it that much.  However, it seems that while I enjoy the process everything I have tried  tastes the same.  Both of the these recipes called for Cinnamon and Nutmeg, I think they are the over powering culprits, also in the Banana Cake I made for Easter!  I will stay away from them in my next adventure.  The Snickerdoodle Blondies were good, but not fantastic.  They needed a sauce and a dollop of ice cream.  The Squash Bread was just okay.  I didn't care for the cinnamon because it took away from the squash.  I really wanted to make a pumpkin bread.  I have never baked with yeast, well not since Home Economics so that is my next attempt... real bread, maybe pumpkin.
