TWD baking Day




Today was a fun day for baking. I am visiting my family and found all the ingredients for this weeks post. Ashlee of A Year in the Kitchen chose this recipe. Here is her blog if you want to check it out. www.ashleescooking.blogspot.com/ This baking group is so much fun. I love seeing how everyone Else's turns out. I had no problems with the recipe. I found good chocolate in my Moms cubbard. That makes all the difference : ) The batter looked great and I didn't have any problems with it being too runny liker some people had mentioned. I followed the directions exactly. I can't wait to sample it next!
After trying the bread I was a little disappointed. The flavour was not what I was expecting. My bread was on the dry side and lacked banana flavour. My family all thought that it wasn't as sweet as it should have been. I think I will stick to Aunt Betsy's banana bread recipe for next time. I have already made next weeks recipe and LOVED it. Happy baking to everyone!

Hey, I just saw your comment over on another blog. Could you tell me where you got your CHEAP close to my heart stamps at?

Interesting that yours was dry. I don't think I've seen that observation yet - it's fun to read everyone's experiences with the same recipe!

Glad you got a chance to do a little baking. Wow what a fish Jonathon caught. Cute picture of Anna there with the doggies...do you think you may get another one? I just looked today at CTMH...I had forgotten about the sale. Man wish we were closer so we could share all our stuff again. Have fun.

Trying New Things

This past year has been a year of change. We moved from a huge running community to an area that does not have the biking and running trails...
