This Week in Baking..

These weeks have been so busy! The weather is totally erratic - one minute cool, the next rainy, the next sunny and warm.. and then cool again - it’s the perfect weather for catching a cold! That’s exactly what I did and then it’s been like a non-stop marathon trying to fit in my social and blogging life into my tough work schedule!  BUT… I did manage to bake a little during the evenings.  It’s probably one of those activities that keeps me sane.

Last week, I made two loaves of honey whole wheat bread.  They were awesome.  I found the recipe here.  Sorry that I forgot to take pictures, the bread got eaten WAY WAY too fast!  Then on Monday, I tried a different and more disasterous recipe.  It was kind of similar, but without the milk.  The bread tasted good, but I don’t know if the yeast was fresh (it did seem not soooo frizzy when I was letting it sit).  Anyway, it was edible and tastes really good with peanut butter and jelly.  It just didn’t rise like I thought it would or wanted it to.

Then yesterday, right before we went out to a birthday party, I found a recipe for Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins on cooks.com.  Here’s the very simple recipe!  And here’s how they turned out!
